Problems with connecting to any servers/Text issues

[Exploration]

To solve the text overlapping, ingame change th resolution to 1024x768x32 (the default maximum resolution). Then exit the game. Using the Launchpad, change resolution to what you want. Be sure not to touch resolution from the Options menu of the game, that is what screws up text size.

As for the connection issue, try using a new account and see if it works. I don't know what else to suggest, as you've tried doing many things already.

Fixed the internet issue, seems my antivirus was still active when i turned it off, had to totally uninstall it.

And thanks for the tip with the text sizes, worked a treat.
