Travel Bug / Game Paused / Unexpected Disconnection

After the latest patch, when I try to travel from my hideout to a map or vice versa, the game gets stuck after loading the new map or hideout, showing “game paused.” My only solution is to restart the game. If I wait for a while, it sends me back to the main menu and gives an “unexpected disconnection” error. Sometimes, when I first launch the game and try to select my character to log in, the loading screen keeps spinning GGG logo indefinitely, but the map doesn’t load. I have to restart the game again. When the game gets stuck with the “game paused” message, I check my ping in the options menu, and it shows a value around 14,000.

This issue first occurred after the update in early January but was fixed afterward. However, it has returned with the latest patch (0.1.1c and 0.1.1d).

I tried playing using Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS, but nothing changed. Disabling crossplay makes a very slight improvement, but then I can’t trade but again game still stucks when changing a map. The gateway option is set to the closest EU server, which is Frankfurt. However, selecting “Auto” doesn’t change anything either.

I rebuilt the database on my PS5, but it didn’t help. I’ve also deleted and reinstalled the game like a milion times, yet nothing changed.

My PS5 Pro is connected to the internet via cable. I also tried playing the game via Wi-Fi, but nothing changed. Right now, the game is unplayable for me. I really want to play, but I just can’t. I have zero problem with my other online games. ZERO!

I just tried to do a run at the Temple of Chaos, but when I attempted to enter, after loading the temple it got stuck again, showing “game paused.” As a result, I lost 2 inscribed ultimatums for nothing.

What can I do to play this game like a normal person. I know it is an early access game but it's frustrating. Does anyone have similar issue ?

patch 0.1.1e came and nothing changed.
