Crashes/Disconnects while zoning

[Ekco]

Network Routing Problems: The issue you're describing is a classic symptom of a network routing problem between your internet service provider (ISP) and the Project 1999 server. Your data packets might be taking an unstable or congested path, causing the connection to drop during the critical zoning phase. The most common solution for this is to use a VPN. A VPN reroutes your internet traffic, bypassing the problematic path and often providing a more stable connection.

Saturated Internet Connection: High-bandwidth usage from activities like 4K streaming, large downloads, or other online gaming within the household can saturate your internet connection. While Project 1999 itself doesn't use a lot of data, the game's old networking code is sensitive to intermittent packet loss or latency spikes caused by a congested connection. This can lead to a crash while zoning.

Any idea why this problem specifically seemed to start post V61 install then? Pure coincidence? Nothing has changed from my ISP or otherwise. I even restarted my router just to make sure and still get crashes. I'm on a 500 Mb up/down connection that's very reliable and I'm the only one using it, so I know the bandwidth is not the problem.
