866Hours of game time and suddenly

[FormidableEntity]

866 hours of game time and suddenly my NAT type is too strict and I can't play the game anymore.

I am playing on Moderate NAT type and has always been fine till a few days ago.
What has destiny decided to change again? -.-

Every other online game is fine, but Destiny, so my question is "WHY"?

Hi there!

If your NAT has changed suddenly, this normally indicates that your network configuration has changed.

For more information, please review the below Help article.

Nothing new there.

Try doing a reset on your router, might help.

As Dante said, something changed your NAT type, so you have to change it back.

I have tried it mate, no joy.

Only happens with Destiny, no changes in NAT type. - as I said every other online game is not effected.
I'm blaming D2 and its updates. - tried steam and checking the file integrity too.

Bought a new router yesterday so that I can forward ports only if necessary. - Don't really want to.

I appreciate you suggesting anyways

Yeah, i understand... my brother also had issues with the game after an update, he quit and gave the game a bad review. Came back later, like 1 year, and the game was working again. I got him into D2 and the second time he returned was me offering him the 2 previous expansions, since he was very casual at the time. His problem back then was him getting constant random errors and being kicked into orbit/log in screen. He could play 15 minutes at best, at times.

With this in mind, you are likely screwed, unless you mess around with your internet settings. The devs catching the issue and potentially fixing it, could take months. Bungie works at snails pace when it comes to patching things, so that only makes things worst.

I do understand that you’re not necessarily thrilled about this answer.

NAT issues are not something that are controlled by Bungie. NAT is an issue that can only be addressed at the local networking level. I know this from personal experiences.

On numerous occasions, my NAT has changed, on its own, from Open to either Moderate or Strict. After performing some checks, I have found that it was either my router not assigning my assigned IP to my computer or my router simply needed to be rebooted.

Networking issues can appear at random and can come at oddly convenient times. I can only advise that you check out the Port Forwarding section of the Network Troubleshooting Guide and try the steps provided in that section.

There are also resources available online that can help you determine the steps you need to properly port forward, if you wish to do so.

I get the nat issue time to time but usually fixes itself without me doing anything.

- God, I thought that I was the only one who experienced the same issue. I had exactly the same issues as your brother when I initially started playing D2, so I can totally relate.
You right about them working at snails pace haha, although they are quick at talking your money, ain't they? :D

Let's hope that there's a fix in place soon, as I've just spent £100 on a new router because of this (also I needed an upgrade, I wouldn't buy it because of D2 alone.).

Yep same, in like a few months or so .....

I recent firmware update to my router restricted all my movie servers and addons from connecting and allowing me to save hundreds of dollars by not going to an overpriced movie theater, watching "woke" talentless left wing actors make racist jokes about white people.

THEN SUDDENLY !!

I got another firmware update yesterday and my router settings were updated, defaulted and one of the very line items listed as a fix was "accidentally preventing some external websites from being connected, filtered out or blocked as intrusions."

I am free from the tyranny of Pedowood, California once again. They'll never get another dime from me.

Also, something changed in your router settings.
