What happened to matchmaking? 150-300 ping every game now

From what I gather, there was a recent update that made the SBMM tighter. This has now resulted in every match being extremely laggy.

This is definitely the fastest way to kill your game beyond the borders of NA.

We had no problems filling local lobbies here in ANZ before the update, but now it’s hopeless.

How is there no server / region selector yet? Like every other big MP game has this, even MCC does.

Cant be that hard to let us pick our server / region? I would much rather wait a bit longer and have a good connection match, than Insta-que at a mass disadvantage.

Ever wonder why so many players quit? Me and many other players I know refuse to play 200+ ping, as it’s unfair, not fun and a waste of time.

Ever wondered why you’re getting horrible connection when you’re from NA? It’s because people are having to use geo-filters to pull to their server because 343 can’t get it together and implement such a relatively simple feature.

Please get this sorted, otherwise the player base will drop significantly.

Back to Apex until it’s fixed, hope the message is heard

Well said, another ANZ player here and had a bloke from US, England and myself Australia all in same team going why is hit reg so bad and how are we teamed up in a fame being all over from the world lol

As an European I can understand that - like the only servers I and my friends [one from GB, one from france and another one like me from germany] only got connected to US-servers… that sucks in so many ways.

It’s pretty ridiculous to have to deal with this in this day and age. I’d just appreciate some acknowledgment by 343 that this is an issue that’s going to be resolved soon.

Then I know when I’ll be coming back to Infinite
