    Loss of internet connection whenever I start a Microsoft Store game / Game Pass game


    I have had the Xbox Game Pass for a while now which I have been using to play Sea of Thieves on the PC without issue. Last month I upgraded to the
    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and proceeded to download the latest windows update needed for the new
    Xbox (Beta) app.

    Now whenever I launch any game pass game (Sea of Thieves for example), the PC immediately loses connection to the internet. The connection only returns in small sporadic intervals before quickly stopping again but for the most part there is no connection
    at all. Only by closing the game, does the internet connection return to normal operating function. During the connection outage the following warning repeats in the event viewer: "Name resolution for the name wpad timed out after none of the configured DNS
    servers responded." Event ID: 1014 Source: DNS Client Events.

    I want to emphasize this only happens with windows store/ game pass games. Games on steam don't have any problems when running.

    I don't really understand what is causing this behaviour. In an effort to fix it, I have gone through the recovery option "Reset this PC" but the problem persists. I also thought maybe the
    Xbox (Beta) app was the culprit but even with it uninstalled, I still lose internet when starting a game pass game up. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

    :)

    Hey Sabanata

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

    Most DNS issues tend to be something to do with hardware related things. For this matter, there are a few things that could be causing this:

    - TCP/IP Offload is enabled for a network adapter

    - TCP/IP v6 is enabled and their ISP does not yet support TCP/IP v6.

    - The spanning tree “portfast" setting is not enabled on your servers switch ports.

    - Router and PC communicating with different channel or standard.

    There is an article that talks a lil bit about how to resolve this, which you can find

    here


    Have you had a chance to restart your router? This can solve the majority of the issues with your network connection.

    Additionally, if you can test your network in the Xbox App and let us know what you are displaying, this can be done by
    selecting the Start button on your PC, select
    Settings > Gaming >
    Xbox Networking and check NAT type.

    Go ahead and let us know what these results are, and we should be able to assist you a bit further.

    So I have actually been on that page about DNS issues before but just as a sanity check I went through all the fixes it again. Doesn't help that all the fixes are for Windows 7 not Windows 10 but I followed them through as best I could. None of the fixes
    on that page worked.

    I have restarted the router multiple times over the last month. Just done it again now. No fix.

    Here are my NAT status before starting a game pass game:

    Internet connection: Connected

    Xbox live services: Up and running

    Latency: 146 ms

    Packet loss: 0%

    NAT Type: Open

    Server connectivity: Connected

    And while playing a game pass game:

    Internet connection: Not connected

    Xbox live services: Not available

    Latency: Not available

    Packet loss: Not available

    NAT Type: Teredo is unable to qualify

    Server connectivity: Blocked

    Cant find my unredeemed game pass in the microsoft store

    Hello Abhiiishek,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through, it looks like your device comes with an Xbox Unlimited Game Pass, but you can't find it in the "included with device" section of the Microsoft store.

    There are several reasons why this could be happening.

    One possibility is that the game pass was not activated correctly.

    Make sure Game Pass is activated and associated with your Xbox account.

    Another possibility is that the game pass has expired.

    Xbox Unlimited Game Passes last for 12 months from the activation date. Make sure the game pass has not expired.

    It is also possible that there is a problem with the Microsoft store.

    Make sure your device is connected to the Internet and the Microsoft Store is up to date.

    Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

    Check the activation of the game pass.

    Make sure Game Pass is activated and associated with your Xbox account.

    You can check your Game Pass activation status on your Xbox account page.

    Check the expiration date of the game pass.

    Xbox Unlimited Game Passes last for 12 months from the activation date.

    You can check the Game Pass expiration date on your Xbox account page.

    Check the Internet connection and the Microsoft store update.

    Make sure your device is connected to the Internet and the Microsoft Store is up to date. You can check if the Microsoft Store is up to date by opening the Store app and selecting "My Games & Apps."

    Then, select "Games" and search for "Xbox Game Pass." If the game doesn't appear, you may need to update the Microsoft Store.

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    Hi! I am here to clarify a bit.

    Buying the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate while having a subscription already will convert the days you have left into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with no extra cost. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold.

    You will be charged Rs 699 if you purchase Xbox Game Pass and then purchase the Ultimate version.

    Games will not be able to run if you do not have a valid internet connection. This is due to microsoft needing to verify the accounts subscription to Xbox Game Pass. If you start the game and then turn off the internet connection, you might be able to keep
    playing.
