Game not auto choosing nearest server on xbox

@OldTreeCreeper This is normal. The list is always sorted by average ping, giving you the one at the top. Yes, it might not be the closest geographically, but this is because of the routing set by the ISP. Routing changes pretty often, that's why the closest server is not always the same. The fact that, in your case, the game jumps between 2-3 servers is because their averages are very close and switch positions in the list very often. Doesn't really matter whether you're on Xbox, PC, Playstation.

Also, the servers in that list are for lobby services. When starting a new match, the lobby server forwards you to the actual match server, until the match ends for you and you get connected back to the lobby server. The match server can be on another data centre, sometimes closer, other times further away.

By the way, routing changes cause disruptions often, this might be one of the main reasons we sometimes don't get a third teammate or get thrown out of the match with code net errors.
