South Africa server, yeah?
Just want to confirm that 42 will have local servers? Probably an unnecessary question since BF is practically a religion down here. Just worried because of EA rumbling about shutting down BFV serv...

@CyberDymeWe had Africa/South Africa console specific servers since BF1 my guy...
It's a bit different this time around because of Crossplay variants, but yeah local servers are nothing new.
EDIT: No offense, but how did you not know this? 😳
My expectations on the servers was according to what i saw in the previous games.
I checked the server browser options in BF4, BF1 and BFV on console (PS4/PS5) and all 3 games had "African" available in the "choose Region" option.
So for that i guessed if they offer the option to choose the region, they should actually provide servers which are located in Africa or at least a close area that supports a good game experience and connection for those who play from the African region.
And for that, if Battlefield 2042 will have African region available to choose as well i think there will be also good located servers for players from that region.

Players in many other key regions have suffered similarly.
Like in South America where all physical located servers were cancelled out in some past BF games, so they either had to goto aka North America, or much worse Europe or Japan to join servers to play on...
We also have observed lack of servers for the ANZ region, which again is too far away for them to get proper gameplay experience if joining Japan or European based servers.
Now with many players getting online in India and China, then also that part of Asia needs to be much better served versus the past, as when they join our aka European servers today, they instantly bring it to a halt with rubberbanding and bullet sponging for everybody else also on the server.
Yeah, geographically limited AWS is a major bugbear with EA Sports titles such as Madden too. "Keep Things Fair"
@CyberDymeYeah, lack of response from EA is bad news here, they should at least let people here know, people have pre-ordered...
Having no local server means 200ms, means game is basically not very playable anymore.
I REALLY hope EA aren't ignoring the question because they don't want to lose any pre-orders. JUST A YES NO ARE THERE SOUTH AFRICAN SERVERS??????
The server region picture says otherwise
