I am pretty calm, however there's only so long I can take MA's incompetence without giving them a piece of my mind, and with this bullshit going on for over 1 year, I'm sure they're well deserving of what I said. Heck I even held back on writing more, because I didn't want the post to get deleted.
And yes, obviously I have tried the fix from last time.
No, my internet works absolutely perfectly with everything else. We have established last time we fixed this problem that the issue is on MA's side, not mine. They simply managed to fuck something up about the client loader with this VU. Last VUs went just fine, just this one is this fucking nightmare, so it's not just because the game updated.
I'm fairly sure the reason there aren't more people from Brazil playing EU is because the client loader picks a broken server for the people here, since it's based on location. I already notified MA of this, and edited a file in windows to force my CL to connect to a different server, which fixed the problem last time. I have no idea what they managed to screw up this time.
I tried both with and without that file, to no avail. No idea what they fucked up this time, cause when I try pinging the server I get pretty normal results with no packet loss at all yet it still won't download. I got an error message once or twice after leaving it running for who knows how long and it seems to be those stupid shared_platform .pak files' fault, still.
