I'm starting to wonder if all this connectivity grief has anything to do with the Steam and UPlay versions of the game. I use the UPlay version.
Is there in fact any differences at all? I'd imagine the actual base game is exactly the same and patches are rolled out simultaneously. But is there perhaps something that Steam does when connecting to the For Honor servers that UPlay does not? I'm thinking perhaps Steam uses its own proxy servers to bounce you to the UPlay ones, therefore if you are in a non-European or US location like I am in South Africa, you might be getting better connections that way?
I'm at a loss. I've tried 4 different physical internet connections, every trick you can imagine including various Proxy servers and sacrificing chickens, and my NAT is still linked to the phases of the moon it seems. I've seen all three but mostly RED and these last few days YELLOW amazingly. GREEN I've seen about 5 times.
I've just spent 27mins waiting for a game that never happened.
