CABBAGE Error Destiny 2 | Step-By-Step Fix

Error Code CABBAGE in Destiny 2 indicates that your router settings (specifically the firewall) are blocking the game from communicating with Bungie’s services.

This issue is most common with Technicolor or Thomson routers, but it can happen with any brand that has strict default security.

Here is the step-by-step fix:

1. The Router Settings Fix (Primary Solution)

You need to adjust your router’s firewall to let the game traffic through.

1. Log into your router: Open a browser and type your router’s IP (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).

2. Find the “Toolbox” or “Advanced” section: Look for Firewall or Game & Application Sharing.

3. Enable UPnP: Ensure Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned ON.

4. Disable “Extended Security”: If you see a checkbox for “Extended Security,” “Intrusion Detection,” or “Strict Firewall,” uncheck/disable it.

5. Save and Restart: Save your changes and restart both your router and your console/PC.

2. Set Up Port Forwarding

If enabling UPnP didn’t work, you must manually “forward” the specific ports Destiny 2 uses so your router knows to let that traffic in.

• Go to: The Port Forwarding section of your router (often under Advanced or WAN).

• Add a new rule with the following settings:

  • Protocol: UDP

  • Port Range: 3074 and 3097

  • Device IP: Select your console/PC’s IP address.

3. Technicolor/Thomson Router Specific Fix

If you have a Technicolor router (often supplied by ISPs), the “Cabbage” error is caused by a specific “Application Layer Gateway” setting that usually requires a deeper fix.

• Quick Fix: Put your console/PC into the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) in your router settings. This bypasses the firewall entirely for that device.

  • Note: This is safe for consoles (PS5/Xbox), but less recommended for PC due to security risks, though it is the fastest way to get the game working.

4. The “Mobile Hotspot” Test

To confirm your router is 100% the problem:

1. Connect your PC or Console to your phone’s mobile hotspot.

2. Launch Destiny 2.

3. If the error vanishes, your home router is definitely the culprit, and you may need to call your ISP to ask them to “lower the firewall security level.”
