Connection to Bethesda.net Prior to August 22th update, there was no way to connect to Bethesda.net, the game was freezing to the point it needed a complete reboot. Now, at login, the game will freeze, but you can quit the game and relaunch it. You should now be connected and able to browse mods.

Overall (online):Excellent

Online is seamless, though I don't believe you can sort by server location, so you have to sort through all the 200+ ping games.

I tend to use source ports whenever I replay DOOM, but I might just stick with these from now on. Turning off VSync gets rid of the input lag, and from there it's solid. The new campaign, Legacy of Rust, works as expected too (and it rather great).
