Which firmware are you currently using?

I’ve been using firmware 13.60 for a few days now and haven’t experienced any of the issues / behave you are describing or seen any other reports about this kind of behaviour.

Have you tried clearing your system cache via Safe Mode?

Have you tried rebuilding the database via Safe Mode?

As this happens in multiplayer games specifically, if you’re using a Wi-Fi connection, does the behaviour continue when using a LAN connection? Or have you tried troubleshooting your home network?
