I cannot join any public hive server while I can still join any private server with no issue.

After I select any public hive server to join. It proceeds like normal join-in and then stuck at a black screen with "please wait" message at the middle of the screen. At this point if I press ESC, it brings up a menu that'd normally appear if press in-game. After some time has passed, it brings me back to server selection menu with a dialog box saying "Connection with host has been lost"

This does not happen with private server.

After more research I found out about this case 0021785 which I too, have a cooking pot in inventory with steak inside for a while now.
