Making looking for group posts for Xbox games on pc.

Hello Doonut,

Thanks for confirming that your issue is about the PC version of Looking for Group (LFG). In that case, Xbox Console Companion has been a great help for streaming, LFG and installation of games in the previous versions of the Windows. Now, that Windows 10 and Windows 11 is updated, the Xbox Console Companion will be moved over to Xbox app. Where Xbox app will help you manage your game library and subscription, while the built in app - Xbox Game Bar will help you with the recording, capturing, linking of account, and managing headset/microphone and LFG.

Regards,

Sorry for the late reply but the "error message" was irrelevant. I said that the first time I tried to post THIS post it gave me that error message, and refreshing fixed it. I can post LFG posts on my Xbox but I was looking for a way to make LFG posts for games on Xbox but on my computer.

Hello Doonut,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you wanted to do an LFG (Looking for a group) post and is unable to because of the error message. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

Based on your description, this is happening on Xbox for PC. To ensure you stay up to date like the games are always updating. We recommend you perform update, repair and install apps if necessary. You will be using Xbox Game Bar for this new update instead of Xbox Console Companion app. Some features of Xbox Console Companion are now migrated to Xbox app. You will be updating Gaming Services to ensure you play matching the games updates.

So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.

Restart your device

As basic as this is, a simple restart can set many things right.

Make sure Windows is up to date

1. Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.
   
2. On Windows 10, select Update & Security. On Windows 11, select Windows Update.
   
3. On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates to see if any updates are available for your device.
   
4. Once the updates have downloaded, select Install now to start the installation.
   
5. Following installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates can take effect.
   

For more info, go to:

Windows Update

Update your Windows and device drivers

For the best game performance, make sure your system’s video card drivers (or display adapter drivers) are up to date. Drivers are available on the support website for your computer manufacturer, or if your computer system is custom built, on the video card manufacturer’s support website. Updating video card drivers can resolve game crashes, improve frame rates, and improve overall game performance.

Make sure both the Xbox and Gaming Services apps are up to date

1. Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.
   
2. Select Library.
   
3. Under Updates & downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app. If an update is available, select Update.
   

Make sure you’re signed in to the Xbox app and the Store with the same account

When you open the Xbox app on your device, be sure you sign in to the app using your own Xbox account. You may also need to be signed in to the Store (xbox.com) in order to play a purchased game.

To make sure your permissions for the game can be validated, be sure to sign in to both the Store and the Xbox app using the same account that was used to purchase the game.

For help with signing in, go to:

Sign in to Xbox

Remove and reinstall Gaming Services

Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:

1. Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.
   
2. In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
   
   get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   
3. In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
   
   start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
   
4. Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
   
5. Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Hey V3nomFata1ity,

You should try posting to the forums of the game or sub-reddits for said games, and say "Looking for friends" or "Looking for a group to play with"!

You could also utilize the "Looking for Group" feature on Xbox Live. https://www.bing.com/search?q=looking+for+group+xbox&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN

You can also join clubs on Xbox and post there as well to meet new people!

Best,
