Ok, so my phone “fix” using the regular ISP wifi turned out to be just a lucky streak(it was like 5 games in a row, thats why I posted) of no disconnects, but they came back. Sorry if I gave anyone false hopes, it wasnt intended at all. Anyway, the “fix” using Phone+4g connection is working flawlessly so far, I recommend as a temporary solution until MS sorts their \*\*\*\*(its pathetic that they didnt yet). ---

Having the same exact issue. play a mp game, approx 5-10 minutes in one of the 2 of us is dropped. sent back to main menu page with a signing into multiplayer services box to great who ever gets drop. other player keeps chugging along in game. Also noticed that steam invites bring in player to lobby, but on their pc is still in main menu page. In game invite button seems to work fine. And finding friend only games on server seems broken as well. only way to get friends into friends only game is through in game invite button. ---

Also having this issue since launch. I can’t stay connected for longer than 30 minutes, some times disconnecting after 5. I haven’t finished a MP game with friends yet, and I’m the only one out of my group this is happening to. I’ve tried both wired and wireless connections to no avail. I’m seriously considering a refund from Steam at this point. ---

This is honestly embarrasing and frustrating how do you screw up a 20 yo game, have not been able to finish a single game, it is mega slow and crashes on MP obvioulsy but even on MAIN MENU -\_- thinking of getting a refund, it is just unplayable as it is, have windows 10 and an ok laptop. ---

I don’t know if this will work for everyone, but after trying all of the power saving stuff, I connected my pc directly to my router, instead of through a secondary router that is in my room, which fixed it the “dropped” and “disconnected” errors for me. We just finished an ~hour long match (one player got disconnected ;p but still xd) ---

Same issue with me. Also in Brazil and using NET/Claro as ISP. The interesting thing is that I can spectate without problems. Apparently it only happens when I’m playing. I’m using the Win Store version. ---
