OskooI_007 Thank you for this, I did that and got this IP: https://ec2-18-98-44-111.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
I guess it's somewhere in Oregon, so maybe the Santiago, Chile thing is just a visual bug? I'm not sure what's going on then.
PugChomp you can search google for 'domain name to ip address' websites which will convert ec2-18-98-44-111.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com to ip address 18.98.44.111 .
Then you can search google for 'ip address location' websites which will locate ip 18.98.44.111 to Portland, Oregon.
The question I'm wondering is why your ping time is so high. I'd need to see the traceroute to perhaps be able to understand.
I don't think Santiago, Chile is the actual location of BF6 servers, no.

OskooI_007 Ok, here's the traceroute, I blocked the IP stuff out because TBH I don't know what any of it means. I just see that the AWS address is all red?

PugChomp hop 1 is your home router and the ping time looks good with an average ping of 0.5ms.
Hop 2 is your ISP and the ping time looks bad with an average ping time of 118ms.
This is way too high. Usually hop 2 for ISP is around 10ms.
Hop 2 is responsible for your high ping times. Every game you play probably has a 100ms ping time, not just Battlefield.
I recommend emailing the traceroute screenshot to your ISP and explain to them that hop 2 ping time is too high and you're unable to play online games due to high ping times over 100ms.
