Been having this problem for about 4 years, started to notice it on LoL when I kept getting disconnected from chat every minute or so. Last year it started getting worse, when I'm playing csgo it will cut out for about a second (will link yt clip for example). It's now got the the point where it completely kicks me off some games, TERA and Black Desert Online are the only two I know of so far, I'm not sure what it does and I've searched online for a similar problem but couldn't find much, it basically cuts my connection from the game for a split second and the game says disconnected from server about 30 seconds or more later, sometimes a few minutes. I also forgot to mention that if im in discord or teamspeak, it doesn't disconnect at all on there, only ingame. Also I'm using an ethernet cable.

Use tracert (versus ping) to track the path(s) of your packets.

May provide some indication of where the disconects are occurring: within your network, within your ISP, or beyond.

Run tracert multiple times and at different times to see if a pattern emerges.

It could be just traffic, someone with a cheat, a balky router, or a bad physical connection somewhere.

Call your ISP and have them run some tests from their end. May take a few calls.

Inspect your own incoming ISP connections (do so safely) and look for signs of cable or connector damage, corrosion, loose connections. Coax splitters are often problematic. Make sure all unused ports are properly terminated (versus just being capped).

 



Apparently it's a problem with their server hosts (leaseweb.net) and there's not much do to :/ it's annoying because my mates have been grinding while I dc within 30 mins of logging in.
