[Network games not working]

I posted this as well

Sucks when you paid for something, but you don’t get to use all the features. At the same time, having an xbox allows me to connect to my friends better. This online feature, I think most people buy it because they wanted an online career with their friends, rather than playing alone.

[Network games not working]

I know that plenty others have reported this issue, but here is mine with a rather comprehensive input.

I am playing on Xbox Series S. My friend is on Xbox One. I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. He has my account, to game share on his Xbox One.

So, I started a new online Career. I simply put in the server name, and open to friends only. No password.

when the game starts, I save it. Then I went to Game Status. Besides the word Manager, it states, (No Network Connection). Again, I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and my Xbox Series S is connected to the internet via LAN. I am 100% sure that I am connected because I bought the digital copy. I wouldn’t be able to boot the game if I wasn’t connected to the internet.

On Actions > Game > add new manager is greyed out. Also, invite friends to game button has never ever appeared on the screen. We are both on the same party and when I tried to invite him to game, the invite to game option is greyed out.

i asked him to search for via server name. Nothing.

i asked him to choose my gamtertag under the created by option. Nothing.

i asked him to search with a blank server name. Nothing.

i also did a blank search, also nothing.

i did multiple restarts for 5 minutes, invite friends button, still hasn’t appeared.

i did quit the game (clicking on quit in context menu), and started the game. Same results.

i restart my xbox series s. Same results.

i turned off xbox completely, same results.

i turn off my my xbox fron the wall socket and turned on my xbox back, same results.

Me too. I’m on 21.3 version. I don’t see invite friend button. Also, it states no network connection, but i am connected to the internet and i do have game pass ultimate.
