Yesterday, we reported on a growing issue of Xbox Insiders in the Preview Alpha ring which prevented many from playing online multiplayer games. The issue appeared to affect Destiny in particular, however, reports came in of general online connectivity being affected also.

Now, Brad Rossetti of the Xbox Insider team, has took to Twitter to announce that a brawl is taking place over the issue at Microsoft’s Redmond campus:

Xbox One Insiders – Preview Alpha users – we have a fix for the MP issues. Fighting internally to verify, fix incoming this week ASAP.

We are not sure if any fixes have been injured during this fight – but we’ve reached out to Microsoft to confirm. In the meantime, Xbox’s engineering team are currently flighting (or “fighting”) a fix internally to ensure it resolves the issue. If it does, it will be rolled out as soon as possible “this week.”

Let us know in the comments below if you’ve been affected by this issue.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
