Unable to see servers

[Straws]

Hey all.

Every so often I will encounter a strange bug that prevents me from seeing any servers in the server list. It says that I am connecting to the global server though nothing actually appears. If I try and refresh the list or return to the main menu my game will freeze and I'll have to open up task manager and end process. I've tried restarting my game, running it as admin and running with anti-virus disabled but the only fix I've found so far is a complete restart of my computer.

To me this sounds like freelancer is clashing with something else on my computer but I don't know what that could be. If anyone has any ideas or solutions, that'd be great.
