For context, I live in Colombia, and I get 80-90ms ping to the eastus servers, 250-300ms to the brazilsouth servers,
One thing I’ve noticed is that I can only see lobbies hosted on the brazilsouth server, which is okay but it shouldn’t filter out eastus games as I actually get a way better connection to those.
I understand wanting to lock the game to certain regions to avoid bad connections, but in the specific case of south america this is counter-productive, as Latin America North actually gets way better ping to the US East coast than South American servers.
An easy way to resolve this is to make the game ping locked (cannot see lobbies over 200ms, for example), instead of region locked.
EDIT: I think this region locking is also being applied to matchmaking but I have no way to prove this besides anecdotal evidence |
