I have network issues during D2 gameplay for the last month, but it got real bad 2 weeks ago.
I contacted my ISP, and they checked that all ports are open and set up according to standards for gaming.
I switched my modem, thinking it might’ve been that.
A technician came here and checked my internet.
I updated all my drivers.
Still, and D2 is the only game I have issues with, I constantly get “contacting server” messages during gameplay and then it kicks me.
Each time a different error code.
I’m confident to say that my internet is very stable at 150 Mbit/s and definitely not the problem, I literally did every test and fix available.
So it either is on Bungie’s server end or has something to do with windows updates messing things up, but I doubt it as then more people would have that issue playing D2.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Exact the same on Xbox for me!

Exactly the same! Problems within last 2 weeks. Never before. And they just banned me for the connection issues whithout any Warning. I'm livid

What model router do you have? I was having the same issue and I solved it. UPnP was my issue. I have a Netgear nighthawk x6 R8000, UPnP hasn't worked for the past few firmware versions. I reverted to a 2019 version, disabled port forwarding (having both enabled will cause issues), and changed my pc to use DHCP instead of a static IP. One or all of these seems to have fixed my issue.

Thanks for your report. The "servers are not available" message indicates that there is a connection issue of some kind happening between you and Destiny 2. This may be an internet service provider issue.

Edited by Crisidelm: 7/6/2020 3:24:47 PMThe only times I get the problems you mentioned (continuously having "Contacting Server" messages, error codes back-to-back and always different) is when my ISP is having some trouble (mostly, routing efficiently to North-American servers, however it's happened on rare occasions). Having said that, I don't exclude there could be something awry with your Windows; have you tried to delete and reinstall it?
