MCLG-249Only two of three friends able to join together in multiplayer campaign
We have three Xboxes in our house (2x Series S and 1x Series X). We attempted to play a multiplayer campaign together, however only one player can connect to the host, the next (third) player gets a "Disconnected. Connection timed out" error box.
There are no network connection issues reported on any of the Xboxes and other multiplayer games work without problems. I notice other gamers reporting the same issue on Reddit.
This description should be self explanatory, but here's a video capture of the problem. If there is only the host in the game, then it connects just fine.

Regarding MCLG-249: It seems to be affecting the Xbox Series X. May be updated as "Multiple" platforms.
In MCLG-249 I was asked about my Xbox port and router configuration. Everything is default on the Xbox and the router supports upnp. Since this bug reports the same issue with Xbox in different locations, and we do not have connection issues in other games (Minecraft, Deep Rock Galactic, Mechwarrior 5, to name a few locally hosted games), is there any merit to me messing about with alternate ports and the like?
With so many xboxes in the same household, do you have alternate ports selected for the other xboxes? Do the network tests on all xboxes show open / moderate or closed? Did you manually portforward these ports (in the router)? Or have UPNP / "automatic portforwarding" in the router enabled.
To select alternate ports on Xbox go to: Settings -> Network settings -> Advanced Settings -> Alternate port selection -> manual -> select a not already used port from the list.
If non of this is works, please supply more information about your network setup.
Keep in mind that most Minecraft games use direct connections and don't rely on an external server to host the game.
Plus, duplicated of
MCLG-97I have three people, each with an Xbox Series X, and all three of us cannot join the same game together. We are in three separate households. We have validated that we are on Open NAT on all of our networks. We have also validated that it is not just one of us; each of us can join the other as long as it's just two of us. The third, regardless of who it is, cannot join and gets a Connection Timeout error when trying to join.
If you need more information, please let me know. Would really like to get this issue resolved.
Thank you for your report!
