Hey guys, I recently had a problem where I could join my friends party's but we couldn't have party chat turned on at the same time. As you could imagine this was very frustrating. So I started messing with settings and what not, troubleshooting, if you will. So I found out a sure way to fix this problem, it has worked with everyone I have told to do it.

1. First You want to go to Settings, check your NAT type, If it's moderate or open then you are good to continue with the process.
2. Now go to the Power and Startup, Go over to Power Mode and turn that on energy saving.

3. Have your friends do the same.

Now there are so pros and also some cons to this method.

Pros-
You can speak to friends over party chat

Cons-
Your system will not update automatically when powered down
Your system will take significantly longer to startup
The "XBOX ON" feature will not work

If any of you still have problems after you try this method, Leave a comment and I'll be more than happy to troubleshoot with you.
