Now, I got passed the connecting part but it hangs at the character select screen. No characters are shown, can't press any button then shortly after it disconnects. I saw someone else had the same issue in another post below. Also noticed he is on console, like me. I wonder if this is a console only issue?
Has anyone figured out why this is happening? Wouldn't be able to try any of the suggestions from the other post because it sounds like PC stuff (VPN, port forwarding etc).
