Explanation

Bug: Dedicated Server Not Responding, Being Kicked out and Banned

Since the anniversary update, I have been near constantly kicked from Games. I will play for maybe 3-5 minutes, and all of a sudden, I freeze in game, and get kicked with "Dedicated Server Not Responding".

I then receive a match making ban, which is really frustrating, especially as it prevents myself or my SWF from playing matches during a time where gathering bloodpoints is most optimal.

Further information:

• I play on EU Servers.
• This is not specifically happening versus a particular killer or on a particular map.
• This is not specifically happening at a time of day, or with a specific loadout.
