Update on my experiences with this latest patch: Mostly when I go to the play online page (one that shows list of servers) I get the "Lost Online Connection" dialog. Mostly. If I keep trying, I do sometimes get in without the error. Pings showing are all still mostly bogus / inflated values for some reason. So I cannot connect 'normally' to the server I play on. Offical #1500. If I get past the bogus "Lost Online Connection" error, I can use the direct connect button, and I can connect to my official server. Only reason I can do this, is the IP:port was cached at: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/conanexiles/2918520 and the IP address is still valid. Battlemetrics and Steam server access is completely busted after this patch, so using the Steam features for direct connect doesn't work. And finally, I've had the game crash twice on my in the last two weeks. Before this patch I had been playing for about 4 months, zero crashes. Exact same setup before/after patch. Windows 8.1, 16GB memory, Fast AMD CPU and GPU. Funcom, please fix this mess!
