Rat and/or Client Name Not Showing on Comms Panel or Comms not Being Sent/Received | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Step | Possible Causes | What to Confirm | Possible Solution |
| 1 | Rat or client XBL profile is set to "Appear Offline" | All XBL profiles are set to "Appear Online" | Set XBL profiles to "Appear Online" |
| 2 | Online Safety and Privacy settings prevent multiplayer gaming | Account Settings > Online Safety and Privacy Settings are Set to Adult Default | Client changes Online Safety and Privacy Setting to Adult Default. Client can change the settings back after the rescue if they're concerned about security/privacy. It's critical that this is set correctly, even just "hiding friends" is known to cause issues with the comms panel. A full reboot of the Xbox may be required for the change to be reflected (including pulling the power cord from the Xbox) |

| NAT Type | Network Settings > Network, NAT Type is Open | Client and/or rats with moderate/strict NAT Type hard reboot their Xbox including pulling the cord for 10 seconds |
Client and/or rats reconfigure their router for port forwarding or place the Xbox in the DMZ http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_support/networking-hardware/default.aspx | |||
| Confirm that no other Xbox’s are connected to the Network and reboot the Client or Rat’s Xbox | |||
| 34 | Miscellaneous | In game text comms work | Rat invites client to wing (i.e. reverse wing) |
| Rat jumps to another system or drop to normal space and back to supercruise | |||
| Have the client SC Hop and attempt to wing from local. If that doesn’t work have the Rat follow the client and drop manually on their low wake | |||
