Thanks for the reply.
I don't think my drivers need updating, but I'll check. Game is bought and downloaded through Steam (years ago). FAF should be on latest update, I'll try that trick you mentioned. Not using any mods, and I don't mess with the game files.
It must be my internet. I played another match and almost got ejected twice due to lost internet connection, but somehow reconnected after a minute both times. It really sucks if this is the case, because I'm not sure there's much I can do about it.
Dam 😞
