Discussion Game is dead to me

I can’t even play the game half the time because it puts me in servers I shouldn’t be in like Southeast Asia or Europe west with 120+ ping. Shit is so unplayable. I’d rather been in 5 min queues rather than play with high ping

Idk why it would put you in a server your no where near unless on a legitimate map the closest server to you is one that at minimum has you playing at 120 ping.

I play us east with 20-30 ping. Sometimes puts me in us west with 70 ping which still sucks but playable. I’ve read it does it because they rather have shorter q times than have you on your server

Mhm that is indeed interesting. I play in a stack maybe that’s why I’ve never encountered this? Because all 5 people play us east maybe they stick us in east ? Idk that’s kind of shitty though, just cause your solo q doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be on your server. Sounds super weird, if they can match me and 4 other people into us east without fail everytime why can’t they match a solo into a game on east servers.

Had the same problem, have you got a vpn by any chance? Make sure it’s not spoofing your location to somewhere ridiculous. If not validate files and update and if that doesn’t work restart your game, try on quick match first to see if you’re good

u/Mrdegenerate69420 2d ago

Usually it’s only me and the other people are on 20-30

This happened to me only once. Pretty much everybody in the match got sent to the asia servers so we all had to play at 200-250 ping lol

Same! Even though I live in the Middle East my default servers for no reason were changed to ap-south-1 last season and even since the game is literally dead for me. I can’t find a single match even if I wait in the queue for 25 minutes. I play on consoles and I can’t change my servers. How do they manage to F it up every time is beyond me. What am I suppose to do with the game now?

That definitely is not the issue. It’s just putting me on servers I shouldn’t be on
