Creating Party Infinite Loading

For context, I downloaded the patch to still play the game after shutdown, which is working fine.

That being said, whenever I try to create a party it gets stuck on the red spinning circle that says "Creating Party" forever, the party never creates. I experienced this prior to shutdown, and am wondering if anyone else has had this experience? I can't seem to find much about this anywhere. Is there some way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated, thank you
