I have tried literally a dozen different ways to try and fix this problem and I have been unable to progress past the loading screen to get into a game in STW and Creative mode. It does not matter if I am in a party, joining a friend, joining a random game, making my own game, trying to enter my own ssd; it is still the same result - I cannot get into a game.
In creativemode I get the loading screen for a longer time than usual then I get this error before I'm booted back to the main menu: "Not enough player successfully joined the match in time". I am not in a party and I'm trying to enter my own map which is empty so I assume its timing out on me joining.
In STW I just get the infinite loading screen unless I'm trying to join my friend's ssd and they leave while Im stuck in the loading screen, it then immediately throws up the error "client failed to register with server" which tells me my game is still in contact with the server and it hasnt hung.
Onto the things that I tried to fix this error and I spent literally hours of my time and my friends time who tried to help me fix this error to no avail. This is what I tried:
trashed 2/3 of my backpack so only 1/3 of the space is used.
Started the game in Admin mode
killed nvidia stuff in task manager
turned off all nvidia crap
Updated to latest nvidia drivers
Checked and installed latest windows updates
restarted the computer and launcher dozens of times
spamming the escape key during the loading screen
Tried to manually switch eac to battleeye. This was a very involved process and took me hours and trying multiple different things and attempts. Maybe this one is problem because I wasnt actually able to switch from eac to battleeye and i tried 3 different ways. 1. uninstalled eac and hope the game would pick the other. 2. manually start the game with the be executable. 3. changing my machine code.
Tried verifying the game multiple times

We believe we have a fix for this and the long loading in BR.
The quick summary is that there is some new code in dedicated server that tries to replicate a ton of data in a single frame saturating connections and resulting in massive packet loss which is not being handled gracefully by client / server interaction so client is waiting on server packets for a long time.
We have a fix that is being tested right now that we hope to deploy (backend-only) in the next few hours.
