hi i keep disconnecting from the voobly lobby im in. not the individual rooms for games but the lobby where it displays all the games in progress and waiting for players etc. this happens alot when im not in a game and it only happens in game to me when one of the other player drops off. but it always definitly happens to me when another player drops which means if one player drops i drop as well. this is very annoying and i need help to fix it.
You'll need to do a network diagnostics.

Click begin scan.
Screenshot it and upload it here : [You must login to view link] | Or you can copy/paste the results there.

Attempting to connect to 3 test servers. This will take around a minute to complete...
Received data from 'server 2' through port 16000 (this is your WAN or router port)
Received data from 'server 1' through port 16000 (this is your WAN or router port)

About network issues while you're playing, you'll have to necessarly forward the 16000 UDP port to your computer. You can ask the owner of the router to do so, but there is no way that you can do unless it's via the router you're connected in.
