There seems to be a new issue which just started happening yesterday. I can log in, but chat doesn't show up. If I try to chat, other people can see what I say, but I can't see what they say unless I view the server from the live map. After about 20 seconds or so, live map says I've left the game. About 10-15 seconds after that, I actually leave the game and get sent to the lobby. In the lobby, I get the same issues, but I don't lose connection. After about 30 seconds or so, everything catches up and starts playing normally. Problem is that I'm in the lobby and you can't do very much in the lobby. If I try to switch back, the same thing happens and it sends me back to the lobby again.
I was last able to log on at about 5:00am last night, so if anything was different then from how it is now, that's probably where the problem is.
