"Connecting to patch s..." and it shows at 33%, then it stops and says "Failed"

[Zoogar]

It has been a few weeks since I last played, and there seems to be an update to the game.
I loaded the game, and the launcher displayed "Connecting to patch s..."
It displays at 33%, then switches to "Failed" and starts a 60-second countdown to retry. It still repeats over and over.

Displaying below: "An update error occurred: Server connection timed out.

I am running Windows 10 and have tried the following:
1) I checked my firewall by turning it off.
2) Restated my router and network.
2) Accessed the launcher menu - Options - Repair (Tab) - Clicked Repair (Button) to Repair Game Data, this took some time to download and install, but the error is still happening.
4) I left the computer on and cycled through the 60 seconds over and over for four days in case it was a connection problem with my internet service provider's DNS. Sadly, leaving it running did nothing.
5) I am not using a proxy and VPN.
6) Uninstalled and then re-installed the game, which did not work.
7) Check "Allow an app through Windows Firewall" (dndclient & dndclient64 & DNDLauncher are allowed)

Not sure where to go from here!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

EDIT/UPDATE: I was required to use a VPN to complete the update. For some reason my local ISP has the wrong DNS which I figured would have been correctly updated in their system by now.
