Why can't I connect to multiplayer in FromSoftware games?

-

I’ve been having a really frustrating issue with multiplayer in FromSoftware games like Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, and Nightreign. When I try to put down a summon sign, it gets stuck on ‘joining,’ loads forever, and then disconnects me. What’s especially baffling is that my brother, who is on the same internet connection and also using a Series X, has no problems at all. I can connect when I switch to my phone’s hotspot, but that’s not sustainable. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going wrong? Is it possibly my Xbox or something else?

It sounds like your NAT type might be causing the issue. Check your network settings to see what it is; having an open NAT is usually best.
