"Connection Interrupted" After Loading Half Way When Joining Custom Games?

Hello, I have never posted on here but this is really confounding me, as well as annoying me. Randomly, after working fine for God knows how long, most custom games that I try to join load up to around the half way point after slowing down to a crawl, then disconnect me and give me the “Connection Interrupted” error. What is this? This only started up after the update a few months ago.

I feel genuinely helpless because I’ve reached out to many different communities with this question and no one has even acknowledged my problem let alone tried to help me. I was having a wonderful time rediscovering the games I played when I was a kid, and now I can barely connect to a game in this community that I was loving.

This has been going on for a month or two by now. I have tried restarting my computer, changing my connection settings in MCC, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, etc to no avail.

All help would be appreciated.

Do you happen to be banned from matchhmaking? That will prevent you from joining games in the custom game lobby.

If youre banned from matchmaking it will cause something similar to what you describe here
