Chat with moderate NAT

Shotxterrylyon · Apr 17, 2017

Since update on 11 April my NAT type has been moderate and I have difficulty joining parties. One of my main gamer friends also has NAT type moderate and I can't chat to him at all. Any suggestions?

:)

Weird issue with mic

Sounds like NAT or network issues. Sometimes when two people have a certain network config you can play and chat with other people just fine, but not someone else with your same issue.

My wife and I used to have a similar issue with chat in OG Destiny. Check your NAT and make sure it is open not moderate or strict.

Party Chat issues strike again

How NAT works is if your NAT is set to open, you can communicate with other open, moderate, or strict NATs. If it's moderate, you can the other person's NAT must be moderate or open. If it's set to Strict you can party chat with other people who have only
an open NAT.

Hey there Shotxterrylyon,

You'll want to work on getting that NAT to Open up. This guide
HERE will help you get it to an Open status.

Sounds like it might be a NAT issue

OPEN NAT MODERATE NAT STRICT NAT

With an OPEN NAT type, you’re able to chat with other people, as well as join and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.

With a MODERATE NAT type, you’re able to chat and play multiplayer games with some people; however, you might not be able to hear or play with others, and normally you won’t be chosen as the host of a match.

With a STRICT NAT type, you’re only able to chat and play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can’t be chosen as the host of a match.
