Constant disconnects within 1 minute of finding players.
Just like some people had back in the Beta (though I was fortunate enough not to have that issue then, only now post-launch) I can't get into a game for more than about 1 minute before it kicks me out and says "Disconnected from server." And asking if I want to reconnect. Even on reconnect it connects back to the lobby, but I'm kicked out after another ~30 seconds to 1 minute. Over and over and over, crossplay on or off. Game isn't even worth playing solo because there's no progression when you do, but that's my only option to play, period.

Tried VPN, tried verifying files, tried reinstalling, using phone hotspot instead of home wifi, moving the installation from my Steam drive to my main SSD, restarted Steam, restarted my whole computer -- nothing works, it's just broken.

Anyone have any ideas or potential fixes I might not have tried?

I have no idea, but I have the same issue. Every time I try to play online, the Game disconnect after 30-60 Secs. I Beta I havn't this issue... :(

I had this issue, restarting the game fixed it for me.

same issue with me, i've got everything recorded for the last 30min. of my stream. I've played the early access without any connection issue at all!

Still having issue -- I had exactly *one* session where it wasn't an issue (the only session I tried recording yet to submit it as a bug request actually, dang it) and restarting the game doesn't seem to fix it 90+% of the time -- I've tried playing on about 10 different occasions since and only 1 of them was I actually able to play with other people. In the middle of the night, after midnight -- is it a server issue?

In Canada here and I have not had any issues, you can check you router settings and see if you can enable uPnP, that might help, or if you dont want to do that you can try trace TCP connections and see what port to forward but someone on reddit said they had connections on ports 9101 & 9102. So you can try that.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to be able to port forward right now because XFinity decided to lock port forwarding behind their online portal instead of just letting you do it on your router, and I'm not the person paying for my internet right now so I don't have access to the account. The person paying for it isn't very tech savvy and doesn't even know what port forwarding is (and isn't very willing to let me do it to host dedicated servers -- found that out almost 2 years ago)
I WAS able to enable uPnP though through the router, and it's been on for over a year.

I've had exactly 2 play sessions where this problem didn't happen, in the middle of the night, which leads me to believe it's actually related to server congestion instead of anything on my end.
