connecting to new world service issue

Can not find match it say waiting for a connection to new world sevices

I've been having the same issue since the hotfix after the 1.6 update. I've only been able to play once in the month since then 😞

I wanna play the bolt action playlist dangit!

No VPN, running build 1.6.2.100202

It'll just say "connecting to new world" incessantly. I've verified game files in steam and reinstalled.

still happening. I can give you whatever data you need, just please help. I'm at a loss on my end and am tired of spending a few hours trying to get the game working any time I want to play. Nothing consistently works, only persistence 😕

Have the same issue ever since. Tried everything to no avail. This made me stop playing since I can no longer customize my character
