I tried most of these work arounds and still was suffering from disconnects. Added one more thing that may have helped: Deactivate the 2nd monitor! In Windows, under display settings, multiple displays, instead of extend, set it to Show Only on 1. In addition to this, I used the following suggestions from the above comments: command line set to use port 443; limit framerate to 60; use windowed fullscreen mode. I don't know if this was just coincidental luck, but twice this week when the 2nd monitor is not engaged, I have been able to get through a story that previously disconnected. Hope this helps.
