Please, would love some help here. I've been playing with the same Xbox and gateway for more than 6 months. Yesterday evening I suddenly had this issue start: Game loads fine to character select screen. Once a character is chosen, load times increase exponentially. It takes about 2 minutes to load into orbit. During this time the music clips in and out. Once in orbit, load times are worse. It takes 2-5 minutes to select a destination. Once that begins loading, it takes another 5-10 minutes of loading before I receive a pumpkin error and am returned to main screen. So what I tried tonight: deleted and reinstalled destiny (while I was at work re downloaded all updates). When I got home I chose a new static ip for Xbox, filled in gateway and subnet stuff. Then added in DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Added Xbox to DMZ list. Then added the following rules under my static Xbox list for port forwarding: TCP 80, UDP 88, both 3074, and both 53. so under port forwarding I chose that and then those values. I feel like that should be correct for that piece, but not sure if that's all that needs done there. I've spent more than 4 hours trouble shooting this and this is my third post here about this issue (with no response from anyone yet!) Verizon states I can pay $75 for their crack team to look into this for me, but since I just paid $80 for the CE edition paying another 75 really feels like a kick in the pants. So, please, some help or suggestions :) Xbox 360, about 30 GB of hard space free. Game is installed and is not running off disc. Other games are running without issue. Netflix is running without issue. With certain settings on network test it says my NAT setting is moderate. Currently, it does not state that. (With all of the changes I've made...) My gateway is a Verizon model FIOS-g1100 Thank you for any help.
