1. Why this problem happening? because the windows client only had a couple of IP addresses hardcoded into it and they keep timing out due to demand. Once you get a connection for the first time after following this guide this problem will never happen again
2. Close worldcoinqt
3. Delete the .conf file if it's there and peers.dat in the 'roaming' folder of 'appdata' for worldcoin
4. navigate to where worldcoinqt.exe is, (hold ctrl-shift-rightclick) and select open command window there. Paste into the command line:
worldcoin-qt -addnode=82.8.158.89 -addnode=188.194.8.221 -addnode=183.62.232.93 -addnode=124.188.83.171 -addnode=72.222.208.81 -addnode=89.10.226.206 -addnode=173.16.119.230 -addnode=173.16.94.167 -addnode=66.232.186.235 -addnode=71.201.163.216 -addnode=98.193.75.196 -addnode=71.86.91.187 -addnode=63.175.158.121 -addnode=82.8.158.89 -addnode=188.194.8.221 -addnode=183.62.232.93 -addnode=124.188.83.171 -addnode=72.222.208.81 -addnode=89.10.226.206 -addnode=178.148.10.66 -addnode=178.148.10.66
You have to right click to paste. This will add a bunch of healthy nodes and get you started.
i like it but add this node to... 5.135.115.138 its my server so i know its not going to go down XD

I am assisting a Worldcoin miner and broker with some issues they are having with their wallet, the wallet is out of sync, and is having difficulty syncing. A message is displayed at the very bottom of the wallet client that says: "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade". This user has been trading and transferring from the wallet with some success, but is concerned, can anybody shed some light on this "WARNING" message?
===============================
WE WILL try to apply this solution or gather information from this solution that will assist, thank you.
Make sure the system time housing the wallet is correct.
The system in set to auto, I'm in Australia and the time is correct. I haven't changed anything on the system and it was working fine yesterday.
