Unplayable since latest update, error 2014, extreme rubberbanding, input lag

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Network & Connectivity Feedback
1

Issue Description (Required):

Every regular and Havoc game I experience constant disconnects with error code 2014, sometimes 2001. Roughly every 30 seconds, rubberbanding begins and disconnect happens soon after. Can happen on the Mourningstar also, seems to depend on the time of day. During one match I experienced extreme rubberbanding multiple times for minutes at a time, but somehow didn’t disconnect.

Hard to tell but seems to happen to me much more than most other players. Game is completely unplayable for me after over 1200 hours of Steam playtime. Issues began immediately after the Nightmares and Visions patch.

I have been a big supporter of the game for a long time (also VT2) and have purchased many cosmetics. Please find a way to put some of my $$$ towards solving this issue, thanks.

Attempted Solutions (Optional):

-Completely reinstalled the game twice (deleted all mods and appdata folders)
-Reset modem to defaut settings (port forwarding was enabled before issue began as per Fatshark’s recommendation)
-Disabled Antivirus
-Closed and uninstalled all extra programs on my PC
-Flushed DNS, many times
-Changed DNS to cloudfare
-Disabled Steam Overlay
-Tried different graphics settings in game, including the new dlss model
-Checked Firewall (exceptions added for darktide before issue began)
-Ran ping tests and checked for packet loss. (My connection is nearly flawless, is wired via ethernet)
-Disabled power saving mode for my ethernet adapter
-Rebooted PC, many times

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

[PC] PC Specifications (Optional):

GPU: RTX 3090)
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7
RAM: 32GB
Dualsense Controller (wired USB)

Came here to say I’m experiencing the same thing. However I tend to get error 2001 more than 2014.

Update:

Finished a clean upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Completely wiped my C: drive. Removed all bloatware and extra programs.

New game update released today, I did a complete reinstall, making sure everything was deleted including registry. Exact same issue persists.
Rubberbanding starts immediately followed by a disconnect (error 2001 or 2014) shortly after joining any match. I am able to reconnect but the issue repeats itself every time. (Mortis Trials is strangely playable about 20% of the time, but otherwise the same occurs). Mourningstar is playable but players are sliding around.

My connection at home is perfect otherwise, no lost packets, no ping issues, 800mb download 20Mb upload speed. Basically a brand new PC with high end hardware. No other game/program has issues. Again, the game worked perfectly fine before the Nightmares and Visions update.

What’s the deal? Am I missing something? What can I do?
If this isn’t addressed very soon I think I’ll be leaving Fatshark games for good.
