More bee fun!
As always, bee everywhere.
Xbox One, DMZ, Open NAT, all suggested ports forwarded, on the least crowded channel, not on a campus, wireless internet, 0% packet loss.
But it's my end. Yeah.
Anyways, I'm doing testing, and will update this after more testing. Here are some tests and results.
TEST: Wired vs. wireless
RESULTS: Wired or wireless, still be.
TEST: See how many games out of ten that I can get through in Iron Banner.
RESULTS: One. And I lost. This is great for IB rep.
TEST: PvP areas affected.
RESULTS: Iron Banner, Control, Clash.
TEST: PvE areas affected.
RESULTS: Occasionally the Tower. VoG is affected heavily.
TEST: Bandwidth?
RESULTS: Disconnected everything but xbox from wifi. Bee.
TEST: Account specific?
RESULTS: Brother's account. Bee.
TEST: ISP/router/modem specific?
RESULTS: Neighbor with same ISP, router, and modem. No bee.
TEST: Any signals it gives before occurring?
RESULTS: None common enough to make me believe so.
CURRENT FINDINGS: Bee is not cause by packet loss. Bee is not preceded by lag. Bee occurs wherever there is a team of 6 (includes Control, IB, Clash, VoG, and occasionally tower. team does NOT mean fire team). Bee is not specific to any ONE thing, be it ISP, router, or modem. Bee is not affected by wired vs wireless. Bee is not affected by bandwidth gain/loss.
BUNGIE: Stop telling us that it is our internet. My findings prove that it is not. Don't tell me there is a 53% reduction in bee errors when all I see in these "forums" are more and more people coming with bee, and none saying "thanks for fixing bee, bungie". I love Destiny, I really do. But when you bring out the Iron Banner with only a 6v6 mode that those of us with bee CAN NOT PLAY, it is very frustrating to us. We know you're trying to fix the issue. I know centipede/zebra takes priority. But, please don't mock us with the Iron Banner. And please stop repeating the same old " it's you, not us; open your ports". We believe in you guys. Please help us.
EVERYONE ELSE: Any suggestions for more tests I can do?

4 RepliesThat is some great testing you have done. I feel a bit more informed about bee, and more importantly not alone. Like others in this topic the frequency of the bee error seems to coincide with the number of people around me. It can and will happen anywhere. It mostly happens while in the Tower or in the Crucible. Like you 3v3 or Rumble (6 person free for all) will work just fine. But throw me in a 6v6 or an up to 16 people per instance tower and it will attract the bees. I usually go to the roster tab and see how many people are in the tower while my ship is landing to see how likely it is I will get the bee. Curiously enough sometimes even with a full town I will stay connected, although if I stay in town too long I will bee out. Sometimes I get "Contacting Destiny servers" message and sometimes I don't. When I do I notice a bit of lag in the town when turning in bounties or doing some other form of exchange with NPCs. (I will bee out, but still get my items and rep after I am in orbit) It also can happen to me while on patrol, a strike, or story mission. Sometimes the game puts in enough people around me to bee out. Although your findings do puzzle me a little. You stated you stayed in a crucible game with the same people and didn't get bee. If your theory about their connection giving you the bee is true then wouldn't other people nearby in game, and including your neighbor if they are in the same game, get the bee error? I don't really know what the cause of the bee error is, sometimes I think it is my slow connection (1.5 Mbps download, 256kb upload). I have done all that has been suggested by Bungie. While their patch last week (like 10/7 or so) did help a little, the problem is still there. Since that patch I have been able to complete 1 control game, that's it. I do get the occasional error, like pineapple and quail but those are few and far between. Hopefully they fix the problem, since so may people are still having the problem, it obviously is not the fault of our internet.
