Connecting to Online Issues

I Got Guiled
Welcome to the NRS Online experience. Going wired certainly helps. But it does not solve the problem.



Since the 360 all downloads go automatically in the main hard drive first until you transfer it yourself. I've had problems with DLCs in MK9 and Injustice because of this. But for the X1 I don't use an external hard drive so there's nowhere else for the updates to go to. And seeing as I'm on the current version of the game anyways, it doesn't seem to be a part of the problem.

Soon maybe later today when I get home I plan on making a thread with details of symptoms, tried solutions and possible causes.
It was showing up I had the current version of the game as well, but the compatibility patches were installed in a different place. That is why I think I could play the game but couldnt get online because my "online version" was not compatible with everyone else's version.

I see. I'll have a look at it, but like I said, I don't have any external hard drive for the updates to download into. And as far as I know, you can't manage specific updates to a game within the hard drive. If you know how, please do tell otherwise I'll have a crack at it later today
 
So i checked back on my brother console just to see that that game isnt working anymore. Same issue with the connection to online.
When it does connect though and i search to find a player after about 1 min of searching a message popped up saying im not connected to xbox live and faction servers. I went to dashborad to check im im still connected and i was sill connected. Rooms still work aswell. Why is this happening? All other game work without any problem. It has to be on our end. Also the thing Fraud Blank said that its working when hes on wirless make more sense now.

Most people have this issue since the Tanya patch.
I was talking to Paulo on Aris' stream about it (twitch.tv/avoidingthepuddle, check him out, hes awesome) and apparently they aren't even aware this issue exists. At first he said it would be a port issue on our end, he told me to run a few tests (port being open and what not, the usual) and since everything
on my end was fine, he said he would send the issue to their tech team.
I'm really hoping this will get fixed soon, on some days it works, but mostly it doesnt.
Haven't been able to play since Tanya patch as I'm not willing to wait 10 minutes for a ranked game every time, especially considering that the netcode is quite disgusting as it was in MK9/Injustice too.
Just typing this to maybe give a little comfort to everyone with this issue

I think this is a separate problem. On xbox.com/status it says they are doing a scheduled maintenance right now, which is probably why the faction servers thing is coming up. Destiny players are apparently having the same problem.

The connecting to online screen of death seems to be exclusive to MKX.

Thank You!! I guess Paulo didn't bother checking this thread despite the countless tags. But I don't blame him because TYM's been spamming him lately for useless shit. Which really sucks when we do actually need him.

But big props to getting him to notice this finally. I really hope this issue gets resolved ASAP because I don't plan on staying wireless with a crap connection for long only to temporarily bypass a 7 minute loading screen.

Well connecting to the same connection wireless or not doesn't solve the issue. It has to be a separate connection and it'll probably still work if wired.

In my case, we have a main modem and a router hooked to it but it's far away. I normally have my X1 wired to the main modem but to bypass the 7 minute loading screen, I have to connect wirelessly to the router which is far away. If it weren't for the distance I'd have it connected wired as well

Thank you for that. It's quite concerning that despite what MS have been saying and the fact that it's over a month that this started happening, it seems they're only hearing about it now. Doesn't mean that other guys don't know and aren't working on something, but at least now we know one of the head honcho's are aware.

Hopefully you linked the thread if possible, or at least he decides to drop by and take a look at what's been said/done/tested by us.

Hard reset the xbox. It happened to me once I think around the time of Jason release. If that doesn't work try clearing the cache
The reboot or hard reset worked. Thanks. Lol I read it has happened to many people apparently others had the same issue with cod,halo etc when googled as well as mk.

1)Play on a different xbox (lol)
2) Play on a different connection (lmfao)

You get off easy. Try dealing with the shit we're dealing with lol.
Well, wasn't that easy, lol I spent a while trying to get it to work lol like an hour+ then started to get annoyed a little. So I came on here and googled I did so when while I read your post, so figured ok what the hell let me try this...I had already uninstalled, installed etc lol.

You're on Xbox too it says, is it giving you a different problem? I am reading it's freezing on people, that happened once few weeks ago but it allowed me to restart the xbox thankfully without an issue of the game starting that time.

I told you, the thing that happened to you happened to me around the time of Jason's release. Which is no big deal compared to the current issue I'm dealing with as well as many others

Its concerning this is still going on, and a big W T F to them not even knowing about it. I thought the Predator patch fixed it, because mine has been working fine since i got pred.

Well to me an issue is an issue, what issue are you having exactly? I've had of late minor issues with freezing at times but if I restart my xbox it usually fixes it.

Not counting that other issue I had of course. I'm sure they'll patch it as far as NRS's end is concerned.
