This has been happening since they dropped support.
Every couple of weeks the multiplayer servers just start taking a loooong time to get in to. Usually the problem goes away after a couple of days. Lately the issue has just not been fixed at all, its been like this for a whole week now.
The lobby just says that "Connecting to server..." but nothing seems to be happening. Eventually tho youll get to loading screen and in-game, it just often takes anything from 5 to 20 minutes. And usually after this time someone has alredy left and the game is ruined.
From observing the behaviour over the past couple weeks I think I have a suspicion as to what the culprit is: A memory leak.
The server works fine for weeks but then gets worse and worse over time, if its not a log/record file based problem it has to be a memory leak in the server software.
Just today the server got so bad we kept being kicked out of lobby rooms but thankfully it looks like they restarted the software and its starting to work properly again.
Thank you for fixing it for now.
