Note: I have simultaneously been afflicted by the issue mentioned in #3714 regardless of network or WiFi connection, however using a VPN service negates the issue.
Also Note: Comment issue started after uninstalling and reinstalling NP.

Yeah me too, but only when I use G4 internet connection, work fine with WiFi, any good news for this issue?
Thanks Developers

#3714

Update: "Comments" issue seems to have corrected by itself.
I would consider the (comment) issue to be closed, and understand that this renders #4312 as a duplicate of #3714. That being said, I will leave it to the consideration of the NP Team on leaving the issue remaining closed or not as there is at least one other user claiming to experience the same issue as mentioned. (Admittedly I am unsure if they are facing one or both of the mentioned issues).

Thank you @Stypox for the swift action and for your time and consideration.

As I mentioned, the issue still persists on WiFi for me.

Also, while the following comment suggests no solution:-
#3714 (comment)

I came across:-
#3414

That being said, please feel free to correct and improve my understanding if I am mistaken.
