Like others - UK user suddenly can't join games

Same issue as others. Cant connect.

VPN fixes it but then stuck with laggy VPN which disconnects during game - whats the real fix?

The solution is to call your internet service provider and tell them to get their shit sorted. We have plenty of reports coming in from UK and all from the same provider.

I'll tell them to 'sort their shit'. I assume thats technical help and they will know what to do

Well the error already gives you everything you need.

@reaperrsx said in Like others - UK user suddenly can't join games:

Connection timed out: no further information: hydra.faforever.com/116.202.155.226:443

Tell them you have issues connecting to this domain.
