@Henry, I really doubt anyone could afford a reliable vpn as well as operate it properly in order to fix this. I'm experiencing the "loads only a few chunks, doesn't allow world-interaction then kicks you with the error after about 30s" issue, but with additional details on the note. Either way, we all receive the same message at the end. Do you know any other possible solutions?
Someone has to start working on this ASAP. A popular issue that cannot be overlooked.
I'm having the same symptoms as Isaac, however, I'm able to play from around 1:30AM to I'm assuming at least 4AM without the error and the connection being fine. Then during day time, it reappears again.
