This will be a cleaned up version of this thread:
http://testyourmight.com/threads/connecting-to-online-issues.53160/
This is a quick description as to what this is:
For some reason, on the Xbox One version of MKX, random connections get targetted by what I'm going to call from now on the "loading screen of death", name courtesy of a TYM member whose name escapes me at the moment. What this does is that when you boot up the game, the "Updating Game Data" screen that normally takes less than 5 seconds to load up now takes at least 2 minutes if not more. And where it gets really bad is when you go Online. The "Connecting to Online" screen that normally takes AT MOST 30 seconds now lasts at least 5 minutes and sometimes on the worst case, 20 minutes. If the loading screen wasn't bad enough, your game now functions as if the NAT Type were set to Moderate or Strict even when it's Open. Meaning that you will have a hard time connecting to people and may or may not be able to go into the Rooms. And last but not least, when you do actually get into a game, the delay is so bad that it's borderline playable. Worse than the fuck awful that is the "usual".
There is only a tenporary single but highly inconvenient solution we have found so far and that is to play on a different connection. The 2 ways we have found so far are:
1)Playing on a different Xbox even when connected to the same Network
2)Connecting your xbox to a different router even if said router is connected to the main network
We also have tried countless of other solutions in order to try and fix this problems ourselves and most did not work besides the ones listed above in the white text. The failed solutions include:
Resetting the internet
Re-installing DLC
Re-installing the game
Restoring the Xbox to factory default
Port-forwarding
Switching from wired to wireless and vice-versa
Removing DLC
Clearing the cache
Enabling DMZ
Switching accounts
Deleting and re-downloading accounts
Deleting Save files
Hard resetting the Xbox
Testing the multiplayer connection and holding the 4 shoulder buttons to confirm the NAT Type
Playing a Living Tower
Delinking WB account
Re-linking WB account
This issue has started around the time of Tanya's release. To me, personally I believe it was a day or 2 after TCW.
Known players to have this issue:

and more. This is only in TYM. A quick google searh lead me to other forums where other people experience the same issue

Many players also tried to contact NRS, WB and Microsoft to get them to notice this but have had little to no response. Paulo himself has been tagged several times in the "Connecting to Online issues" thread. The latest update we have is
@tupacshakur99 who claims to have spoken to Paulo via stream chat about this and Paulo saying that he was not aware that this issue existed until recently and that he'd speak to the appropriate people. There is also another TYM user
@shogunoflive who claims to be an NRS employee and has spoken to
@call ME damo about this issue only to tell him that the problem was either on Damo's end or Microsoft's. But seeing that this issue does not affect Damo alone clearly shows that this is not in fact, a specific issue that occurs to a single person.
We are unsure if this will ever get fixed and some even have lost hope and nobody can blame them. I personally bought an X1 for this game and it is a damn shame that I don't even get to play it.
TL;DR - Watch this video
PS: I request to the mods for this thread to not be merged with the "Connecting to Online Issues" thread as it is too clustered and dated. I want this thread to be a clean restart with a clear description of the problem as well as to show the collective effort that many put on to try and find a solution to this problem.
