Xbox Cloud gaming session limit should be changed.

It's really frustrating to get kicked mid-match, especially when the session limit is only an hour. Just loading up takes a minute, and an hour isn’t enough to fully enjoy the game. A two-hour limit would be much more reasonable—it allows time for some wins and a chance to just chill without constantly worrying about getting disconnected.

The limit only applies to Fortnite. If you install the game or pay for Game Pass Ultimate, you won't have the limit.

Yes, all "Unofficial PC Sessions" when attempting to play via Cloud Gaming session.

Single player and "Player Dedicated Ark" server sessions will load fine in Cloud Gaming.

"Unofficial PC Sessions" servers will load fine if played via the Xbox Console itself.

Error given in Cloud Gaming session is "Cloud Not Retrieve Address".

Issue has persisted for 3-4 days now and appears to be affecting all players through Cloud Gaming. Numerous reports in Ark Official community website, official Discord server, and Reddit.

Xbox Support told me that anyone gaming this issue should report it as an outage through the Xbox Services Status page here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

That's sad to hear.

Well, to avoid this problem in the future I think could be great that before closing the cloud gaming session go back to the main game screen and leave it there for about 1 min and then end your cloud gaming session

Now, about the thing with the audio... are you experiencing this only with this game?

Try some of the suggestions provided in this article to see if something helps

If you're experiencing this problem only with this game please share this feedback (usually when you end the session the feedback screen appears)

Nope, sadly cloud gaming doesn't have remote game management

The cloud gaming feature is attached only to the account / xbox profile that owns the subscription
So, that means is not possible to sign with a different profile

Right now the options are limited to fix the problem downloading the game in a compatible console or PC and then fix the problem from there, in that way the saved changes are going to be reflected in the cloud

Xbox Cloud gaming session limit should be changed.
