Still not working. Any one with same problem?

Had also the case due to firewall reasons.

Try to disable things in Windows advanced firewall settings, like ā€˜inbound rulesā€™. (allow all inbound entries)

Of course, put them back how they were after the game.

Thanks Danicela,
Do you know protocols and executable to allow?
Regards?

I spent about three hours tonight trying to get a lan game going. First it was grayed out, then there were never any games in the lobby. About ready to go back to the old version. This is nuts.

We both canā€™t find each otherā€™s games online , I can see different games to what he can see and when I create a game it makes it in the North Korea server. When I try to join his game through xbox companion it says I need to download an application and it takes me to the age of empires page on the store , then when we try it on lan we can see eachothers games but when we try to join it says ā€œunable to connect ā€œ

Are you both on the same game version?

What happens if you select a different server for your lobby? Also, when you create a server, is your friend searching in the region you created?

It doesnā€™t matter what region I select it puts me in a random one anyways and yeah he is
