[2019] Me and loads of my friends (18 other players) Have all been getting connection issues since last night and it just started again today about 2 hours ago

Which ISP are you with, @HappyPepeTheFrog?

There appears to be a pattern emerging in which customers of the ISP Virgin have been experiencing connectivity issues in Vermintide 2.

I’d recommend that you reach out to Virgin Media and explain your issues, as this seems to be isolated to the ISP.
