Chat issue between MSStore users

[Jul20075873]

GAME INFORMATION

^{These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed.}

• GAME BUILD #: current and a bunch of patches before
• GAME PLATFORM: Microsoft Store
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11/10

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.} if two xbox/msstore users are ingame they cannot see eachother’s chat. 1v1 aswell as TGs and lobby games. Really annoying if you pause and cannot ask to unpause or if you have a second xbox player on your team.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

^{How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!}

• 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

############ STEPS

^{List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!}

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Have two xbox players in a game (and maybe a steam player to spectate to confirm)
2. Try to chat and look if the other player recieves the message

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}
The steam players see all messages while the xbox players only see their own and steam player’s messages but NOT the other xbox player’s

IMAGE

^{ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.}
I cannot really picture it besides both players desperately trying to contact the other to unpause finally

GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

^{Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.}
Recordings do not really show anything here either

I can confirm as above, it happens to me as well. Cannot see chat and flares from another Xbox player (both as opponent or teammate)

Can confirm, Jul and I cannot see each other’s messages in lobby or game. This is happening on the current patch, as well as previous patches.
