    Windows 11 switching NAT type to open from strict.


    in win10 used to be a oneclick fix it button where it switches NAT type from strict to open. since i updated to win11 im struggling with gaming as strict NAT type is causing me to disconnect from multiplayer matches, is there any way to switch NAT in win11.

    :)

    nat type

    Hi,

    If your NAT type shows Moderate, this is a good state. However, you may still have issues communicating or playing with other people who have Moderate or Strict NAT settings. To open your NAT settings, you may follow the steps
    under Open network ports using port forwarding on this
    link    .

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

    State Of Decay 2: Xbox multiplayer NAT type shows Strict

    I have a desktop at home and a laptop at home, recently been trying to play State Of Decay 2 multiplayer at home between both computers but to no avail. Here are the information:

    1. Desktop

    • On the XBOX app on Windows 10 PC shows NAT type: "Open"
    • Desktop is connected to internet through LAN cable from an ASUS router RT-AC87U
    • Able to receive party invites, able to join friend invited game

    2. Laptop

    • On the XBOX app on Windows 10 PC shows NAT type: "Strict"
    • Desktop is connected to internet through ASUS router RT-AC87U wireless network
    • Not able to receive party invites, or game invite from Desktop.
    Router was set to enable UPnP.

    Can anyone enlighten me how do i fix the Laptop issue. Or is it the Desktop problem?
