pso2 exe not being hidden and frequent disconnections

Hello. I have run PSO2 fine for months on Windows 8, but earlier this week I started getting disconnected often (630). Oddly, I noticed that pso2.exe was not being hidden by Gameguard in Task Manager like it usually is. Is something wrong with my gameguard and could this be related to my problem?

I have tried the tweaker's gameguard fix and file check, but it had no effect and I am still experiencing disconnects.

I do not use any proxies or anti virus programs besides the default Windows Defender.

If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts, please let me know, thanks.

perform a ping test and a trace route to server or proxy (if you are using), 630s are caused by DNS malfunction, packet loss and sometimes is congestion on server side
