Soft lock on loading screen after spectating match

[knife831]

When I try to spectate a game from the movie room in the hideout, I will connect to the match and be able to watch it for a minute or two. Then I seem to disconnect from the server and land on an infinite loading screen. I pulled some text from the console that might be helpful, but I'm not smart when it comes to how this stuff works. Also attached a video.

same, when encounter this situation, I‘ll type disconnect in console, can back hideout and than I'll reconnect stream, but few moments later it will disconnect again. fortunately, most of the streams are normal, with only a few showing issues. I usually choose to skip the problematic stream.

oh, hell, just these days after I posted this comment, it's happening on multiple streams now, need fix

Yes it still happens to me for every match I try to watch. Very consistently disconnects after 2 minutes or so. I wonder if it is an ISP issue, because the same thing happens when I try to view CS2 matches through HLTV: drops me after a couple minutes of spectating.

Getting this recently as well, similar messages in the console.

Fix this PLEASE. I made a bug report. People want to watch their friends play.

I can also attest to this, happened to me at least half a dozen times when trying to watch match 43291647
I'm hoping it's an overly aggressive anti-bot measure that'll be fixed soon, it's very annoying.
