    Unable to play certain games online


    My friend and I are trying to play Dying Light 2 together but this past Friday he ran into an issue where he could no longer see me online. He was not receiving my in-game invites and the ones he got through the xbox menu were not working. It was not his internet because we are able to play Steep together via cloud gaming. He has tried restarting his console, clearing his MAC address, and restarting his router but we are still unable to connect. He plays on an Xbox Series S and I have a Series X. He also tried to download Rocket League so we could play something else while this is fixed but now he is unable to connect to a game in that too. I am just confused because it seems to be for specific games and it is not his internet because we can still party up and cloud game just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    :)

    Hi Dicipulus, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    You're correct that it can be a game-specific issue but since this is happening with multiple games we need to ensure that we will be able to fix any issue with the console.

    Kindly ask your friend to reset the console keeping the games and apps. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

    Select Reset console.

    Reset and keep my games & apps.

    Can not play BF3 online

    This is due to a age restriction on the profile called 'Family Settings'. You have been restricted to play games of a certain age category, therefore you are unable to play online.

    Xbox Security Preferences Problems

    Did they do it online? They need to sign in online and allow certain games to be played.

    Xbox live

    One month I forgot to renew my membership and when I went online to play destiny, I was unable to do certain maps because you needed matchmaking and you can only do that with xbox live gold. My gold games were still available to play though. Hope this
    clears up some confusion

    i am unable to play certain games

    Hi Joeparke, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    If I may ask, are you on Xbox or PC? Are you trying to launch a game when the error appears or you're on the process of installing a game?

    Also, I would appreciate it if you can provide me with the exact message that you're getting so I can check that for you.
