Hey guys,
I had this problem since day 1 of headstart (no problems during betas).
Today i’ve had no problems whatsoever, either anet fixed it or my new fiddling sorted it.
I changed my DNS to use google DNS, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, whilst launching the game with -clientport 80 on the end of the launch instructions (see earlier suggestion by anet).
If anyone else tries this please let me know if it works or fails for them.
Lethal
