@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.
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.

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.

Hey @oTOMAHAWKo,
It doesn't seem like it is a widespread issue, if I search through our forums, therefore it allows me to believe that it could very well be related to your own setup. There are numerous things that can cause this issue; malfunctioning PC drivers, a too strict firewall/antivirus, a break in your connection (cable or wifi), modem/router rules/ports that are too strict, modem/router firmware not knowing what to do with the traffic, etc. etc. - 3 years ago
I actually got a couple of fixes. Sorry for not posting them lately:
1. I used an SD card to store the game on my laptop and that solves the problem, not sure if it's because it completely isolates the game from windows. Not sure about this weird theory.
2. Plugging an Ethernet cable would also solve the problem since my laptop only disconnects from Wi-Fi, not a cabled connection.
3. I was using a Verizon router, and it seems that causes the real issue with the game. I went to my friend's house and tested it under her Verizon router using her desktop, and it had exactly the same problem. I bought a gaming router recently and used Open NAT in the network settings, which completely solved the issue (no ethernet cable or SD card). If you don't have Open NAT, try port forwarding. You can Google the ports 2042 is using, and you'll see a list of them. Just put all the ports into the setting and restart the router.
4. Also, if you open up the network debug plot in the game and you see periodic ping pulses when your network becomes laggy, that is probably due to a bad signal or traffic. Try some load balancing or signal enhancement strategy, providing that your router has those settings.
