Cannot play multiplayer -- kicked to tavern

75% of the time I cannot join a game, whether it's via the browser or joining on a friend.  I typically get kicked back to Tavern, but sometimes to the main screen.

When I do end up in the game, I can never play more than one round.  Sometimes at round start, sometimes at round end, I get kicked back to Tavern.  

Every time, this error regarding FBITReader is in the log file.  I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this and the only search results show UnReal Engine issues from 2-3 years ago.

Nope.  Nothing like that.  Hardwired right in on a brand new motherboard (ASUS Z490-F Gaming).  Even updated the LAN drivers.

I uninstalled steam and the game, then reinstalled steam and the game on a brand new Windows account.  Played 1 wave, then got kicked to tavern.  This is what's in the log:

COmpletely off subject, but you should change your display name so it's not your email.

What's your Steam name, you don't hve any non alphanumerics in it?

Nope, it's the same as my email; roysta

And no weird symbols in any of my hero names either, just letters

FYI - after much troubleshooting, turns out the culprit was ASUS GameFirst VI, trying to "optimize" my network.  After disabling, I have not experienced any issues and played multiple online games.

This info may help some other folks in future, thank you for sharing the resolution!
