NAT TROUBLESHOOTING DID NOT HELP ME!

MS should upgrade all XBOX LIVE members to premium Skype membership to use group chat there.

360 Chat works fine.

SKYPE works fine.

Xbox Live, and all the random chats we have in party mode along with it!

On Wednesday, I got on with some randoms for 2 hours and everything worked fine. Got a buddy on, the first launch of our MW3 party (in party chat) into a room, it disconnected from live, said it was searching for my online profile (after already having
found my online profile just moments before) and even though it said I was disconnected I could hear my buddy over the party chat for an additional 20 seconds. Things appeared to drop out completely after that but Live was still connected (even though it
said it wasn't), and I was able to get the friend back in the room, back into party chat, and then everything worked flawlessly from there on out (only exception was Hardhat lagged a decent amount the first couple of times we played on just that one map on
HC Team Tactical). Thursday, everything ran fine. Either my stuff was fixed because of my post, or whatever demon is trolling thru MW3/XBOX Live hit me and moved on for now.

I am having the same problem. I even went back to 360 and it is bad as well. To me it seems to be something with xbox live. I have heard that at times there have been problems with it but everything online is fine. All my connections are fine. I couldn't
even go into party chat on the xbox one.

I have an Xbox 1 wireless controller and a brand new Xbox 1 headset. When playing fortnite my mic will not work in game mode but will work on party mode - I have tried every posted fix i could find. I have tried other controllers. I have tried other headsets.
The issue seems to be with fortnite as it will not allow me to use my mic if i am not using the party setting.

please post a fix or a patch to resolve this issue.

From what I gather, you are wanting to be able to use the voice chat that is included in the game, instead of your Xbox Live Party. Fortunately, there is an option for this.

First, go to your Xbox Live Party. Then, go to the "Options" button, and push it. Then, press "Switch to game chat." That should solve the problem. Hope this helps!
