Its 23.00 hrs GMT and it is still happening. I have found ...as mentioned in several places ....if you keep trying the CONNECT ....it will eventually will connect. It may take 2-3 tries or in excess of 10 but eventually it connects. Its almost if you are being queued?
Put this in a notepad, save as .cmd and run it as Admin. Then try to connect, accept the error message, and keep trying until it connect. That was my case, and now I'm online.
Text for the script:
**********************************
@echo off
NETSH INTERFACE IPV4 RESET
NETSH WINSOCK RESET
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log
echo You now have to reboot your PC!
pause
**********************************
Finish!
Have Nice Game!
The only issue with that solution is that "Just keep trying until you connect" is the only part that seems to be necessary to fix it.
Now the game has completely stopped launching.
And I'm getting this error about "Upstream Service Unavailable".
So I ran the .cmd setup that @Im_CtrlAltDel posted a total of 3 times, launching the game in between this, and after the third time it seemed to work as the game loaded in and connected.
Thank you good sir.
I am experiencing this issue for a few weeks now as well. I need to click a few times on the connect button to be able to play online.
