Today, the same happened again.

Sadly I will have to leave the game for a few weeks.

Hope you guys fix this soon.

Thank you

We had this issue too. After one guy left we could play normally. But i dont know what causes it tbh.

This issue is quite common nowadays, it happens quite often, hopefully it will be fixed.

I opened a support ticket months ago on this. What kinds of logs do the devs need for this? This has been happening consistently for months across different PCs and even different ISPs. It’s definitely this game. How can we help you, the devs, figure this out?
