Just remove the "No network connection" GUI
Before you say anything, the game is completely playable and still communicating with the server while that unclosable GUI is present. The connection is stable and fast, there's no rubberband or any other sign of delay. I've had multiple games where me and/or one of my friends got the error, didn't click OK - which reloads the game -, and just watched the game from a fixed position, being unable to act. And even if it was, in fact, our internet being slow at exactly the same time, while Discord and any other service are working without issues, then explain how you can play the game with a dying connection, rubberbanding every 0.5 seconds, and not getting that message. I've seen that both in public games - the killer's internet was totally dying, he couldn't do anything, and kept rubberbanding around - and from my friends' stream as well.
Even from a developer perspective, I see no point in an annoying notification that literally just forces you to DC and take the penalties, or AFK till you're dead. It has the same energy as the "please turn off your adblocker to access this website" popups that you can easily get rid of using inspect element, because the website is still there, working behind that div.
Once again, the game is still running completely fine, you are just locked behind a notification.
Point being, the "No network connection" is without a doubt broken and doesn't fire when it should, so please, either fix it or just get rid of it.
