Hi Ginger93!
This is strange since the game doesn't talk over the internet at all, as far as I know. We had analytics at one point but removed them quite some time ago.
Could you describe how the issue is presenting on your computer? Are downloads failing or other online applications lagging when playing?

I actually ended up figuring it out and I thought that I might post the solution on here incase anybody has the same issue.
I didn't have any hardware issues and everything was performing fine but my speeds went from the normal 300+mbps download and 15-20+mbps upload to 0.5mpbs download and 0.3mpbs upload. It was really weird and only happened when I had the game running.
Even though there wasn't an issue with my GPU, I used the solution that you posted for person who had their GPU maxed out with the game and took it off of the "Fastest" setting and my internet speeds fully came back. I don't know what it is with your "Fastest" setting but it seems to not agree with some computers.
It actually agrees a little too much with some computers! The framerate runs uncapped on the fastest setting so if you have a strong computer it will run the game as fast as possible, using up resources and making the framerate unreasonably high. A fix for this (being able to toggle vsync from inside the game) is still in the works. When it's ready, I'll post on the forums so everybody can get the latest version.
