Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play in public matches

Step 3 : Repeat until a match ends prematurely with "Dedicated server is not responding; disconnecting..."

Additional information

  • Has occurred for me 7 times over past 3 days.
  • Pings to 8.8.8.8 at 1 second intervals return without delay/loss throughout the incident.
  • A friend (in another state, but same NA East region) reported that her separate match also ended with "Dedicated server is not responding" at the same time (within 5 seconds).
  • This appears to be an intermittent server-side issue, rather than anything wrong with my setup or connection.
