That is indeed a very strange situation.
It almost looks like either your Firewall, Antivirus or internet adapter software just blocks your whole PC from having access to the internet while you're playing the game, as if it's triggering something within those programs. I am mentioning these two, since they are pretty much the only three programs that can cause this on a PC, the game itself (of course) can't cause this as it's not a feature of the game.
Just to start with the most plausible cause of this: do you have something called "Killer LAN" installed on your PC, by any chance? Or something with the name "Killer", that is meant for your Intel network card?

@EA_Leeuw Thanks for the reply! I just tried to disable the firewall and as many background processes as possible (it seems like I don't have the Killer network adapter), but the error persists so far.
My PC disconnected from the Wi-Fi after noticing the signal had no network access. But when it reconnects, the issue is gone temporarily. It either disconnects me during gameplay or comes out during the next launch.
I'll try to launch the game in Windows safe mode when I get a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and see if the problem still occurs.

@nameIsBibu, cheers for the update.
Yeah, if you could give eithernet a try, that would be neat. It's also possible that it's a WiFi adapter driver related issue.- 3 years ago
Hi there,
Has there been a fix for this, as this is a problem that has been happening to my PC for the last couple of weeks.
Randomly kills my internet connection and I can restore it by resetting modem. Really annoying, sometimes I can make it through a few games, sometimes not even a full match.

I started playing again 2 days ago, have had the issue twice. Has completely turned off the internet while using. Contacted PlayStation and they have told me it's likely an issue on your end because my account plays many multiplayer games that are similar and do not have the same issue. I contacted your help desk and they have told me it's my ISP. I have contacted my ISP and they have told me without going into the account that the most likely reason is your getting a surge in packets which is crashing your ISP. Equivalent to DDoSing. Will be calling ISP later with my partner to verify that's the cause.
I hope you can take this issue further up, I play all triple A games and this is the only one that does this.
- 3 years ago@B_Machine P.S your customer service centre didn't take it as seriously as they should. A game that disrupts internet connection completely is a game doomed for the grave. Furthermore when sending me an email asking if I need help to contact you they sent it in Portugese. I speak English and spoke English through the entire chat. The first email was even in English.

Hey @B_Machine,
Because we so no other reports about these sorts of events, it's very likely that this is caused by your own setup. It's possible that your modem, router, or another network device, is not able to handle the network connection and therefore cuts the connection or lets some equipment crash.
I would recommend checking the logs of your network devices, either modem or router, to see if you can spot any weird events. It's possible that only your ISP can do this for you.

@EA_Leeuw thats right constant blaming others for your games problems! why you keep closing forums about "Unable to load persistence data" and marking it down as resolved when it isnt?
