rjaaayyy Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 it stayed open so thanks for that, just been trying to name and allow as many servers. Last night i did struggle connecting in party, would say connecting then come back, then back to connecting, it was still battling to stay connected to the party. My friend is named and allowed on my list, so why does it still struggle to stay connected to his party sometimes??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you will need to allow that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that even using a ping assist value of 25-35 ms can be enough to let you connect with a server, since they're usually within a low ping from you. This could help avoid having to do this process when you are invited to someone else party, provided they're near you and likely connected to a chat server that's within your ping assist value. If you want, during the time a connection is being chosen and you see all the servers on the map when you are in spectating mode, quickly allow all the server nearest to you. Repeat the process as many times as needed to allow all the servers you can, because as I said, they appear on the map for A BRIEF period. For example I'm in Italy and I see one server in the Netherlands, one in England and one in Ireland. You may also need to add them more than once, though, as I have a hunch they're actually MULTIPLE servers appearing in the same locations. Oh, also FIY my other settings are: I've got UPNP DISABLED and I've assigned a static IP address to my Xbox on my internal LAN. ALL the recommended ports from the Xbox website are correctly forwarded to my Xbox IP address. This worked for me, hope this helps anybody who is having issues. Hello, I thought I replied to this topic about a week ago but I guess it didn't post....I can confirm this is a valid workaround. It might take a couple of tries with selecting the right servers to allow. The downside to fixing the party chat issue is your Geo-Filter ping assist feature would suffer as some of the servers you may have whitelisted might give you a higher ping to a game server. At least this is what I experienced. What I found is that as long as you are able to select the right Microsoft server that is needed your ping assist search should work relatively accurate. I'm currently using a Series X, Wired, Xfinity gateway in Bridge mode to XR450 and living in Florida, U.S.A. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonB_tn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This problem started about a year ago...................first I could not connect or remain in xbox live chat in COD Warzone (crossplay)when another player was using a computer,,,,, Then when Cold War came out I could not connect in crossplay or live chat............. Is this problem with the Netduma to be resolved soon or do I need to get another router.......... if I do I can assure you it will not be a netduma...............

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps we've been through in this thread? Do you still experience this issue if you leave Geo-filter disabled and then re-enable it once you're partied up?

For a device made specifically for gaming yet a core function of gaming is broken is beyond me. Find another router mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB_tn Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If I have to get another router it won't be a Netduma........... if they can't keep their product working properly especially considering the price paid for it..........you would think that if they have an issue that cannot be fixed that they would offer the R2 at a deep discount to those that have the R1.............

Musinho Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi @DonB_tn, I didn't read the whole thread here, but did you try already do open ports in netduma or just use the DMZ server function? If you did it and you still have problems, then maybe something is blocking in your modem(router) which is in front of your netduma router. But if you cannot connect to parties/chats then it's definitely a port issue. Something is blocking your connection. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
