Impossible to connect to the server with slow internet connection to the server (tested on TOPS, happened for multiple players with the same reproduce actions)
Not sure is it actually linked somehow to the actual weather system on the server, but my theory that's the issue is probably happens because of network thread starts the world too late, and game is trying to access object reference that's not set due to slow internet speed (Not related to UDP tho, for UDP i think it gonna be something else, packet race or something, idk)
Happens everyday for my friend, happens to me during internet outages (when internet is slower than it should be) in almost 100% cases (and also game reinstall doesn't help)
How to reproduce
Limit internet speed to around 100-150 kbp/s (12-18 kb/s)
Connect to the TOPS
See the 'Connected to server, downloading data...' title with very slow data receiving (~20kb/s)
