Issues connecting to servers

  There seems to be at least one issue where the client will flood a server with data if it is full. So, as soon as a server hits its max players, it shows up at the top of the list by player count and gets hammered until it's unplayable or dead.
  
  Another issue is some servers simply do not respond at all, even though they show up in the server list (I assume the client queries them directly... didn't bother to check yet).
  
  Keep trying the low-population servers and you'll eventually get in one. Unfortunately, it will start to fill up and you'll lag shortly after.
  
  Probably best to just play with friends in a passworded server for now.

  it seems that there are some glitches in the way the netcode was implemented, causing the server to share much more information than necessary. This causes people to lag out, and due to the fact that servers don't reject connects, even when full, it becomes a problem when the server immediately fills up then gets incredibly laggy from the hundreds of connections
