My game is searching…finding players and then searching again and again and again…cant play any type of game…live in Quebec Canada…what the hec is that?
Working fine here bro just played 12 hrs ago back to back matches. SWAT, BTB, Halo 4, Team Slayer, Team Snipers were all working for me. Try team slayer, SWAT or Halo 4 since those two lobbies always have more players. Also try the following which is usually recommended by other people in threads:
- Restart the game by quitting from the dashboard and run it again. (if this doesnt work then try #2)
- Before trying to join a matchmaking lobby start a “Custom game” and just quit and then try joining a lobby. (if this doesnt work then try #3)
- Unplug the wire from your brick that goes to the power socket, plug it back in after 10 sec then power up the console and start the game. (if this doesnt work then try #4)
- Reset the console which can be done by pressing and holding the console power button for a few seconds till it turns off itself. You may combine the other methods mentioned above.
I dont think I need to say that make sure your NAT is open. I prefer to have the ports forwarded manually as mentioned on xbox’s website rather than having the DMZ option enabled. Make sure you are connected to the internet via LAN cable rather than wifi.
When your in a playlist it usually searches for players and says “Players found” in the first 10 seconds followed by “Connecting session”. If after players found it does not connect you to a session and rather keeps searching for player or for more players then back out and retry.Only sometimes this happens to me due to my internet timing out in which case I have to reset the routers while on other occasions I start a custom game and quit and then retry.
Hope this helps!
