Please help. Random disconnect until 1 hour ban

I've been getting random disconnects in a match, and there are no constant variable that I can see - it can happen after a gen is fixed, it can happen when the killer chases, or when I hit the survivors - totally random. Screen would freeze for about 15 seconds, then 5 seconds later, "you have been disconnected from the host". I have tried validating game files, changing dns to google dns, and even restarting my router and pc, but none has helped.

This only started to happen after the pinhead update, and no, it's not only happening against pinhead, it's all the killers. Is anyone else facing the same issue? I'd say out of 5 games, 4 of those would have me disconnected. I'm probably gonna stay away from this game for a few days to let the cooldown settle..

    This isn't new, although it did seem to go away for awhile. I'm on a ban for no reason also.. again. When you dc on purpose, you receive zero points, but not when this happens! Yay i get the points i earned and keep my item.. even counts as an escape.. but wait! Here comes a nice matchmaking lockout for no reason because apparently they can't possibly figure out a way to distinguish a random disconnect from an intended disconnect.. well maybe if your being awarded your points it should know you didn't mean it.. I mean, it knows when you do it intentionally enough to deny you any points before it implements the ban right?

    Judging by the number of complaints about this issue, they really should disable dc penalty for a short while to sort this out.. it's unplayable because i fear the inevitable disconnect more than the killer lmao
