From my perspective, it's a release thing. These things happen. Sometimes after a major release these things just happen. During the evening (my time) servers just went nuts while jumping from system to system. FDEV made it clear on twitter, something was wrong and they we looking into the issue. As I said, these things just happen when a major patch just drops.
So if you want to do something big after patch day, I would just suggest to wait for it. Just a day. And get on with it. This is just basically how things run these days. Some things are updated, servers (or hamsters) go strike and you have to deal with it.
That's my tea bag for the time being.
Also, a good tip would be, hang out with friends on twitch, or discord. Just chat abit... and have fun with it. That's what I have been doing over the last 24 hours. Just adding this bit the convo (not self promoting, because you have no idea where I am hanging out these days because I reasons).
Anyways fly safe!
