Keep disconnecting from the server mid game

I just wanna play☹️ Haven't finished a full game. It will disconnect me in the middle of the game and sometimes when I'm just sitting in the menu screen. Any fixes to this?

Bumping this thread for visibility. Everyone's talking about the connection issue on startup and that thread is super hot but for me its this issue here. Audio will go completely silent for a few seconds during a match then the game freezes and kicks me to the main men. Seems to happen more often when queued with friends.

That's a symptom of packet loss. Missing data that you should be receiving audio, what's happening in the game, etc.... just stops....you freeze in time for a bit. Depending on how severe the length of time of the packet loss will depend on what will happen.

If the duration you experience the packet loss is very short, you'll just notice a quick freeze in the game and then everything will come back. If it is a bit longer but not bad enough that the server doesn't know how to handle correcting the data that was lost for you, it will more than likely kick you to the lobby. If the server has no idea how to recover from all the lost data, you are likely to just crash.

Their Connection issues are not on just startup. They are having major connection issues constantly. You might make it 80% of the way through a game and the server might spike and can't handle the load. You might make it through 2 games fine and it spikes (if you're lucky). Monitor their servers and you'll see what is happening.

This is what I did. Their server loads are up and down in a bad way right now.
