Yeah this definitely needs a response from EA now.
It’s been a few days already and there’s still no update or acknowledgement, while a whole region is being affected. A lot of us here in the UAE are seeing the same issue, not just higher ping, but being routed to completely different regions that don’t make sense for our location.
Location: UAE (Abu Dhabi)
Ping: 93–120 ms
Routed Region: East Asia (likely China servers)
Previous Ping (ME servers): ~10–20 ms
Impact: High latency, delayed hit registration, inconsistent gameplay
If others are experiencing the same, it would help to share your details in a similar way so we can show this clearly isn’t isolated.
At this point it’s not just a server issue, it’s the lack of feedback that’s frustrating. Even a simple update to confirm what’s going on and what the plan is would help.
If the Middle East servers are down, then at least let us know what temporary measures are being considered while things are being resolved.
