Thats good that its just some glitch, was annoying since I typed out a long message and post on some of my gaming adventures
But yeah, I believed RockStar Games had HughesNet or at least the IP range I was using, blocked. In the future, I think if any HughesNet people have problems activating or playing a game online and it works on VPN...its something more on their end I bet. Oddly, GTA: Online was rather playable for me, only problem was big player related shootouts, but one on one combat, driving, and the different mini-games or whatever you call them, were all functioning. ESPECIALLY the flying ones, im not sure why anything involving flying works so good on satellite
Another fun game to play on satellite is World War Z. It plays wonderfully in Co-op(No drag on my end, and other players didnt notice any problem), AND in versus mode...on PlayStation 4 at least, it seems to favour those with high latency so I ended up defeating other players AFTER they had killed me. Which is just hilarious. But it was still even enough that it wasnt unplayable or a clear nasty exploit
The Battlefield and Battlefront games are nearly completely unplayable though. Only Starfighter battles in Battlefront 2(2017) is playable. The game Don't Starve Together is also unplayable due to latency. Sadly I got some right chunky latency playing Rise of Nations, and Age of Mythology. But the Age of Empires games all work great
