this is from jat on twitter

We've another connection issue we're working through at the moment, you might have seen it previously display an error with 'unet' in the title and a bunch of server info. Hoping to get a client solution out soon related to it

I know its basic but have you reset your Modem/internet connection? Flushed DNS etc?

Only way me and my friend have been able to fix this is by killing me before every time i join the server.

Has anyone found a fix for this? Having the issue after the other person has done everything imaginable with their internet. Countless restarts of their PC and internet. Allowing the game through their firewall. Even went through with the command prompts aswell to completely restart everything. Not sure what else there is to do is ANYONE has found a fix I would greatly appreciate it.

Well, that advice I never tried before - 'kill yourself' =)

Going through it every day. Restarting the router, flashing, cleaning.

When I load within my base, the game shows the wilds as before the base was built, seems like it tries to load assets... I can move around a bit while it happens, then 'lost connection to host'. The next attempt to get into the server (official, unofficial - doesn't matter) - no error message whatsoever, just 'lost connection to host'. Sometimes restarting connection works, sometimes it doesn't. One time BattleEye reacted saying that 'client not responding'.

Servers are not shown as full - barely half full. No packet loss. High speed fiberglass connection. No NAT. Other online games work fine. Single player works fine. Tried to reduce all visual settings to minimum. Turned off DLSS.

Would like to see something changing. This issue ported into ASA from ASE. Looks a bit different but seems similar in essence.

You have perfectly described my issue and everything I’ve tried to tix it with no success. Have you found a fix yet?

I have the same problem and killing my character before I log on works.
But I think that the problem is in the cpu or memory, as when loading ark they both peak, perhaps because they try to load everything at once. I have now gotten to a 80% succes rate at logging on. By optimizing the cpu performance(watch a video on it).
I hope this helps.

Currently going through this exact thing. Genuinely thought the scorched earth patch would fix it

Ive been on 3 servers and cant re enter all 3 due to this issue i see my character with nothing else loading the it says cant connect/lost connection with host etc etc. Why would you start talking about The Centre release when so many ppl are have a ♥♥♥♥ tone of problems with the current game...I JUST WANT TO CONNECT.

Same error here (Lost/Timeout connection to host), single player and officials seem fine but unofficial Nitrado servers can't be connected to.
