Anyone know a solution to "Connection Lost"?
I keep disconnecting midway through a mission after maybe 2-5 minutes and was wondering if anyone knows a way to avoid this from happening

Change your DNS to Google or Cloudflare

I was having this trouble over the weekend. Couldn't stay in a match for more than 2-3 minutes. Did a file verification, it found a missing file, and I haven't had a DC since.

Some folks say it works, some say it doesn't, but seems like it worked for me.

play bugs or bots,,,currently that is the only "permanent" fix
if you go ilum it's going to always be a luck of the draw

I saw this in the other post and did this, and it seemed to have worked, but I'll need to play more to find out

Trying another planet worked for me.

In my case the issue was with either how my PC connects to my router, or router to the ISP.

i have Cat5 ethernet from PC to router and another Cat5 from router to ISP box. I can download stuff REAL fast that way but a lot of games had issues i.e. Helldivers, delta force, war thunder, star citizen all giving weird errors

But when I switched over to Wifi6, without antenna, it was much slower but NO ERRORS AT ALL!
Today I got a wifi antenna for my PC and while instead of 900mbps i now have 550-650, I get no such issues that you are also now facing.

So it could be worth checking:
- Do you have Cat 6 or better ethernet from start to end? I recommend considering Cat7 since not much more expensive and also features flat cabling
- Have you tried wifi if you use ethernet, or the other way around
- Do you have exact same issue on a hotspot from your mobile device, as long as the provided is not the same this can help with troubleshooting
- Do you use fiber optic, copper wire, radio signal, 5g/lte?
I've mostly only seen this happen a lot on Illuminate missions, or more specifically ones with Cities in them. I'm not sure if all the Cars and buildings etc. are just too much for people's CPUs to keep up with in online play but I really do think it needs optimising in that case. My girlfriend DCs randomly every few minutes during Illuminate missions.

verifying your game files seems to fix the issue for a little bit. It finds a missing file every time i do it.
