@TheMidnightTav Do you have any updates pending on your OS or drivers?

Have you tried using a public DNS to see if this solves the issue?

Checked for all windows updates and there was only 1 security patch. No change. 

checked drivers for graphics card (3060) there was one update on 2/8/23. Installed, still no difference.

      I did the DNS change to the google DNS numbers you provided. I am still getting bad connection, but was able to actually play through one entire match. Still had multiple points where I thought I was getting disconnected, but it ended up keeping me in the game. Does this mean I need to keep this as the permanent DNS?
