Hey there. Thanks for reaching out. Let's see if a quick power cycle of your equipment will help. Please try these steps:
- Unplug your modem/router for 2 minutes
- Hard restart your console by holding down the power button until it turns off
- Power it all up and try playing again
You also may want to clear the alternate MAC address.
- Go to your Xbox Settings
- Go to "Network", then "Advanced Network Settings"
- Click on "Alternate MAC Address", and then click "Clear"
Let me know how it goes. Thanks!- SleepyViking32122 hours agoRising Novice
Unfortunately neither one worked.

Thanks for trying. As a test, can you switch your connection to use a mobile hotspot? I just want to see if you can connect on a completely different connection.

I was surprised to see that this worked. However, I am now confused about why my network is causing an issue, as I have not had any problems with multiplayer connections in other games.

We're getting somewhere! This means the issue is with your home network or ISP. Check the NAT setting for me. You can find that in the network settings screen on your XBOX.
Also, something else you can try is deleting the local saved games. Those instructions can be found in this article. I'm still leaning towards being an issue with your network/ISP though.

My NAT is open, so I am thinking that it might be something else? If I delete the local saved games, will I lose in-game progress? I would very much prefer to avoid that at all costs, if possible.

You won't lose any in game progress. That should all be stored on the cloud anyway.
Did you happen to change anything with your modem/router recently? Make sure the firmware is up to date.
Also, go back to the network settings on your console and tell me if it's using IPv4 or IPv6. It may say both. If possible, go into your modem/router and disable IPv6 so only IPv4 is used.
