Hi, i require some help. Before season 3 started, in the game my nat showed it was open and good. After the start of Season 3, my nat become strict and bad, and I don't know why. It became buggy and with a lot of lag on matches. I thought patch 1.14 will fix this issue, but it didn't. My nat type is Type 2 with 20 Mbps on Download and Upload.

I was navigating the forum looking for something about this too. It's happening on my side as well. Whole game lags pre-match, especially the VS screen, and my NAT was reduced from green to yellow after the big patch 1.15 (19GB). And I've experienced the first game crash yesterday (and it happened right on a Dominion match's end, probably as someone rage-quitted right on the victory/defeat screen). I did not get the rewards for that match. It completely froze. I had to close and re-open For Honor. It mostly happens in Dominion and 4v4 matches. I've done two Duels and they were smoother, the VS screen lagged less than with Dominion.
It's true that map loading times are now less, but I personally never perceived them as a game-breaking issue before season 4; but this horrendous lag makes me feel like I'm running Farcry 4 in 4K on PS3, and the poor console can't take it and is dropping the FPS.
I honestly think it's their servers crapping themselves with the release of season 4. They cannot cut server access and cause a blackout, yet have to run a maintenance check or whatever, to optimize stuff along with the release of season 4. I don't think our PS4s have anything to do with it.
It's either that, or this new, huge update is bugged and they need to fix that asap. Numerous other members on here, most PC users, have serious lag even before the VS screen, and many of them can't even run the game anymore, it crashes before main menu. I guess I'll wait before I make a Steel purchase which was planned this weekend. I don't want to risk purchasing Steel then install another patch/update that won't read any previously purchased Steel.
