Searching for logon server (Attempt 20 out of 20 issue) - Then connection timed out?! - Fix?

[Dylan]

Cannot logon to server.. the game gets to attempt 20 out of 20 and times out!

To try and fix the issue I have tried resetting the game in launch settings. I have then tried reinstalling the game. Turned everything off and on again.... all with no luck.

Been trying to fix this for ages now! Does anyone have a fix?

I have tried entering different servers with no luck.

- LOTRO uses Akamai Content Delivery Network still so that could be a problem that you need to allow Akamai to work. Even Updating the launcher calls to Akamai.
