It's being said on Neogaf that the whole party system is being reworked so that xbl handles parties and chat as opposed to xbox ones PS3-style-games-control-VOIP.

Cboat mentioned before release that the party system was reworked from 360 and changing games required "handshakes" between services to keep parties and that this caused problems. But he was shot down! He was spot on and the party system has gone down exactly as he said it would.

So it's on neogaf that ms are completely redoing party to do away with those "handshakes" and going back to xbl controlling VoIP rather than each game.Click to expand...

He wasn't spot on. He and others said the whole thing was broken, that snap was broken than xbox live would barely work and there would be huge problems.

There aren't. And now they try to weasel out of it with weasel words and backtracks.

Party chat is not broken either, it just works differently and isn't as user friendly as it should be. MS are addressing this.

It could be one of several issues. Have you tried power cycling the console by holding the power button on it for 10 seconds until it shuts down?

Also, there are changes coming to the chat system (as per Major Nelson) where the party chat will be on dedicated servers. Now if anyone from your party is in the preview program they will be testing this feature. If someone in their party is not in the
preview then the party system will default to the regular party system. However, it may be possible that the preview (if you are in it) may be causing issues with normal party chat with others.

The party chat has been broken since day one. I'm not able to get party chat to work until at least 3 tries of console resets each time. All the settings are correct, followed the guides and tips, and it's been over a year yet the party chat remains in the
same broken state it's been in since day one. Give up, Microsoft is never going to fix anything.

It's quite strange how the evolution of Xbox Live has become more insular with the advent of party chat. Back in the days of Beta and Xbox One, people had no choice but to chat to each other and take the insults as they come (they were few and far between).
I'm no fan of party chat but it's not like Battlefield makes chat easy... their system is broken in game as well.

Do you mean in game chat or party chat? If you mean party chat then its probably just party chat being broken as usual. My advice make a skype account for both of you and use that because my buddy and I find its the only reliable voice communications on
the One.
