Is it just me or.... Server Talk

[OddGamer 17]

has the amount of time to join a server quadrupled, or even longer. Multiple steps two, first waiting for the host, and then the loading screen gets stuck then waiting for the server then creating a character.. Like its a joke sometimes the amount of time im waiting just to get inside a server. So is it just me or are you guys having the same issue as I am?

Sometimes it happens to me. Usually right after a new update.

Yeah I find I have the same problem, mostly with full-capacity servers. Though it's something I'm used to now.

You can just Alt-Tab out and let it do its thing, as that won't stop it.

Just be patient. most of the time you'll get into the game. Sometimes you have to wait 3+ minutes to do it but you'll get in. I've personally never had to wait more than 6 or 7 minutes to get into a server. I don't think that's too much to ask considering how long I'll be playing.
