Cannot join a server (connecting to server)

Issue #513 closed
Christian Neff created an issue

Hi folks,

So when I try to join a server my client recieves the server information and when it gets to 90 to 100% i get a message that says "Connecting to Server"

Now when that happens the game seems to stutter a little and the "Survive the Nights" watermark shows up in the top right of the screen. (The connecting to server, the stutter, and the watermark showing all happen basically at the same time)

If I alt-tab here and come back the entire screen is black with the watermark at the top right of the screen. (I'm assuming this is what the loading screen looks like)

I hear music and maybe even ingame noise (not sure) but the screen never changes from this.

Here are my specs. CPU AMD FX-8320 GPU 2X 660 TIs RAM 16 (4x4) Corsair Vengence MB Sabortooth R2.0 Boot Drive 128 SSD 1x1 TB HDD 1x0.5 TB HDD Windows 8.1

Any help would be appreciated. I'd really like to get in game and run around a bit. :)

-Christian

    Okay. Well I decided to try and join one last time before I quit and the server I was trying to join isnt there...

    So I guess its entirely possible that server was having issues or something when I first tried to join about 15-20 minutes ago. It was the only Windows server.

    Still having this issue. It was not because of the server shutting down. I just tried to join the Windows Server #2 and I'm stuck at the same point I described as before.

    How long should joining a server take? Its now been a few minutes and no change.

    I've tried both US Windows servers with the same results.

    I'm wondering if maybe this is a internet issue.

    I use a phone for tethering (I live on a mountain with no hard lines). That being said I am able to play DOTA, CS:GO, and many other games without issue.

    I will try a VPN and see if that makes these servers like me.
