Question Losing connection with online games with friends

[schylermk]

Hi everyone! I am currently having issues connecting to any online games through steam. I have tried
-Deep Rock Galactic
-Raft
-Grim Dawn
-Valheim
-Borderlands 3
-Total Warhammer 2

When I try to connect to any of these games, they will run for a couple of seconds. After running for a short amount of time, I will be kicked out of my friend's game, or they will be kicked out of mine for losing connection. I know it is an issue on my end because all of my friends can play together. I am also able to run online games like hearthstone and league with my friends. I have tried to see if it could be a network issue and have used two separate networks, both having the same issue. Any help will be appreciated!!!

So whats your anti virus?

It is Mcafee

It is Mcafee

There's your issue..... Add your games and their launchers to the accption list make it so McAfee dosn't over ride them

I just tried it and it doesnt seem to work. Am I doing the .exe or the whole folder

Also, both internet connections that I used were Verizon FiOS. I never had this issue until about 2 weeks ago.

McAfee is random.... I would try without McAfee installed
If the expetion folder isn't working

I tried it without mcafee and it isn't working still. I don't think it is an issue with my firewall.
