As of yesterday, my game started receiving a lot of reports of players not being able to connect to the game. (ID = 17; Connection attempt failed) (Error Code: 279). I’ve experienced the issue myself multiple times in a row, and it can happen on any device on multiple different internet connections. I haven’t yet been able to replicate this issue by joining other experiences.

Some additional info, I believe it usually happens when a group of players are teleported into a round using TeleportService:TeleportToPrivateServer().
But it’s not exclusive to that as it also happens when players just join the lobby from the website or the Roblox app, or when they teleport back to the lobby after a round.
On a successful connection, the game loads pretty much instantly. But sometimes it’ll take 20-30 seconds, and then show the disconnect popup.
