Can't connect to other players.(My NAT is OPEN)

RTD xXMikeyXx · Jan 3, 2014

Hello, I started a conversation with support, but did not have time to stay on my PC. No matter what game I try to play I have trouble connecting to people, but NAT is open and don't see what else could be the problem. On Ryse and Halo Spartan **** it just
does not find other players, and on Dead Rising 3 it always says "Other player has disconnected," and Battlefield 4 say I lost connection to the EA servers, but I know EA has been having problems with Battlefield.

:)

Connection help

Since you've got Halo 4, chuck it in and let it tell you what your NAT type is. If it's Open, you shouldn't have any problems (though you can actually have a few problems). If it's Moderate you can only connect to other Moderate or Open players and Strict
NAT players can only connect to Open NAT players.

.

If your NAT type is Open, tell them to check theirs. If it isn't, look into opening yours, it really does help.

Xbox one says my nats open, but games says its not.

Yo I think I got the same problem, but with Fifa 14. Problem is I can't check the NAT type on there to see I have strict nat in-game. I got open nat on the dashboard and I have open pots and all that stuff. I even bought a new router and set it up and
I still can't connect to other players.

@taidara:

yes I read it and it´s proofed. For example:4 players me (open NAT) 1 player host also open NAT. 2. player moderate NAT and third player strict NAT. So the moderate and strict can´t connect to each other. It means that I co host the session. If a packet
goes from player 2 to player 3 it goes to my router and get forwarded. These are the sessions I see. The problem is: This is a slowdown of my connection. So if I there are many strict NAT´s and some moderate NAT´s the open NAT has to co host the session. And
if there are game mechanics like lag compensation all goes wrong because player 2 and 3 in my example can´t connect the direct way to each other they connect to another open NAT and the open NAT owner gets penalized. I don´t know if it increases latency -
but I think so.

So for me it´s clear - for Gaming a moderate NAT is MUCH MUCH better than an open NAT. The only Problem is: I need an open NAT because of some partys I can´t join

xbox live parties should connect to another port - so I can forward the party port and not the gaming port - but that will never happen.

Do these other players have strict NAT, or moderate? While Open NAT should be able to connect with everyone, sometimes the connection isn't made as easily with a user with Strict NAT.
