### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

- **GAME BUILD** #: 25040513
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Steam
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 10

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE_ BUG PER THREAD.

Frequently when trying to join multiplayer lobbies it lets me into the waiting room then quickly kicks me out and says “Failed to Establish Connectivity”

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

👇 _How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!_

- **50%** of the time / matches I play (FREQUENTLY)

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

👇 _List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!_

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. I join a supremacy game from the browse games search window. This is not ranked

2. Once in the lobby it removes me back to the search window and displays the error

3. I am not sure if this is just a bad version of being kicked by host or if there is a real problem here. Just frustrating not to be able to play thanks.

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

👇 _What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?_

It would let me stay in the lobby

### ▶ IMAGE

👇 _ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem._
