difficulty joining games

Is it me or is anyone else constantly getting the "not connected to the internet, please try again" message when trying to join games?
My internet is full strength where my computer is at...

There's nothing wrong with your connection. You'll get this error for any of the following reasons:
1) You join a game, leave, and join another game too fast.
2) You try to join a game that doesn't exist.
3) You type the wrong password for a game.

When this happens you need to wait for whatever the timeout is before it will let you in again.

worst part is, 2) & 3), triggers 1). Like you have been joined a game.

We had that issue yesterday.
I made 2 trades with ppl from america (im from europe) and we cant join each others game.
Doesnt matter if there was a password or not - we tried to join each other via fl and also with gamename/pw and even an open game, no one of us created - always "game doesnt exist" or "w8 until u can enter the next game idiot".
We try to trade it today, but that s*ckd tbh.

Try trading with new characters, seems the bug is due to old chars.

a friend of mine had the bug, and could only join with a mule.
