Data Center info gathering thread.

Hi, we're seeing some players reporting that they appear to be assigned to an incorrect data center, experiencing high in-game latency, and who are reporting players from other regions in their games...

Am still having this issue after the launch of Season 2!

When starting the game up, there is a 50-50 chance that it selects a data center really far away from me. I am closest to Amsterdam (which it also says is the best ping and packet loss), but then automatically selects Tokyo or Singapore... Strange

Couple of things I noticed so far:

Sometimes when starting the game, I can visually see the game selecting different servers by rapidly changing the text behind "data center: ..." Then after a while it selects the server
After I select Amsterdam manually and play a game, I sometimes still get connected to Tokyo or Singapore, with no option to change it.
The automatic selection seems to favor low packet loss over ping, that is probably why it want me to connect to these servers as they display 0 packet loss while Amsterdam has 4% (which is weird right?)

Anyone else still having this issue?
