The server may be experiencing hickups.
  • Check with other players to see if they are receiving the same or similar error messages. The server may be experiencing issues.
  • In case of a server crash, the server will restart automatically within a few minutes.
Your internet connection might be experiencing issues.
  • If you are using wifi, try switching to a internet via network cable.
  • If you are receiving this error randomly, your connection might not be stable. Try using a VPN to see if it allows you to play without receiving the error. If it works fine with a VPN, your router/modem might be experiencing issues. Contact your internet provider.

This appears to also be caused by VPNs.

For me, I use NordVPN and have Split Tunneling enabled for Steam. While BO's exe was not. This caused the above issue. Once BO's exe was added to the list. I now have no issue.
