I bought the game no less than a week ago and this issue is really getting on my nerves. I am unable to play 10 minutes in any game mode without getting disconnected (Group:1 Reason:5) or the game freezes. I don't know what the issue is at this point. I don't run mods, or join modded servers, and everything on my is up to date.(PC/Driver Updates) I thought the most recent update would fix this issue but I guess not. Any help would be great, I really like playing the game but at this point it won't let me.
PC specs if they are needed:
Motherboard: B460M Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5-10400 @2.90GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (Driver version 551.86)
RAM: 16GB
Arma Reforger is installed on a 4TB SSD with about 1TB to spare.

It seems to be different from everyone I know but here is what I have found out:
I can load into a lobby and drive around for a bit, but then I will hit this point where my frames drop and the game freezes. I now have to terminate the game and start it again. If I join that same lobby and go to the same spot I froze up at. It will do it again.
Event Timeline
Are you experiencing packet loss before DC'ing? Does the entire game crash or the connection to the server? I had a similar problem on the modded servers when I first started playing them.
Turned out to be a corrupt file, I uninstalled and re-installed the game on my PC, then verified the integrity of game files and it resolved the issue.
I don't run any mods so that is off the table. But I have about 2% Packet Loss. Not all the time though. However my main issue was the game freezing.
I verified my files and everything is fine. The DC'ing isn't as much of an issue as the freezing is. I guess I should've just mentioned the freezing.
Hello Mouse7601.
Are these complete shutdown freezes that force you to turn off the game or does the game unfreeze eventually? Or are they short term frezees? Does the freezing occur during specific situation? Have you tried to delete all the content related to Reforger/Uninstall the game and then try to do a clean install? Have you tried another driver version for your GPU drivers to see if it occurs on there? Are you using nvidia geforce xperience for drivers?

Yes these are complete shutdown freezes. Steam can't stop it for me either I have to use Task Manager. It only happens in multiplayer lobbies with people in them. If I die at one base then respawn at another I will most likely freeze. If I go from one base to another point on the map too fast I will freeze. These are the situations I can be sure of. I have verified my files twice before doing a clean install, no success. I have tried switching around my drivers, no success, and yes I use NVIDIA GeForce for them.
