So I just bought a xbox one s and went to play black ops 4 and my party chat was very crackly and then it eventually kicked me. After looking into it some more I saw that my UPnp said unsucessful. I then looked into how to fix it and found out that my internet provider (AT&T) doesnt support UPnp. But on my last xbox one the chat worked fine. What changed with the xbox’s that screwed this up and how can i fix it?? Thanks!
