I had same thing hours ago.
I did not even spend waiting it out, I moved on.
Try again in 10 minutes.
I did a couple of hours and got back in however the lag has been around for days and I think it is everyone because I see a lot of people standing around in the hunting area and then all of a sudden start shooting just like I do and it is because of the lag. May have something to do with the routing from the US.
