The title displays an incorrect error message coupled with incorrect functionality.	Critical (12)	XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows
Allowing or blocking a specific method of communication does not correctly allow or block the use of that method.	Critical (12)	XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows
No current scenario.	Catastrophic (22)

In-title friend requests/clan invites do not count as communication and are not required to be blocked by the privilege.

015-02 Muting support

Scenario	Severity	Platform
No current scenario.	Not Relevant (-4)
No current scenario.	Very Minor (1)
No current scenario.	Minor (2)
No current scenario.	Moderate (6)
The title unmutes an XBOX network user that was muted after proceeding into active gameplay.	Critical (12)	XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows
The title does not mute voice communication from a muted XBOX network user.	Critical (12)	XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows
No current scenario.	Catastrophic (22)

Notes

Applies only to users within the XBOX network.
The title does not need to offer an in-game method of muting a user. This XR is to test the system implementation (Friends list/gamercard/Gamebar). If the in-title mute button does not function, this is logged under XR003 Title Integrity and does not fall under the scope of this test case.
Muting or unmuting a user may not be instantaneous. Muting or unmuting a user may take up to 4 hours to come into effect. If communications relating to a muted user do not behave as expected, please ensure that at least 4 hours have passed and that the title has been restarted.
Permissions checks are generally performed upon entering a lobby, so muting while in a lobby is not expected to have any immediate effect, regardless of waiting 4 hours.
Suggested probability of 4. Increase/decrease where it is felt appropriate to do so (e.g. depending on game area/mode)
