    Ok I did a test on all my Microsoft games (XBox from the app store).  I have five.  Four work fine.  Bingo will not connect to server.  As the Mahjong and Solitaire and Taptiles and Monsters love Candy all connect to the server just fine, I am going to assume that the bingo game server has the issues and not Xbox servers in general.  I may be way off base here.  Still hoping they get it up and running soon.  Yeah I have no life lol.

    I am still having the same issue after i completed all of the steps above, as well as the other two exact questions sent in. Still saying can not connect to server.

    You are not alone.  I can't connect either.   So Microsoft did something.  Hoping for a fix soon!

    Hi Catrinka,

    • Are you using Internet Explorer or any third party Internet broweser to play the games?

    If you are using Internet Explorer, you may optimize Internet Explorer settings on your computer and check if it works fine.Access the link below and follow the steps to optimize Internet Explorer.
