Let me start off by saying despite all the bugs and wonky server issues, I have been thoroughly enjoying this game. Aside from a few issues that will hopefully get ironed out, like getting swarmed by predators over and over when you finally find an island, or my other raft being stuck in a rock somewhere and unable to spawn on my bed, this game has great potential.
HOWEVER
I FINALLY found some land to claim last night, did a little bit of gathering, and decided to take a quick break (around 10pm MST), since then I haven't been able to connect to any NA servers. I tried both PvP and PvE and I'm met with the following errors every time - despite my attempts at a reboot, power cycling router, VPN for a different IP address, etc. Any one else experiencing this and/or have a workaround?
I've tried lawless regions and freeports on both NA official servers, and no luck so far.
