This problem started yesterday and has persisted every time I try to connect to discovery servers, once I connect it immediately goes into red connection and the game doesnt crash but stays about 5 minutes behind, making it impossible for me to play, this cant just be problems with my internet since this has never been a problem before, I havent changed service in the past day, the problem started since yesterday and has PERSISTED, so if anyone can shed any light on the issue I would appreciate it.
You might have to look at using OpenDNS or something, it'll be because of a server that's between you and the game server that's playing up or whatever. Do a tracert to the game server and find the server that's taking the longest to pass on your connection and see if you can contact the server owner to tell them there's something wrong and your connection is being slowed down because of it.
