DNMNetTech

Vigilante Justice. If enough of us target them, they would move to another session. The problem is R* kind of promotes this activity by having a challenge to kill players with a specific gun type. This used to happen to me quite a bit and still does. Last night 2 guys on horseback roped me and started to drag me down the streets of St. Dennis. I pulled my knife, cut the rope, and Shot them both with my double barrel. They didn't know what to do. Never had a problem from them the rest of the night.

I'm on the east coast. What times do you plan on playing? During the week I am on most evenings from 7 to 11 or 12. On the weekends I can be on most of Saturday. Sundays on many times.

Mine is My Initial n My wifes initial. and then nettech for network technologies.

R* telling you to put your console in the DMZ to solve any problem is wrong. By placing you console or any PC in the DMZ you open it up to the world. Any wanna be hacker can then access your device and have all kinds of fun. PS4 is no more secure than an XBox. XBox is running a cut down and modified version of windows. Windows is not secure without a firewall. DMZ removes firewall from protecting. Always use NAT. No other game I have ever played required my computer to be in the DMZ so it doesn't use NAT. What if you have more than 1 console playing RDR2? You can't forward the ports to both. You have to use NAT.

Rockstar has a service through Akamai. Akamai has servers that you connect to in your area called edge servers. There are over 200k globally. These edge servers connect to the main R* servers, where ever they reside, and provide the content to the end users. These edge servers cache the data from the servers and pass back and forth data. The end consoles PS4 or XBox don't talk directly with the R* servers. In theory, this creates faster load times for, update downloads, and mission loading. Akamai does host many servers and services for many companies. How this impacts server disconnects, I am still trying to determine. For me, the disconnect occurred at the Akamai edge server. None of the above in my scenario would point to a peer to peer connection.

It does require some software to perform the tests. Interpreting the results can be tricky unless you understand in depth networking and tcpip packets.

Rockstar is escalating my ticket for further review regarding the 0x20010006 error. I provided packet traces that show no issue until the drop. No latency, CRC's errors, No retrans. Not my network. ISP has no issues with connection either.

I enjoy many aspects to the game. The scenery is so wonderful it is a pleasure to travel and roam freely hunting and fishing. I also enjoy being slaughtered doing the various multi player battles. I guess I may get better at them over time. I even enjoy being shot by some random player while trying to make it to the butcher only to be killed and lose my stuff. (This means I didn't get server drops and lose my stuff)

Every night I play and seem to get disconnected at least every 30 min. I have no issue with other online games. My router is set correctly, I am using solid DNS settings, and have tried all the PS4 configurations R* suggested. I am so frustrated I can't play online.
