Awful framerate and lag, apparently due to a bad connection with fat shark servers

Issue Description (Required):

All day today, 1/31/2026, it has said that there is some error/poor connection with the FatShark servers and because of that, my game runs unplayably badly as the framerate looks like going to a damn art gallery. I know that this isn’t a problem with my computer’s hardware, not that I thought it would be, because my computer has run the game very well for the previous 121 hours that I’ve played it. I also can’t figure out what kind of network issue might be occuring because other games run just fine today without any latency or lag, let alone the power point presentation that this game becomes now. I need help troubleshooting at least.

Sorry to hear this @Greenman1904, just to check is the issue still persisting? Just in case it may have been caused by a temporary issue.

After testing again today, yes, the issue is persisting although it is slightly better in that if I suffer through it for a minute, it can run alright but only consistently so in the hub and whenever enemies appear on screen, the framerate tanks to the point of it being unplayable/
