Validating with every launch (Steam)

This is still an ongoing issue (30th June).

Was thinking maybe i can run a few maps before work, guess i was wrong.
Considering how long this has been going on, I don't think that GGG is going to fix this, which is rather frustrating. I have also seen people trying to contact support which they just return and say sorry cant offer support right now. Dammit GGG we not asking for technical support, we asking you to fix the damn issue and make you aware of it, because by the looks of it you don't have a clue on what is happening right now.

+1 Same Issue and from South Africa.

+1 Same Issue still here and from South Africa.

From South Africa and experiencing this everytime

Still same issue....

Same issue since patch, still happening

Same issue....

Same here.
Playing on Frankfurt servers mostly.

I was actually trying to fix another issue (Shader / CPU spikes on Deli maps and big pack sizes) with an AMD 5900x and now this shit. I re-enabled PBO in BIOS to test and switched XMP profiles. On first launch after this, the validating happened, not sure how this makes any sense.

I am NOT sane anymore, exiles..

Same issue here. I'm always hopping between several EU servers.

+1 happened the first time today to me, played on the same server for a while.
