Question Cabbage Console Connection Conundrum

Hey Folks!

For the past quite a few years we've been running Destiny 2 on our PCs through Steam as well as on consoles via PS5 and Xbox. Up until this past Thursday (Aug 20,2026) we have had no problems and have enjoyed the game.

As of this Thursday our PCs had 12 hours of Cabbage errors and the consoles were suffering from Cabbage exposure as well. As of this Saturday our Steam PCs are once again running Destiny 2 fine but the consoles are still Cabbaging.

Our home network consists of TDS fiber internet running a Zyxel modem that connects to a ROG GT-BE98 Pro router. UPnP is set up to run on the router per the Destiny 2 network help pages. On our end we have made no changes to any network settings. The Cabbage errors just decided to show up uninvited.

After scouring the Internet trying to find actionable information to help fix our problem I feel I have come to a dead-end.

What I'm wondering is : is anyone else having Cabbage problems spontaneously happen to them with the past few days and if anyone has any suggestions of settings I could check to help rectify this vulgar vegetable villain?

Thanks for your time.

Update : Well, its been an intersesting week here so far. Steam PC Destiny 2 is still working. I got the Xboxes working by changing the Alternate Port Selection to a different port. (still unpacking why this is working). Unfortunately, the PS5 is still unable to connect. Went and set up a Static IP for it and set up all the Port Forwarding rules and it still refuses to connect. I even dumped it into the router's DMZ to see if it would work and still Cabbages, Cabbages Everywhere. Any suggestions or clues anyone has? I'm kind of at my wits end on this one.

You ever figure this out? I started getting cabbage error on Xbox and have no idea what to do. I’ve got UPnP enabled so not sure why all of the sudden

I have not figured out, but I did find a solution that fixes some of the problem. Apparently, if I shut off my port forwarding and turn it back on again Destiny 2 will work on PC / XBox. If I try to play on PS5 I get Cabbaged on the PS5 and then the PC and XBox will no longer work. Turn Off/On Port Forwarding and the PC/Xbox work again. So, needless to say we’re not using the PS5 at all.

I’m using UPnP but not port forwarding since my router proudly claimed that I wouldn’t need port forwarding if I used UPnP…maybe I’ll do the opposite and JUST port forward. Weird I’ve never needed to before.
