Hi Will,

We appreciate that you were able to perform some steps to resolve the issue. If you are experiencing issues with party chats on Windows 10, it can be caused by several reasons. It can be an issue with the profile and network settings on your end or the one
who sends you an invite. Both of your settings should meet the requirements to join party chats on Xbox live.

We have solutions below that can help you resolve the issue. These troubleshooting steps should be done on your computer and your friend's computer. Before we start, please make sure to check your NAT Type first.

• Click the Start icon and open the Xbox app.
• Select Settings > Network.
• Under Network status, check the NAT type.

Once you got the result, please refer to this
link and perform the suggested solutions on your computer and your friend's computer. Follow the steps in order to get more accurate results.

We also recommend that you check your privacy and online safety settings on Xbox.com to ensure that your profiles are allowed to join multiplayer games and parties.

We will appreciate if you can update us the results so if these solutions won't work, we will find another way to resolve your concern.

Hi Savoy,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will be glad to assist you with the Issue.

Before we proceed, we would require more information to assist you further.

1. What happens when you try to play the game?

2. Is this issue persists with this particular game?

3. Do you receive any error code or message while playing the game?

Lets try the following steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Step 1: First, I would suggest you to check if you are able to run the game by increasing hardware acceleration.

To increase Hardware Acceleration follow the steps below:

• 1. Open Display Settings by clicking the
  Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking
  Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking
  Display Settings.
• 2. Click Advanced Settings, click the
  Troubleshoot tab, and then click Change settings. Note that some video card drivers do not permit you to change settings.
• 3. Move the Hardware acceleration slider to increase it.

Also, check if the game is compatible with the Windows 10 Operating system by visiting the following link:

Explore Windows 10 OS, Computers, Apps & More | Microsoft

Step 2: I would suggest you to update your graphic card drivers and check if it helps.

You can update drivers from the Device Manager.

• • 
    Right click on start button and click on Device manager.
    
  • 
    Select Display Drivers.
    
  • 
    Right click on the Display drivers and select Properties
    
  • 
    Click on the device tab and select Update driver.
    

Also try to install the latest drivers from the Game Manufacturer Website and check if the issue persists.

Try the above step and let us know if it helps. For further assistance feel free to post your queries in Microsoft forums. We will be glad to assist you.
