THANK GOD! I mean thank you for that post this is more evidence that it is bungie who is at fault for these errors and connection problems. I have had actual engineers look at my systems/network and such. They all say the problem are coming from bungies end. But they still claim its not their fault and we the customers are at fault or at least our systems or ISP are at fault

  • Well, let's be clear here... My post was regarding their QA/Deployment processes. A couple of updates in a row caused more problems than they fixed. Since I wrote my original post, Bungie has made great strides in ensuring that their published updates have not caused more problems than they solved. Granted, some of the changes in the early updates did cause some disconnection issues, but most, if not all of those issues have been resolved as of this time. Anyone who is continuing to have connection issues, most likely has an issue somewhere on the network between their XBOX and Bungie's servers. Some things to consider... 1. Make sure your router has enough connections defined. I recently added a new cell phone to my WiFi router and all of a sudden, Destiny started having problems staying connected. My son has the exact same phone on the same router, so I knew that couldn't be the problem. After examining my router settings, I realized that the maximum number of connections had been exceeded with the addition of this new device, so the router was having a hard time determining which devices should remain connected. 2. If your XBOX is connected via WiFi, hard wire it instead. Almost all connectivity issues will be resolved with a hard wired connection. 3. Even if your XBOX is hard wired, if you have a WiFi router that is routing your internet traffic, lock it down. You'd be surprised how many times connectivity issues are due to "outside interference"... a. Set your router up to deny all connections except the specific MAC Addresses that you have pre-authorized. This will prevent the vast majority of "external" interference. A simple WiFi password is not enough these days. There is software available that allows people to get your password just from watching the network. b. Turn your beacon/broadcast off. This will stop your router from "advertising" that it's available. This will prevent other devices from even knowing your network exists. So if there is someone in your neighborhood attempting to steal your WiFi, they won't even know that your network exists. You might want to change your network name at the same time, as anyone who still has your network name and setup information in their device. You will need to make sure to have all of your devices connected to the network before turning the beacon off. You'll have to tun this back on whenever you add a new device and need to "search for networks".
