Change Party and Multiplayer Settings

When it comes to multiplayer bugs, the solution is oftentimes found in the multiplayer settings.

• Change your Party type from private to public or vice versa.
  • Party Icon > Settings > Change Status of Party Privacy.
• Turn Crossplay On.
  • Settings > Privacy > Enable Crossplay.
