I have noticed a tendency. Did a little research and this is what I got.
First of all, a huge game was started with 8 people (I believe it's called scotland and it's pretty gigantic).
My laptop immediately started using more CPU and after a few minutes even the fans turned on.
Then, the game started lagging, sometimes more sometimes less. I never got disconnected, but lags is what I encounter a lot.
While playing the game, I checked what processes were using the game so much. Turns out it was the Flash-plugin which is used for Vortex Wars. There are solutions on the internet for some cases (Adobe Flash fixes). Search for "Flash using too much CPU" if you are having that problem (you can check it in Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete))
It could be that the lags in your computer are cause by the Flash overriding the computer processes. Other than that and weak internet connection, I have no other explanations for your disconnections
