  1. Some online games not working


    I’m on a Series S and noticed a number of my online games won’t allow multiplayer. This includes Fortnite and Ark Survival Ascended. This doesn’t apply to all games as Warframe still works, but the two games mentioned before don’t even after hard resetting and changing the DNS

    Hi ONyX, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, try clearing your MAC address.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system, then Settings.

    In the General tab, select Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address > Clear.

    Restart your console. Press and hold the Xbox button in the center of your controller to open the Power Center.

    Select Restart console and then select Restart.

    (If the console appears to be frozen, press and hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds, until the console turns off. After the console shuts down, touch the Xbox button on the console again to restart.)

    Sign in to your console.

    Let me know if it works!

    Hello ONyX,

    Unfortunately, I don't have any further troubleshooting to offer.

    There are many knowledgeable users active on the forum and I hope that someone else can offer further insight on your issue.

    Thanks,

    You can also change your connection DNS.

    Please, follow these steps:

    Go to Profile and System > Settings

    In the Settings menu, select General > Network settings.

    Select the network you're connected to, then select Advanced settings > Manual

    On the DNS field, input these:

    Primary: 8.8.8.8
