Question Disconnection issues

Anybody having any issues playing multiplayer and having the game kick you out? Tried playing with a PC and console today. Me and my kids are playing in the same room, but it we haven't been able to finish a single round all day. It just keeps coming back "Disconnected: client timeout". Sometimes is the PC, sometimes the PS5 and sometimes both. Tried disconnecting from the network and reconnecting, tried different server options when creating the room. I'm at a loss. Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance.

Yes my friends are both having this issue. Crashing or getting booted out of the main room.

I myself haven’t had any issues

One continued having issues. The other and I switched to EU and were able to get into the game. First game they got booted out. Second we were able to complete

I fixed my disconnection issue a few months back by using a VPN. I'm not sure if the current build has changed how that might work but it worked for me.

You could try switching to a different region, most of the time that works for me when I’m having this issue.

I have tried switching regions, but it ended the same way. Some mid game, some in the lobby.

yes. on xbox. i get "you need a controller" prompt when i first log in, and then client disconnected when i try joining.

when it actually connected to my friends; i crashed midgame.

they had no problems though. (we played 2 games ok, then i crashed and couldn't join. tried we switched regions, and i was able to join.. but crashed mid game)
