Voobly help

Hi all,

Looking for some help with Voobly. I bought a new HP laptop (can provide the model etc if that helps) and installed it.

It sometimes launches successfully but most of the time it starts lagging extremely while joining the game lobby. It usually says program not responding but sometimes it glacially lets me join or host a game.

Of note, once I get into a game, gameplay itself is fine.

I’ve checked firewall and uninstalled/reinstalled. It’s driving me crazy. Please help?
