So basically this just started happening 2 days ago, went to get into a game and every time I launch up the game and connecting to a server, dosent matter what game i get disconnected/booted. I thought it was my wifi cutting in and out but just figured out today it’s just my pc. My brother can play any game without disconnecting and then as soon as I play something dosent matter what I disconnect like 10 seconds after getting in. Shit is driving me crazy
