More like just hate having satellite to connect with. Over 3 Hours and still no connection. And yes i do have multiple Updaters open. Maybe by the time the event is over I'll be able to play. Save me Some treats.

Would be nice if they would make the Updater more Satellite friendly.

The likelihood of that is low. It's the company's official position that Satellite internet and it's inherent latency is what's to blame in connecting and playing, and there's not much they can do about that.

"Fixing" the updater to have more forgiving tolerances would just give more people the hope that satellite is ok for gaming, when in a lot of cases it isn't

Now im the noobest techno dude out there, but surely if the problem started once you got a new PC its related more to your PC than the updater?
