persistent connection problem on the Discovery server

Greetings Dear Pilots,

I am having a persistent connection problem on the Discovery server and I would like to ask for help because I have already gone through the obvious local troubleshooting steps.

Problem:
I can start Discovery normally, log into the server, and select my character without any issue. The loading process completes and I enter the game world, but after about 1–2 seconds I get disconnected with the message:

“The connection to the server has been lost. This can happen if your internet connection is interrupted or if the server is experiencing difficulties. In rare cases, anti-virus software or firewalls may interrupt the connection to the server.”

Important detail:
The disconnect does not happen before character selection. I can reach the server and choose the character. The problem happens only immediately after the character has loaded in.
I have Windows 10.
What I already tried:
1. I checked my antivirus software (ESET Internet Security).
2. I created a firewall allow rule for Freelancer.exe in ESET.
3. I added the Discovery folder as an exclusion in ESET.
4. I confirmed that DSAce.dll is present and was not deleted by ESET.
5. I tested even after temporarily disabling ESET, but the same disconnect still happened.
6. I performed a completely clean reinstall of Discovery.
7. I tested again after reinstall, with the same result.
8. I did not change router settings, public IP, or advanced network configuration because I wanted to rule out the simple client-side causes first.

Additional note:
At this point, because the issue still happens even after a clean reinstall and after the ESET checks, I suspect this may no longer be a simple local installation issue. It may possibly be related to the specific character, account, ID, or a server-side disconnect condition.

Character name:
Favenius_Ricus
Question:
Could someone please check whether there is anything wrong with this character, my account, or my ID on the server side, or whether there is any known reason why I would be disconnected immediately after loading into the game?

Thank you very much.
