Endless connecting screen Xbox one

Hello @Ben_smith944, welcome to the forums. Refer to the following reply the devs made in this thread:

 concerning possibly the same issue you are experiencing. Provide the requested information so Klei may be able to diagnose, isolate and hopefully fix the issue for everyone who are having issues.

Thank you very much for your report.  We have submitted a patch for Xbox One that should fix the issue and are waiting for it to be approved/certified by Microsoft. The patch should roll out for the game in the very near future barring any delays in the Microsoft certification process. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience.

I am experiencing this same issue. I am able to play other multiplayer games, but not this one. It worked for a couple of days after purchase, but I haven't been able to connect to another game or have someone connect to my hosted game in the past three days.
