While there are numerous codes you can run into, each one of them has a good chance of being fixed through certain methods.

    If you are one of the players getting errors on their home consoles, such as the PlayStation or Xbox, then there are ways to solve this issue.

It is undetermined why disabling crossplay mode helps with this problem, but we have found some great results by following this step. To turn off crossplay, you must head into the other tab in the options menu and scroll down until you see crossplay.
