Additional Notes

I believe this issue may be caused either by my internet provider, or by the game connecting to a region different from what is set in the Editor

Also, I have a good internet connection and this error only occurs when connecting to an edit session. If I create a code for playtesting, everything launches without issue.

Same issue!

First I had bunch of libcurl errors, I fixed them. Now every time I try to launch a live session “connection timeout error” happens

this is so frustrating. I can’t normally work on my project for almost 2 weeks. Please take a look at this issue @Flak

Maybe it is related to geo positioning, but how to fix this issue

@CUBE are you in Russia?

Upd: live session connects if you use VPN but after 10 sec of play “editor disconnected”

New error appeared even before matchmaking

Да

Please take a look at this issue @Flak we have not been able to log into editing sessions for over a week.
