    Online Gaming In Different Regions?


    Looking for some help.

    I've recently moved to the USA from the UK and am trying to figure out how to play games like CO4 MF4 with my friends back in the UK when on the Xbox One.

    What happens is when I join a group with them we can never get a game match when i am in a group with them. However soon as I leave the group they get matches and I have to try and join their game (typically only get in 1 in 5 or so games with this option
    when I join).

    I understand this is most likely due to the network tests to find optimized servers for all party members ie latency, distance etc.

    However is there a way around this without resorting to a VPN with crazy low latency?

    Is there any Xbox or COD4 MFR setting to allow me to join games in party with them?

    I understand setting local to UK when I play with them might sort this? However not managed to try this recently.

    Any support or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance

    :)

    UK Purchased Games

    No problem.

    If you purchase a game from a different region, there is a chance it may not work on your console as some games are region locked. I am not sure if the EA Online Passes are also region locked though.

    [quote user="KLRSKIR"]

    Some people have multiple consoles from different regions, allowing them to play games from different regions.

    [/quote]

    That's not actually completely correct, although some do take this route a large percentage of 360 games are in fact region free and can be played on any region.

    Lists are freely available online OP.

    Does a xbox bought in spain work in norway or other country?

    Yes it will work in Norway, but you may need a new power brick(as different countries have different power voltages). If Xbox live for xbox one isn't available in your region at launch, then you won't be able to use the console online. On a lighter note,
    the Xbox One will play games from any region as it is region free.

    Region Differences????

    The issue isn't that it isn't available in your region south africa

    The issue is you are trying to get content not intended for your region

    That's what the error is telling you

    You cannot use region locked content outside of its intended region

    So us or UK content must be downloaded with a UK or us physical region

    You must use the region migration tool under my account and change your region on this website to correct it and then change the account region appropiately

    For the best experience with xbox live you must use your physical region for your account region or you will continue to have issues

    Different region?

    Incorrect

    Bulgaria isnt the same region you are talking about something completwly different

    Bulgaria isnt a xbox live region therefore the problem

    Xbox live regions are by country NOT continents

    Now.back.to your issue

    From.thr sounds of it.you didnt do.a Migration

    But somwthing else

    Changing the setting on https://accounts.microsoft.com doesnt migrate the region but causes what you are seeing now.region conflict

    This is why you MUST use the region migration tool as mentioned in my first post

    Chsnging the region on https://accounts.microsoft.com only allows you to chsnge the ms account not. The xbox.live accounts region

    As mentioned before its not a one click option and gives three warnings ontop.of the 3month warning

    Changing the ms account region only allows you to add a different regions billing address not.migration

    Which allows you to use xbox one but not xbox 360 as the xbox account must be the same which is why you are getting that error

    You can also.confirm with xbox support

    Xbox actually goes by your xbox account region regardless of your console setting on the webpage
