Xbox I had a bug with My friend, please help

[Ryz3]

So My friend he joins the game and he Goes back to the menu every 2 ingame days, it depends, and i have to keep inviting him back everytime, everytime he Goes back to the menu it appears the message: the server closed the connection, something like that, but i didn't quit the game, im still in the world (im the host), and in fall year 2, he goes back to the menu as usual but then i cant invite him back and it appears in his screen connection failed when he tries to join, i have to restart the game everytime, like go back to the menu of the game and enter again then invite him, so yeah, thats it (ps: also, i forgot to mention, before the 1.6 update acording to him he didn't crash, this only started happening after the 1.6 update)

It sounds like you are playing on two different XBox systems, are you playing over the internet or on the same WiFi/LAN?

No, me and My friend play on different wi-fi, we dont play split screen, and oh, i forgot one thing, i play on the Xbox series s and My friend plays on the Xbox one, but i dont know if that is relevant

Series S vs XBox One shouldn't matter, they're both the same "platform" as long as it's the same game. The only games that would matter for that are Series X|S exclusives, but for those you can't play them on the XBox One at all. (They're both basically PCs actually, the Series X|S is just a more powerful PC so it plays the same games better, and the X|S exclusive games are exclusive because they require a beefier system than the XBox One / OneX|S.... Thanks for the super intuitive product naming, Microsoft! /s)

If you're on different networks it's probably a network performance issue, specifically your NAT type. If you have access to your wireless router's management page (the admin login) you may be able to improve performance by enabling UPnP or NAT-PMP on both systems. UPnP (Universal Plug-n-Play) allows devices (the XBoxes) to create dynamic NAT rules, which should improve your NAT type to type 2 at least. I personally created NAT-PMP rules for my Nintendo Switches [the only systems I ever really played multiplayer on, I don't really have friends :( ], restricting the rules to those individual Switches (which had static IPs assigned) but that's a more advanced setting that not all routers give you access to.

Do this with caution, UPnP and/or NAT-PMP can be less secure! They aren't inherently insecure, but these settings do allow devices to create dynamic NAT rules so they theoretically could allow stuff through your firewall without you realizing/wanting. Realistically there isn't a huge risk since the device making the rules has to already be on your network, and your other devices (game consoles, PCs, etc) should have basic security of their own, but I personally don't allow UPnP or NAT-PMP for devices like my teenagers' PCs, knowwhatImean?

Oh yes, ok then, im gonna try that out, and My friend sayed he is from series s too, i thought he was from the normal Xbox one, but yeah, im gonna try that out (actually, i dont know How to acess the router management page, do you know how?

How to access the router management page depends on the router. Most of the time you need to open a web browser, while connected to the router, and type in the router's IP address. This will be the default gateway for your device, usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, you would have to check. From there you would need to know the admin username and password for that router. Often you can find the default login by googling the model number + admin login.

From there you would have to look around in the settings, I couldn't tell you exactly where to go because every router's management page is going to be different. This isn't crazy difficult, but it's complicated enough that I couldn't walk you through it in a quick post if you weren't already familiar with some IT basics.
