Here is what I won't do:
Restart router
Restart PC
Update anything
Reinstall anything
And yes I checked verify game files.
This bug, and it is a bug, happens on all official hive servers for me, and only after 20 minutes of trying sometimes it let's me through. My connection has a ping to the server I play on listed as 24 ping in the server browser. It does not happen on private hives. And switching between private hives and official hives does not fix it. And my internet connection test says I have a very fast connection to the provider, (15 ping).
So what is causing this bug, it would be great if BI could fix it. This is a bug specific to this game, no other game, of which some have ping limits kicks me off for high ping. My connection is ok, something in the ping checking on BI side is faulty. Because the error messages report a ping of 400-700, which is not the real ping.
