Unable to play, Connection with the host has been lost

Question

Every server I try and join gives me the same message, was playing yesterday but couldn't connect to usual server, today I can't connect to any. 

Tried hard reset and reinstalling the game.

Is this a known issue atm? 

 

Edited to provide more info*

- This happens on every server I've tried, region isnt a factor as I've tried them all

- I'm fully updated both game wise and xbox system, and have reinstalled the game and hard reset the console 

- I was playing without issue 48hrs before OP on multiple servers, multiple regions 

- the error in question is "Connection to host has been lost" 

- tried joining via a friend invite, same issue

***have now been unable to play for almost 5 days with no change***

1. Make sure you're running the lastest version of Dayz and that you have an active Xbox Live Gold Subscription 2. Check your NAT type. It should be open. 3. Hard reset your Xbox One and router 4. Make sure you connect to servers that are appropriate for your geographic location eg. UK should connect to NL which is Netherlands. 5. Uninstall and reinstall the game. 6. Make sure your Xbox's system software is up to date 7. If all else fails, look into Port Fowarding your Xbox and respective games. Youtube has fantastic tutorials on how to Port Foward. It is a little technical and tedious but it always has solved any connection issues i have had. 8 pray to the Dayz gods to allow passage into their realms ;)

Thanks for your response.

The only thing I haven't tried is checking my ports, I was playing couple days before the OP with no problem and have made no changes to my router configuration since then so there shouldn't be an issue there, but I will check when I'm home from work tonight.

Xbox network test returns open Nat and 150-180Mb/s.

Not had any connection issues with other games or apps either
