2) Changing your DNS

If restarting your router does not work, you can look to change the DNS of your ISP by accessing your network adapter settings, and then clicking on Properties. Under IP settings, you must click on Edit and then switch it to a manual DNS.

You will then need to enter 1.1.1.1 as your Preferred DNS and 8.8.8.8 as the Alternate DNS. This particular step seems to have worked for many players within the community.
