Plagued by disconnect: 0x21002001

[Kaiser_G.Saw]

Hello,

I am bothered by my constant disconnecting with the errorcode 0x21002001, from what i get out of it, it has something to do with me using a w-lan connection and it being a heavy issue on PS4/Xbox launch... wich is not that helpfull? :/

Honestly its not realy fun and the way this error shows is the following: when i begin to play Red Dead Online, these disconnects usualy happen in the first 20-30 minutes and that only twice or thrice otherwise but rarly more before i can play HOURS on end without issues.
Now the irritating core of my problem is: As i do disconnect in Red Dead, somewhere it fcks with my system and other software like TeamSpeak, as an example, will also get disconnected. When this happens i have to shut off the affected applycations completly before i can successfully attempt to reconnect online with them (not every programm has these issues, but its always the same programms so props a driver clash?) and Red Dead Redemption is one of them. Adding to this: Sometimes while then restarting Red dead i get issues while reconnecting with Rockstar as a whole like the Launcher being launched in offline modus or entirely forgetting to auto log in me via my linked steam account.

With all this, it is tedious sitting minutes in between the loading and connecting screens before i can, without a bother, begin to play the game online. So is the there a way to fix this that does not involve me having to either drill through my wall or lay a 20 meter lan cable towards my router to get this working? :/

Though its not entirely bound to only the beginning anymore, as recently(like a few days now) 0x21002001 started to crop up mid sessions aswell. This gets annoying as i only play with friends and being kicked only to be able to reconnect to them while already being in a freeroam lobby is annoying since i otherwise get random disconnects via the rockstar launcher invite or the "join your posse" option ingame. Sitting in 3 LONG connecting screens just robs the fun each time that sh!t happens and i´ve grown tired of it now.. and. i am a patient dude dealing with this since the steam launch...

And i am positivly sure the issue IS Red dead since GTAV and other games do not behaive like this. My PC is also a new build with a fresh Win10pro install and an ASUS PCE-AC55BT B1 Wifi adapter on the (now) newest drivers. Though that update sorted out atleast MASSIVE connectivity issue with a wireless Xbox one controller that also was ONLY in Red Dead...

Thanks for any infos i can get as i´m not realy that tech saviory, gotta mention that I allowed Red dead everything in my firewall and my router has an automatic port forwarding wich usualy lets me have my peace not needing to deal with anything port related.

i found this on reddit, it's no real help but it may be a possibility of why it happens.

"My 2 cents in this is that GTA online had the same problem. Im pretty sure both GTA online and RDR2 have a peer 2 peer connection. That is, you only talk to a rockstar server when using cash/gold, or when recieving mission rewards, etc. Yet for gameplay you just talk with the other players through peer2peer on your session. Problem is most players are not from the US, so ping and packet loss gets worse when lots of people on your session have spotty internet. What happened then in GTA online? yeah well you just got disconnected from those players and found yourself in a solo session, The thing is that RD online has several freeroam missions that can be farmed easily if you are in a solo session since the idea of them is for others to try to steal them from you. Since lots of people "abused of the connection system on GTA online" (rockstars didnt like it that people made solo sessions) they upped the threshold on disconnections and didnt implement a solo session, meaning that if your peers on the session lost connection with you, you are going back to menu. Thats why rockstars is so defensive and telling people that its the users problem and not theirs, because they dont wont people abusing solo sessions.

Again, this is my 2 cents on the problem."

and the only "fix" i have seen is to open your ports or contact your ISP to do it for you..
