@MattHarvey0202 @bstategames why when I launch my game from inside the launcher, it just spins and the game never opens. I have to either sign out or restart and try again. Sometimes it takes about 3 tries. Any suggestions? As this is a very frustrating issue.

@vashnare @CLG_HotshotGG @bstategames The server issues are getting better after the influx of players. Had some solid raids lately with no problems. ?

@kodai_sneaky @wiamorTV @JazzCabbage__ @bstategames It isn’t possible to connect to servers if your ping is over 150 unless you join a friend who has those servers selected and what will happen is you will disconnect a lot so it legit is not possible to be over 150 ping unless your in a server that your friend is on
