Strict NAT while having ports forwarded?

Hey,

I was having an issue where my NAT was always being set to strict, and was having problems hosting/joining peoples games, which I understand is bound to happen with the NAT type.

So I decided to forward some of the ports I needed to for the games being affected, I've set up my static IP perfectly fine too.

But for some reason, only some of the games have worked.

My static IP is working all fine, and games like Call of Duty: WWII and Destiny 2 both display the NAT as open.

But games like UNO and Grand Theft Auto V both claim that my NAT is strict, even though the correct ports are forwarded.

GTA says that UPnP is enabled, and yet my NAT is still strict and UNO just straight up says no..

 

I had to get my ISP to forward the ports for me (no routerlogin access), and he claimed that they were all correct and should be working (but who knows...).

 

Any ideas? I've tried disabling PC firewall, running as admin and restarting, and cannot think of much else.

Thanks, 

 

P.S. Before anyone says, I'd rather not go through the DMZ route, as have infomation that I would rather keep as secure as possible located on other devices. 

 

EDIT: Okay.. sometimes UNO lets me host, but it just seems so random, like, it tells me that I can't because of strict NAT, then I literally go back and try again and it has a chance of working (without anything being changed...)
