If you never received an invite message then you were most likely never invite, so please post in the abovementioned forumpost

Sounds like a NAT type issue or an ISP instability problem. What is your NAT type at the moment? If it's strict or moderate you could experience problems and may want to force a new IP address.

Even if your NAT type is saying open I would still be inclined to reset your router and force a new IP address. To do this simply unplug all wires from the back of your router and wait for 5 minutes (must be 5 minutes) then plug everything back in again.

Hopefully that will sort it. If not try changing your DNS IPv4 & IPv6 addresses. Use

Google's public DNS if you like.

Thanks for the update!

Are you possibly able to test your Xbox One on a different network to see if there's any change?
