❔ [ Question ] Borderlands 3 shift disconnecting issues?

So, I've been meaning to buy Borderlands 3 to play with a friend. Based on my experience with Borderlands 2, the thing I hated most was the disconnecting issues related to the SHiFT servers. Do these issues still persist in BL3? If so, does downgrading the game to a pre-SHiFT update version still work as a fix?

well yeah, the needs to reopen the game every 5 to 10 minutes is very distracting.

It's not an issue I experienced in BL3 and I dont remember it being an issue in BL2 at the end of its life cycle.

If it was something that happened to you a lot then it might be on your end.

Only very rarely will the servers disconnect but they will be back up working perfectly again in a few seconds.

You should look into your network environment. IDK where you live, but some countries with extensive internet censorship may block (some of) the game's connectivity, intentionally or not. Try a VPN, if it helps then look into other ways to circumvent the interference.
