Heeey.

So, I decided to come back to the game after a hiatus since halloween, and on the whole I'm enjoying being back.

...is what I'd like to say.
Unfortunately, for some reason it seems after a certain amount of time elapses, my signal goes into the red, I begin rubber banding, I can no longer see my own speech bubbles and finally I get booted to the login menu saying I've been disconnected from the server. I've mostly been socialising so it wasn't too big a deal, but it became a serious problem just after I beat an arena because the game became totally unplayable.

I've no idea what could be causing the problem, why my signal is going into the red and I'm getting all these problems. I've tried disabling any other devices that use the same network as me but to no avail, which makes me think there's a PC issue.
I also ensure there is nothing in the background that would interfere with my internet; I disable processes with internet functions (except my firewall).
