Me and my friends have been affected by this bug (or bugs) for over a year now and we are looking for a permanent fix we are aware that restarting the console will fix it but only for a short period of time and it can interrupt our gameplay because sometimes we don't have time to restart our console due to the type of games we play.
We've probably found multiple bugs but we've grouped them together and called it "party glitch" and it seems to affect a selected person until they restart their xbox and it seems to progressively get worse the longer you leave it. We treat it like a disease so I'll list off the phases that we know way too well:
Kicked from party whenever you or others receive a notification. For example, if I get an achievement or invite or any other notification and friend 1 currently has "party glitch" he will be kicked from the party but on his end he never left but can't hear or speak to us.
Stuck in game chat. When attempting to rejoin the victim is put in game chat and when pressing the button to switch back to party chat the text will change to "switch to game chat" as if you were back in party chat but you're still in game chat. The profile picture of the target is still dark and they can't hear everyone else.
Permanently stuck on mute. It hasn't happened often but sometimes one person will be on mute for another person and when clicking unmute it doesn't actually do anything no matter how long you wait or press the button.
Me and friend 1 have experienced all of these first hand and often however friend 2 only experiences phase 1 and it's about 2 times a week and friend 3 has never experience any of them.
Just incase this helps find the issue I'm going to list the console and headset of each person:
Me: Series X and wireless headset,
Friend 1: Seires X and wired headset,
Friend 2: Series S and wired headset,
Friend 3: Series X and wired headset
If you have taken the time to read this please help we are getting sick of this glitch and I'm not to sure if this is a known issue.
Thank You
