Game Collector

My family was having similar problems (hard to start a game, immediate disconnects, occassionally running before disconnecting) trying to play together on a wireless local network. We were so frustrated we were about to try returning the game on steam, but some networking changes to get UPnP working solved our connection problems. First, you should know that the XBOX Console Companion app for Windows will still report everything is ok for network connections even if you are having this problem. The resolution required making sure that on each Windows machine the wireless network we were using was configured as private, and confirming that network discovery was enabled for private networks. If you have both a 2 G and 5 G network and your laptops might switch between networks, make sure both are configured as private networks to allow discovery. This change completely solved our Grounded problems and we have been having a great time playing it now. Here are two articles that I found helpful: https://nordvpn.com/blog/how-to-change-nat-type-pc/ https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-enable-upnp/da062bae-af34-496a-8704-1e460358c611
