So this wasn’t a pure LAN Party but I will sometimes have a friend over, he brings his Xbox and we each play on 2 different TV’s side by side. We both connect each Xbox to the router wirelessly, side into our own accounts, and then join parties and play multiplayer games on Xbox live with other random live members.
Now the issue we had was we could not play in the same game. When we joined parties it would not find a game. When one of us joined a game alone and the other joined the game it would kick the original party member out.
Does Halo not allow this? Or was I doing something wrong?
Maybe it’s a problem with how Halo 4 manages packets/IPs from you.
If you are both signed into the router then you both have the same IP and without port forwarding/DMZ one of you may have a poor NAT rating.
Try joining via system link first and test a custom map?
To be honest my understanding of how the internet actually works with gaming and routers is vague so I didn’t truly understand all of what you meant.
But though we didn’t use a system link we could play custom games just not games on live where both of us were in the same room.
I should mention there was a 3rd party member but he was not physically with us he was at his own place. All 3 of us couldn’t get in the same party. If me and the guy at my place were in the same party it wouldn’t let the other guy join. If one of us joined him when the other member at my place joined it would kick the original member at my place out of the party by default.
If that makes sense. Basically it refuses to let me and the guy sharing my router connect in the Xbox Live world, but we would be free to play by ourselves.
I had assumed it was Halo 4 related because we haven’t had this issue when playing other multiplayer games on the same IP but playing with other random Xbox live members. If that makes sense.
