  2. 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?

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    Xbox DVR saves game as "Xbox" instead of actual title

    Hi Tyrea,

    An outdated version of the Xbox app and corrupted installation files are possible reasons why you're encountering this issue. For us to determine the root cause, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any changes to your device before encountering this issue?
    • Have you tried recording other games and check if the same issue occurs?
    In the meantime, we suggest running the Windows apps troubleshooter provided on this

    link
    . This can help resolve issues regarding applications downloaded from the Windows Store.

    Refer to this
    link
    for the steps on how to verify that you have the latest version of the Xbox app on Windows 10.

    We also recommend keeping your device up-to-date. See
    How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10
    for the steps.

    If the same instance occurs, kindly reset the Xbox app. Here are the steps:

    • Click Start and click Settings.​
    • Select System.​
    • Select Apps & features.
    • ​Find the app and click Advanced options.​
    • Click Reset.​
