"Connection Interrupted" Can't play coop w/ friend

Hello,

So I am trying to play coop with my friend and we were able to play and finish Halo Reach with no issues, but as we tried to move onto Halo CE, we get a “connection interrupted” message over and over again anytime we try to play coop.

I’ve read threads on how to fix it and tried to do all recommended steps (tried port forwarding, disabled AV/firewall, preloaded game before joining, had my friend host instead of me, had friend disable AV/firewall, restart my computer, uninstall my VPN)

We both have the Microsoft store version of the game and find each other through the in-game menu.

Nothing seems to work. The same thing happens, when loading the first mission I get a completely black screen with just the halo mouse cursor, my friends game goes straight to the loading screen and loads to a specific point and then gets kicked. As soon as he gets kicked and gets the connection interrupted message my game starts the loading screen and loads.

Anyone run into this issue and fixed it? Looking for more suggestions of fixes to try.

No one else has this issue?

i have this same issue. i have a friend who lives in the US and i live in Australia. We can play Reach and 3 just fine but CE and 2 are very screwy. can play multiplayer though so that’s a plus.

Were you able to resolve it or get it working? Same thing here, reach works and multiplayer (haven’t tried Halo 3 yet). Tried about 15 troubleshooting suggestions so far and was on the phone with microsoft support for 2 hours last night.

A game like this shouldn’t be this hard to just work…
