NAT stands for Network Address Translation. NAT translates the IP addresses of computers in a local network to a single IP address. This address is often used by the router that connects the computers to the Internet. The router can be connected to a DSL modem, cable modem, T1 line, or even a dial-up modem.

Solution to Fix Multiplayer Nat Issue

In order to play Multiplayer, you will have to change your router settings and you’ll have to switch to different network settings on your side.

Make sure that these two following ports are open:

  • TCP: 11700-11710
  • UDP: 48800-49000

Here’s how to find these ports:

  • Search for Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security
  • Open Inbound Rules and click on “New Rule…” on the right side of the window.
  • Make rule SR1: Port > TCP > Specific local ports 11700-11710 > Allow the connection
  • Make rule SR2: Port > UDP > Specific local ports 48800-49000 > Allow the connection
  • Open Outbound Rules and do the previous two steps with opening ports.
