Key notes
Even though it doesn’t look like that on the first impression,Xbox Liveis mostly performing as intended.
There are individualerrorsthat are concerning individual users, but we can rarely encounter thewidespread errorsthat affect the massive player base.
That’s, sadly, not the case for the one error with the4220code.
Thiserroroccurs mostly on Xbox One and it’s seemingly centralized aroundCall of Duty WW2.
Namely, this exacterrorprevents access to the multiplayer mode of the AAA Activision’s first-person shooter placed in the WW2 scenery.
This, of course, doesn’t mean that thiserroris CoD exclusive since some other games might be affected, as well.
If you’re having a hard time dealing with thiserror, make sure to check the solutions we provided below.
How do I address Xbox Live error with the code 4220?
1: Restart the console
This error code can seemingly point towards different issues. But, after the deeper insight on user reports, we can conclude that the most common solution is as simple as they come.
Namely, a lot of users managed to address the issue by simply restarting the console. After the restart, they were able to access the multiplayer modes without in a seamless manner.
So, make sure to restart your console as the first step.
On the contrary, if the issue is still persistent or you’re seeing a different error code after the restart, make sure to check the additional steps provided below.
2: Check the connection
The next step concerns the connection. Most of theXbox Liveerrors are caused by either the in-game bug or a faulty connection.
And since thiserrorappears exclusively with the multiplayer mode (especially Call of Duty WW2), we can safely recommend checking your connectivity and moving from there.
If you’re not sure where to look, follow these instructions:
3: Log in, log out and try again
No matter how deepXbox Livegoes errors-wise, here’s another rather simple step to address the 4220 error.
Namely, a substantial number of gamers successfully resolved theerrorat hand by simply logging out and logging back on theirXbox Liveaccount.
For some peculiar reason, theerrorwas resolved and they managed to access the multiplayer with ease.
Here’s how to do this in a few steps:
4: Open NAT
Another important option that isn’t set to Open on default and therefore might cause connectivity issues is Network Address Translation or shorter NAT.
The NAT has 4 different types, starting with Unavailable NAT (ultra-strict) and ending with Open NAT type which is the preferred option for online gaming.
If you’re not sure how to enable it on your Xbox One, make sure to check the steps below:
5: Update the game
As we already stated, thiserroris commonly appearing in Call of Duty WW2, which means that, besides the other issues, we have good reason to believe that the game itself is at the core of the problem.
For the sake of improving the content, optimizing the in-game experience, and fixing bugs, Activision will commonly provide updates.
And there’s a good chance that, by updating, you’ll be able to overcome the 4220 error.
Now, even though both game and system updates are distributed automatically, you can check for the updates by hand. Here’s how to do it:
6: Reinstall the game
Finally, if none of the available solutions fits the bill, you can always reinstall the game. This is a long shot, but it’s still better than doing nothing, especially if theerroris persistent.
We can’t advise you to do this if your bandwidth is slow since the affected games are mostly large chunks of data and it can take for ages.
On the other hand, if you can manage it, make sure to follow these steps in order to reinstall the game on Xbox One:
That should do it. If you’re still experiencing issues, make sure to send a ticket to the game developer.
