Sometimes when I join servers, I randomly get stuck on "Connecting to server" with the message beneath saying "no answer from server yet". I thought it was maybe a port conflict or something on my end, but today I figured out a workaround: every time this happens, I can just tab out of the game and tab in, and then it will connect. If I don't do this, it's stuck forever on "connecting to server". I thought it was a DDNet GER2 issue only, but it happened on a KOG server just now, and figured out by accident that Alt+tab and back in solves it.
client: version 18.8 on win64 amd64
client: git revision hash: 656d179f61c86c95a35d8bd40e2445aacbadda4c
I run the game in "Fullscreen" (not borderless) because I like that it is able to minimize upon alt+tab. I have a slight suspicion this might be related.
I wrote a bit about it yesterday here: https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/342454474117218334/1320163764456128623 where I also included a screenshot.(edited)
yeah it's sad xd
i have to deal with that every day.
biggest problem in modern software is, that it's always hard to know who caused the problem in first place.
Is it a bug in your app, or a driver or even hardware bug (even tho rare).
Additionally on windows everything is closed source, so a normal dev like me cannot debug the exact reason.
But in your case it sounds either like you are missing a graphics driver or a driver update enabled forced vsync to save energy ^^
