Re: Battlefield 6 connects to Chile servers instead of U.S. East

Hello,

I am having a region routing problem in Battlefield 6. Before the Battlefield REDSEC update, the game always matched me to European servers (Spain, France, etc) with 40-60 ms ping. After that update, the game started forcing my account to the Santiago, Chile data center. The tenancy displayed in the main menu is:

PROD_DEFAULT-SANTIAGO-COMMON

Because of this, I now have 200-300 ms ping, constant latency spikes, and delayed hit registration in every match.

My IP geolocation is correct for Algeria and has normal routing to European servers. I was playing without issues before the REDSEC update. I have already tried clearing EA App cache, deleting and recreating Battlefield 6 configuration, flushing DNS and Winsock, changing DNS servers, verifying files, testing both automatic and manual IP setup, and using VPN endpoints located in France, Spain, and Germany. Even when using a European VPN, the game still forces the same tenancy value:

PROD_DEFAULT-SANTIAGO-COMMON

This shows the issue is not caused by my network or ISP. It appears to be an incorrect tenancy region assignment on EA’s backend.

I am requesting a tenancy region reset for my Battlefield 6 account so that matchmaking returns to European servers.

Steam ID: 2Drunk-2Play
Platform: PC


Date-time issue occurred?: Since Battlefield REDSEC update (still ongoing)


What type of issue do you have?: Forced incorrect data center, high latency, and desync

Summarize your bug: Summarize your bug: The game is forcing my account to the Santiago, Chile data center (PROD_DEFAULT-SANTIAGO-COMMON) instead of European servers, causing 200-300ms ping, lag, desync, and long loading screens. When I load into matches, I sometimes get stuck on the loading screen for about 1-2 minutes, and when the match finally starts I am placed into spectator instead of spawning.

In which mode and or map has this happened?: All modes and all maps
ISP name: Algeria Telecom
Your Current Region: Algeria (North Africa)

Thank you.

    Issue has been going on for weeks, zero fixes or responses to it. They got there money and now don't care, typical EA problems. Its sad a great game like this will die due to these issues. I work on servers for a living and its such a easy fix and its like they hire idiots to do the job lol
