Been having a lot of trouble with connecting to servers since release. Every time I join a server, I time out after precaching and have to retry in order to properly join. This game is the only one with this problem, and happens regardless of my router being in DMZ mode.
Lately, I've been unable to establish connections at all. If I happen to load in, I would get a red connection indicator and eventually disconnect. As well, I've been unable to authenticate to a bunch of servers.

Short version: add -tcp to your steam shortcut as a launch option.
Steam's support documents also specifically mention that Steam will not work properly in DMZ mode, so there's no great reason to use that.
