NAT and matchmaking times

@not_Queen @Patricia @Peanits I have a technical question for you. :)

When I play Dead by Daylight in my house, I use an Ethernet cable, an ADSL2+ connection and a NAT1 port on my PS4Pro, and waiting times for matchmaking are usually reasonable, both as a killer and as a solo survivor or a party survivor.

When I'm at a friend's house, instead, we use a Wi-Fi connection with a mobile 4G hotspot and the port is NAT3 on a not-Pro PS4: why do the times of matchmaking as a killer (who is the host of the trial) remain normal, while those of survivor, alone or especially with friends, stretch out of proportion?

    I used to have portable router so i can tell you. NAT type 3 is quite picky, meaning that you can only be matched with people whose internet accepts yours. I think people with NAT type 2 can't join the ones with NAT type 3.
    You can solve that by opening the ports, but i think you'll still have NAT type 3 because it's a portable internet. I tried it and didn't work for me.

    @Vietfox Thank you for your answer. I don't understand why that issue hits the survivor matches only, without affecting the most heavy killer trials, where my friends' console hosts four survivors.

    Will be there any changes about NAT ports compatibility with the new matchmaking system?

    @not_Queen @Patricia Please, give me good news about the upcoming matchmaking system and NAT ports: waiting times are toooooooo long! :(
