For non-Microsoft games, you will get the most up-to-date and detailed info by checking out support options from the game developer. To resolve your Xbox game issue:
  • Check the Xbox status for any relevant issues. Restart the game, and if that doesn’t resolve the issue power cycle your console.
  • Test your network connection, and then try using a different Xbox profile to launch and play the game

If you’re stuck on the connecting screen, there’s a few things you should try to help!

  • Double check to make sure your date/time are set automatically
  • Scan your computer using Malwarebytes
    • Clear threats, restart PC, relaunch Discord
  • Ensure your firewall settings are allowing Discord to connect
  • Go to your proxy settings, and ensure that no proxies are enabled
    • Windows: Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings – Uncheck “Use a Proxy”
    • Mac: System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies – Make sure you have no Proxies enabled

If you’re still having trouble connecting, press Ctrl+Shift+I (⌥+⌘+I on Mac) and check your console for errors.
