Steps to Reproduce

The bug occurs often but as I do not know the cause I do not know how to reproduce other than playing.

Explanation

Randomly when playing a match my game disconnects me, I get the error message: "Dedicated server is not responding; disconnecting...".
Before said disconnects other players will move in straight lines for a few seconds while I'm able to move my character. Other times my character gets stuck doing their last action for a few seconds: fixing a generator, healing a survivor, picking up a survivor, vaulting a window and ETC.
This occurs on average every three-ish games, whether playing survivor or killer. I've been disconnected enough to earn a 30 minute penalty.
I've taken steps to prevent this incase it's on my end, Internet speed tests are fine, new ethernet cord, router reset, my drivers should be up to date, DNS flush.
