Game keeps saying I abandoned and gives me the loss??

I have been trying to play today, and every game I am half way through, it awards me the loss saying I abandoned the game. In the last instance, I was waiting for my opponent to move. As soon as he had made his move, and it switched to my turn... boom I lost. I didn't abandon anything, I didn't even have a chance to do anything. This has happened 5 times today and is really annoying. 

 

Has anyone else had this problem? Or know why it keeps doing this?

Many have the problem. They get disconnected and lose the game.

There are connection settings in live chess settings which may help.

I am not getting disconnected. It has only started happening since they added the little function that askes if you are still there. Even though i click yes when it has appeared. I still abandons my game even if it doesnt show. Its extremely annoying and has ruined it for me. As noe i am guaranteed to lose every time i play
