Not yet resolved. 🤔
I doubt some other problems is caused by this...
(Like long loading time, lag or main screen issue etc.)
For some reasons, today this issue was worse than before for me. 🤭
I needed to push connect button like 20 times.
Hmm...?
I hear you. I hit 7 times today - much worse than the usual 2-3 attempts.
Once again, no system changes from my original post. Somtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; and the only correlation with the number of attempts seems to be server load. On busy days it takes more tries and on others it automatically connects or connects on the first or second try.
Remember that correlation doesn't always equal causation, though.
Yeah, I can't connect at all right now - same error have tried like 30 times
It usually errors back straight away, when it works it waits a bit to connect
Right now, even when it waits a bit it's failing
I found this twitter today.

Having trouble connecting to your game? We're looking into issues with several of our games and services.
We'll be back with updates as soon as we have them. Thanks for your patience!
But it might be another server problem. 🤔
Any news about this issue? I don't want to be rude or anything, but i find it shameful that a company this big don't care about their services. This is going on for months! I understand that the game is no longer supported, but newcomers or older players are greeted with this issue, lots of them don't know that you need to click about 10 times to even connect is just bad for the buisness and also hurting the playerbase.
For what its worth...
Windows 11 helped with this issue on my rig. While the issue is still there, I don't have to try reconnecting as many times. As well, I've found I can more frequently connect on first attempt.
I wish that was the case. I completed a fresh Windows 10 install on Monday and the issue is as persistant as the day I purchased the game.
I have attempted both my local server (Seattle) and the Auto Selected Server - nothing stops the issue.
I have checked my Event Logs in Windows and there are no network issues.
I have attempted to play from a laptop I own and the same issue persists.
Yeah, it's pretty much table stakes for playing the game, although I'd certainly be curious if there is anyone who never experiences the issue.
The good news is that (at least for me) once connected, I stay connected.
