Happened to me a few times when I was on my phone's hotspot, don't think there's a fix but what I did is not swear kick, instead I alt+f4 the game and kill freelancer in the active processes (win 7) or active programs (win 10), wait 5 minutes and relog + dock on the sellpoint before the connection gets clogged again (I always quit the game in front of a station I plan to dock on, usually the final one).
if you get kicked the character file won't update so you will respawn on last visited base and i think the swear kick also applied a tempban for x mins, though i'm not sure of that because i never had to deal with it
about the lag.. it could be because of your ISP or otherwise we would have more peoples reporting the 'problem'
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..
I can confirm.
Kickbans had a X minute delay applied to stop people from using it as a cheaper/quicker alternative to F1ning.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

I guess it's probably my ISP, then, because it really blows. Thanks to you three for teaching me not to swearkick, though; was wondering what's up with that.

So is the only way to fix it to just restart FL every time it happens? Usually that works, but sometimes I'll log in and immediately have issues before I even undock.

It highly depends on the stability of your net and especially packet loss.
