KnightAtomic Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) This happens a lot, if I try and join public games then there is no problem but as soon as I try and join one of my friends games or invite them over for a game then nothing works at all. I honestly have no idea what could be wrong. I am a plus member and my internet at home is working fine, as I said it is only when I try to play a private game and only on the PS4. So far I have tried: Crash team racing Conan exiles Watchdogs 2 I don't know why it does this, again I can play with friends fine if we happen to be in the same game but I can't invite them. is this a known problem? EDIT: My NAT connection is NAT3 I have no idea if that is good or bad when related to my case or what I should have or if I can change it.

cris3f Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Check your NAT internet level, if it's not that perhaps some router configurations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightAtomic Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 So ok anything I need to be on the lookout for when it comes to router settings? Also how do I check NAT levels, sorry if this just became a costumer service call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leenewbe Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 just do a standard internet connection test on your playstation and it'll give you your nat type there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightAtomic Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 So I checked my NAT connection and it looks like I have NAT3, again I have no idea if this is good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAT 3 is the worst one you can have, because then you can only join other people who also have NAT 3. NAT 2 is the best one with NAT 1 being the middle ground. To get out of this, you need to put your console into your Router's DMZ so it will be placed outside of the Firewall and allowed to communicate freely with PSN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightAtomic Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) So I need to connect it directly to the router? I guess I am out shopping for a network cable. Also thanks for the tips. Edited November 2, 2019 by KnightAtomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think I will try that first. Thanks either way, this has been driving me crazy for months, maybe now I can actually fix it.
