Data centers changed

Thx man, Ex IT here too.  I  allready thought that one Euro server would have been some powerfull cluster or something.

If it were really 1 server it would crumble i think under the heavy load,. Or matchmaking should have been speed up like crazy, and it's not, MM is about the same now.

More stable games now? Maybe, but still i get these starvation and packet loss icons at times; and those **bleep** 5 sec full freezes, Annoying as hell those freezes. Might be a thing since DX12 (dint notice this before S23) or servers  ...

This game is almost unplayable. I was getting killed 10-15 steps past large rocks, building etc last night on Japanese servers with 130ms ping. I had issues on occasion before but nothing like I experienced last night. Unbelievable. 

Its gotten worse for me....previously, to EU servers, i used to get around 160-180...on bad days up to 200.  I live in South Africa and the Middle East servers had no traffic at all - could not find games there.  After the changes now, its over 200ms ping as a standard.  We have AWS available locally but no local servers for us or the African region.  There is a large player base locally from what i understand....so getting this level of ping now has made the game unplayable for me.

My performance is much better. It looks like they're using AWS now, which is a good thing. They were before, but I think their load balancers are what you see in the server pick list, and those might have been in on-prem datacenters, some were in the cloud like the ones listed with GCE in their name = Google. It's not a list of actual servers, more just the entry point to a bunch of servers. I work in IT and there's no way a single server would ever support the number of users that play this game, even if you split up those users by region. My ping time is much more stable and I'm not getting disconnects anymore. Great job! 

server performance and stability went from bad to horrible... Thats what you get when game is dying and there are not enough people to fill the spots. Whats the next step? 3 servers? 2? maybe 1 that would work...

Before the server migration, my ping used to be around 150-200....now its over 200.  So much for making things better.

Central Europe, from 7 servers to 1 server, great. That's a way to speed up que times and save money on servers.

Lets hope they are more stable and serviced in time, at least on a better cloud platform.

Eastern Europe could use an etxra one.

Hi there, 

You see different data servers because of the recent migration. For further information please see: https://x.com/Respawn/status/1907580618566664638
