Every time I go to connect to online server, the game times out. Anyone else having this issue?

It sounds like perhaps you have not authorised the game through any firewall you are running?

Facing the same problem since a day or two too. Had no issues before.

Note that if you update the game then firewall will often block the changed EXE, you may need to reauthorise (assuming that the problem is firewall related of course).

Personally I have to run the game in windowed mode to get my firewall "allow connection?" popup to show up (ESET Smart Security). After checking the "always allow for this application" I can connect in full screen as well of course.

So if you are used to getting a firewall permission popup and you don't get one here, try windowed mode first.
