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 | Client and rat have not sent each other friend requests | Confirm that client and Rat have each sent friend requests and the Rat has the client as a Favorite | Client changes friendship status of the Rat to “Favorite” |
| Jump to another system | |||
| Client and rat(s) quit the game to the dashboard and load back into the game | |||
| 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) |
| 3
| 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 | |||
| If NAT type can't be corrected, have the client submit a support ticket to FDev explaining the situation. They will generally fuel the client if we're unsuccessful due to problems outside our control. | |||
| 4 | Geographic | Geographic location of client and rat(s) are compatible (i.e. US/US, EU/US) | Reschedule the drill and attempt with different rats from the same region |
| 35 | 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 | |||
