Timeout arena ban on switch for young treelett

So tonight's story starts with me settling down on the couch to play Apex on my xbox with youngtreelett on the switch next to me. Fun times ahead as she is getting to like arenas and adores valkyrie....

Dam OTC, sorry to hear that. Today my son and I tried to play some Arenas also, we are both on the same internet as well, we got a "connectivity issue" pop up and both got kicked. Also, we were on a time out. Was very frustrating. So we played some Ghost of Tsushima Legends and we had much more fun than we have had lately playing Apex.   : )

Hey all, if your network is not set up correctly then you can run into all kinds of issues when two people are trying to play together or in the same game on the same network.

Can you check your Nat type is set to open. I would also suggest ensuring that you are all on the same internet protocol. For example, if you are on IPv4 and the other is on IPv6 then you can have issues.

If it's still not fixed and the issues continue to pop up then can you try the following:

  • Log into your modem / router
  • Turn OFF UPNP.Turn off PC UPnP Service:Press: Windows-button a window should pop up. Write: “services.msc” (without the “) then press enter
  • In the list of services, scroll down to “UPnP Device Host”, click it and press “Stop service”. Now do the same thing but with the service “SSDP Discovery”.Exit the window and go to control panel-> Network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Centre-> Change advanced sharing settings (to the left)-> Under “network discovery” select to turn off network discovery
  • Save your changes

Still not working after this? Can you go ahead and on your console manually set your DNS so that it uses the Google DNS settings. You need to set them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Let me know how you get on.

    @EA_Darko there's been no problems recently while playing and its not the first time ytl and I have played apex togeather on the same WiFi.

    In fact yt, ytl and I have played both apex and fortnite all on the same WiFi with no issues, that would be an xbox, a switch and a pc all on the same WiFi.

    Nothing wrong with my WiFi or its setup,. It's a repeat of the server issue.

      I'm checking the server status for the time before, around, and after you posted and not seeing any issues.

      Just because it has worked in the past does not mean that it is not a network or ISP-based issue.

      Your router updating can result in changes being made to it or settings being changed.

      I'm only trying to help you get to the bottom of the issue you are seeing.
