Good day Rare,
Since launch I've been running into issues with disconnecting, but it doesn't seem to be entirely game related. I'm just trying to find a solution to my problem or if that isn't yet attainable, at least narrow it down some. First, here's the problem I'm running into.
When playing with 2 friends of mine, I'm constantly being disconnected from the game. Sometimes it's only 5 minutes (after getting in and logged onto my pirate), sometimes it's almost 40 minutes. It's almost always started by what appears to be a disconnect between my client and the server. I'll be on the ship and it'll start rotating on it's Y axis, sometimes I'll fall off the ship and sometimes it's brief and everything goes back to normal, but often times it'll disconnect me from the game. Saying something about Xbox Live having issues.
This is where I'm not sure it is game related. When this happens, I'm chatting with my friends in Discord and the call with break up during that time.
Here's what I've done to try to alleviate this issue.
I've checked the network settings for the Xbox app and do see that my NAT shows as moderate. I've read some places that can be an issue and other places people have had issues while it's shown as open. I've tried using 'cmd' in admin to change this, but it's either on, off, or reset as far as I can tell.
I've also done port forwarding for the recommended ports for Xbox Live and that doesn't seem to have done anything. Unfortunately I have Xfinity and their portal doesn't really give me a lot of the control I'm used to with Linksys.
I don't think I've been able to find other solutions online, so I think this was all I've done so far though it felt like so much more with how much time I've spent on it. It's super frustrating because my friends (who've not had any of these issues and had to invite me back a dozen times before I just called it a night) and I had been returning to an Outpost to turn things in and got raided by a few pirates and I was completely useless in defending our loot due to my disconnecting. I don't think I can bring myself to play this game at all until I figure this out. Any and all advise is welcome.
P.S. I'm sorry if this isn't the place to post this. I'll repost it where it needs to go if that is the case. Thank you.
