Suspected internal account issue.

Shatter34g · Mar 29, 2021

Okay, so, I've been having a connection error when attempting to sign into Xbox Live on my Xbox 360. Funny thing is, every other account connects just fine, and my network is working perfectly. I have had no issues signing into my account on other devices, even when playing those same 360 games on an Xbox One. I have tried every standard and non-standard procedure to get this fixed, to no avail.

For this reason, I believe this is due to an internal error with my account. If there is anybody at Microsoft who can look into this, I would be eternally grateful.

Hi,

did you change your Gamertag ? In this (and other) cases you must download your profile again to make it work ! You should give it a try even if you did not change the Gt.

Hi EX.

I tried this a few days ago and it worked like a charm! I've been thoroughly testing it, and nothing has come up, so it's finally fixed at last. Thank you for the help, it's a huge thing you've done for me, really.

Hello there @Shatter34g, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about your issue; However, we have multiple detailed troubleshooting steps for this matter on the official Xbox website to help you take care of it. Before going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned on the link I was referring to, I would like you to go through the following steps to clear your Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

Another thing you should check is your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500 (UDP).

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed here is the official link to all the 360 network troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out for you.

The first link: Troubleshoot your Xbox 360 network connection | Xbox Support

The second link: Troubleshoot your Xbox 360 network connection speed | Xbox Support

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

Its very hard to believe 343i did not notice these issues while beta testing internally. The achievement glitches are very common and I suspect 343i turned a blind eye in order to ship the DLC in time.

If you suspect an internal electrical problem with it,. Demand a replacment. I wouldnt even power it up.
