So it has been a little over 2 [b]months[/b] now and I am still unable to play with friends for no longer than 10 minutes at a time. I have a decent internet connection, 50 Mbps upstream and a 5 Mbps downstream, my internet is rated A with 0% packet loss, 20 ms ping and a 3 ms jitter all while directly wired. I have done everything Bungie and Playstation want me to do from forwarding ports to giving my ps4 a static I.P. I have deleted and reinstalled Destiny from the HD (using a disk).
I've called my ISP (TWC) but everything is fine on their end. My modem (Netgear) and router (WesternDigital) run just fine and I can play [b]any[/b] other game with no lag at all. Also, it causes my internet to stop working [u](like someone unplugged my router and modem simultaneously)[/u] unless I reset my router and modem; even then the issues still persist.
The main problem is when I'm near other players. I can do everything just fine if the server only includes me (boring but better than nothing). [b]As soon as another person joins, that's when everything goes bad.[/b] I can move/shoot/loot all I want [b]but[/b] other players and I glitch in and out, my shots do nothing because the health of my enemies rapidly go back to full, and I cannot loot chests or anything of that nature because it stops a sliver before it finishes the process (respectively).
Most of the times it will either: lag constantly and get an error, lag with no error at all (longest I went with this was a full hour), my internet will completely shut down, or it will boot every single player from my server giving them an error code.
I love the game and playing with my friends is why I have not given up yet. However after 2 months of nothing but error codes to fill a zoo and causing my internet to completely stop working, I feel as if the end is near.
