[2023] Frequently unable to join public games?

I've been having significant issues with connecting to public matches on PS5 for a couple weeks now. I searched online for solutions, and only found discussions that were over a year old. I have tried the following paths to try and fix the issue:

• Ensured that my NAT Type was 2
• Restarted modem and router multiple times
• Disabled UPnP
• Forwarded ports for PS5 that were discussed online
• Restarted PS5, DRG itself, and checked my internet connection each time it occured, and each time my internet was reported to be working

Is anyone else encountering issues like this? I have about a 1/20 rate of success joining matches. I love DRG and want to play it, but dealing with this has been seriously frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any tips you all might have!
