Barotrauma works fine whenever I launch it, but when I try to join a server or search for updates or really do anything related to anything online, it doesn't work. When I attempt to join a server, it says "failed to join the master server (timeout)" or something along those lines.

Is it an issue with how I've installed the game? What gives, in this case? I have a perfectly good Ethernet connection and multiplayer games have never been an issue in the past.

this means master server is down. it goes down once in a while
