As the title says, I have been completely severed from other players after the recent changes. I played the game just fine a few days ago with my brother, and now when I try to join his fireteam (or any fireteam for that matter) I get a message indicating a network problem and when I enter public playspaces, I am always the only player there. I've changed nothing on my end, and as I've had this same issue before and back then I went through the necessary steps of getting myself a dynamic IP from my ISP to resolve the NAT issue that was the problem then, so it shouldn't be that either.
Which leads me to believe that this problem is not on my end. Anyone else experiencing this, or am I truly alone with this?
Edit #2: Opening all of the recommended ports for Steam seems to have fixed the issue. I wager that the closure of the Steam Datagram Relays somehow caused a need for ports that were closed just fine earlier to be opened. Just a heads up for anyone who might have the same issue.
Update: After working flawlessly for a week or so, the problem is back from the blue. Literally NOTHING has changed and I am once again unable to connect to other players.

I've been having a similar issue. Unlike you I can join fireteams from the social menu, but otherwise it's the same problem. No networking changes on my end, and all the public zones are empty and matchmaking lobbies don't work.

1 ReplyWhat is your game reporting your NAT as now? Have you tried power-cycling your network equipment?
