Dunno what you all are whining about but if you just load into the server directly without going through the lobby you can play fine, i've been playing yesterday the whole day and today aswell already without any issue, and no i don't use any VPN and no i don't live in russia, so mayby it's just that you want to whine...
It works for me, so it has to work for someone else That's exactly how the IT world is working
