Unable to create campaign with VPN but also can't load program without a VPN

Describe the Bug
I had recently bought and installed Talespire but found that I was unable to create a campaign as it was “Finding best server for [my] region”. I figured this was due to me using a Surfshark VPN so I had turned it off to see if that fixed the issue.

Then when I restarted Talespire, I found that I was unable to load in as the hourglass kept spinning till it eventually crashed.

So if I turn the VPN on, I could load in but not create a campaign but if I turned the VPN off, I wouldn’t be able to load in at all.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Turn on Surfshark VPN

  • Install Talespire on Steam

  • Add “-popupwindow” into the Steam Properties Launch Options (so that the application could fit onto the screen)

  • Launch Talespire

  • Set UI Zoom to 1.25%

  • Turn down Master Volume to 25%

  • Click “Begin” and create a campaign called “Tester”

  • Turn off the Surfshark VPN

  • Launch Talespire

  • Watch a spinning hourglass for 10 to 15 seconds before the application crashes

Additional Context
I can’t wait for a solution to these issues since I am very excited to start using Talespire for my games.
