When i first start the launcher it shows the server as online and with players. However when i start up the game it takes a minute to try and talk to the server and comes back as Status: Unknown. Attempting to connect gets me the error:

Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

I went to the support page and tried all of the work arounds and fixes, with a successful ping at about 98-100ms. And i am posting with this with the same computer that i tried to connect to the game with.

I'm not sure what else there is to try, and i am confused as to why the launcher can read the server but the game cant.

(P.s. i turned off my firewall entirely and there was no change)

I really thought the alternate port would do it, but it didnt. :\

I also cleaned out my cache, which didnt help.

I'm about to try a differant internet connection, that my neighbor is providing for everyone within 2-3 houses of him. Unfortunately it is very unreliable because so many people are using it at once and i get dropped alot.
