more info needed Joining Friends Online Game Issue

[Eastham92]

Hi,

 

Me and my friends are trying to play FM xbox edition, I am on PC and they're all on xbox. I was able to join the game for the very first time but since it does not show up in the server list, accepting game invites and pressing 'join game' on their profile is not working either. I have tried a few things online to try fix the issue but nothing seems to work. Is there a known workaround for this? The work around I have seen doesn't seem to work when doing cross-play.

 

Thanks

Is there any update on this? I only purchased the game to play with my friends and as this is impossible it feels like a bit of a waste of money at the moment...

Hi @Eastham92, sorry for the delays in getting back to you. Could it be possible that the host may have accidentally banned you from the lobby? Out of curiosity, if you were to host a session online, are they able to join  your session? Thanks.

Hi, no this is not the case. The game eventually showed up after maybe 45 minutes of trying. I have tried hosting a game and they can join fine. If I accept invites on windows via the xbox companion the game will start up but it will not join the game. This morning I am now not seeing any online servers.

 

Edit: My game required the update to show online servers, however still can't see my friends game.
