Empty Server List (Already Tried Previous Suggestions)

I've tried launching the game several times this evening (after a hiatus of about two months; everything was working fine then), only to be met each time with an empty server list. I've tried repairing the launcher and game, restarting my computer, resetting my date and time, and I don't have antivirus or firewall on (so that's not the issue); nothing has worked.

Also, I've checked and all the servers are up, and my internet is working fine as far as I can tell.

Does anyone have any potential solutions to offer?

    @proxos666

    Thanks for your help last night!

    Since then I've deleted my old installation, re-installed it (using this PlayOnMac guide; wine version 3.10-staging, with d3dx9_36 and crypt32, Windows version set to Windows 10), and downloaded the game again.

    That didn't fix my problem.

    Nor did connecting to a different network (local xfinity hotspot; network worked fine for regular internet browsing and stuff).

    It's possible there's a firewall on that hotspot, but there's not much I can do about that, I guess.

    Also, here is a sample ping I just performed:

    @Coirbidh 

    if the ping responds it should reach the list 

    have you thought about a different version of wine staging ? https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13553 is the only thing not changed at this point

    https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34946 seems to indicate 6.0-rc3-staging

    notes just have 

    With wine 6.0 staging everything works fine, but you may need to run:

    winetricks d3dcompiler_47 d3dx9_41

    The only other thing is your previous post you mention "Windows version set to Windows 10)"  i would suggest windows 7 as a trial instead of 10

    @proxos666

    I haven't tried 6.0-staging or 6.0-rc3, but I did try using 4.19-staging and that didn't help.

    I'll try 6.0 next.
