Figured out the issue! Hold onto your seat because I have proof that I'm an idiot! 🙂 Apparently Win11 does NOT come with DirectX installed like older versions used to! I downloaded a game on Steam that requires DirectX and when it detected I didn't have it it automatically downloaded it. (Steam is my Bro, takes good care of me. XD ) Booted up the game on my laptop...using a wired connection, so I will have to test it wireless, and it popped on no problems and ran great! Thanks for the help folks!

I have been thinking about getting a VPN anyway, do you have any suggestions?

When I go home Friday from work I Can plug it in to the internet there. If it doesn't work with 1.1gb wired it isn't a bandwidth issue. I'm pretty sure it's something w/ this laptop though as I've logged on from hotels before w/ my desktop and the game worked fine outside some rubber banding.

It's hotel wifi but it should be stable enough, I've used it plenty before. Shards? None of the servers work if that's what that means. I tried all of them. I'll be able to troubleshoot better this weekend when I have access to my home network. Thanks for responding.

I see both. Everything is normal until I have clicked on a server to play and it seems to be unable to connect to any of the servers regardless of player load.

Okay, I play Homecoming on my desktop and it runs just fine. It is a custom build running Windows 10(64). Problem is lugging it around to use while I travel to hotels for work is a pain. So this past weekend I bought a brand new gaming laptop. Asus designed by a company called Republic of Gamers. Off the top of my head it is Windows 11(64) w/ a Ryzen7 6000 series, 16gb DDR4, 1T SSD, Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050TI. It should run CoX just fine. I installed the HC Launcher, DLed the game, verified the files and logged in. All smooth until I try to click on a server to play. Then it just sits on the "Retrieving character list from X" until the server stops responding and times out. Hitting the "back" button generates a "are you sure you want to leave the que?" I have tried turning off all antivirus, running as admin, checking my network...I don't know what else to do and I'd REALLY like to play CoX after work without having to drag my desktop to the hotel w/ me. I can't help but think this is a Win11 issue.
