Alright so, here's my story: I installed BTW around a year ago when I saw it become popular, started playing and absolutely loved it, though player count was always and issue, that's beside the point here. I enjoyed the game, loved hopping on everyday to play as some Germans and stab some Frenchie's or play as a Frenchie with a Lebel and pop a German from 2 clicks out. Absolutely amazing. But then something changed. Some update came out, specifically the patch with the British faction and everything DIED. I couldn't join servers at all, I could install the game, play the firing range completely fine but servers? NOOO couldn't join at all. I would try to connect to them, to no avail. After about 6-8 minutes of loading screen it would just bring me back to another loading screen then to the main menu. This problem has persisted for months now. I have tried everything in my power to fix this issue, I have tried reinstalling, restarting game, PC, Router, tried verifying game files, tried changing some options in my firewall, tried using a VPN, hell I even tried changing my ports and options in my network adapter. NOTHING WORKS. Why can I not join servers and why can I not play the game anymore? Can anybody help me? I know my PC is lower tier but this is ridiculous.

So for some context: I currently run the game on an Intel(r) Core(tm) i5-7400 CPU with a GTX 1040 Graphics card, with 16gb of ram. It appeared the game ran fine before the update, seemed to be optimized and very well suited for my PC, better then post Scriptum and squad graphics wise with stability(Of course Squad having the better stability of both but that's beside the point). It appears that every time I join a server, I will be able to play for about a minute or so, or not even play at all, and it will just disconnect me for no reason, along with that the almost unbearable lag that comes from the servers. It may be a latency issue(Im in AU connecting to US and EU servers), but before the update it was fine. How do I fix this issue and what could it be? Does anybody else experience random disconnects?
