Middle East Servers Unplayable - Request to Deploy BF6 on New AWS Riyadh

Dear EA and DICE Team,

 

Since the recent regional infrastructure and routing disruptions affecting the Bahrain servers, the entire Middle East player base has been forced to play on European servers with an unplayable latency exceeding 130ms.

 

As you know, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has officially launched the Riyadh cloud region (me-central-2). The infrastructure is fully active and ready in Saudi Arabia.

 

We strongly urge the development and network teams to deploy Battlefield 6 servers onto this new AWS Riyadh infrastructure. The current state of matchmaking in the Middle East is completely broken, and utilizing the Riyadh data centers is the only sustainable solution for the community.

 

Thank you, and we look forward to an official response or update on this matter.

  • All services for my customers using AWS are restored in the region. This is not AWS from what I can tell but rather EA not caring to fix it. And I am going from loving the game to hating it.  I play redsec and with the ping it’s no longer enjoyable. I pay for every BF release and EA don’t give a **bleep** about anyway

    Not that easy to just flick a switch just because how there servers work some games can do this like for a example fortnite did this when the Qatar servers opened about a month ago but EA has there servers as a contract so they have 0 responsibilities about there servers its all controlled by whoever they have a contract with don't know who that's not publicly available the only way for the servers to go back up are for the current servers in the contract reopens which is Dubai and I think bahrain which are the 2 in the worst condition the current update is partial server fix will finish in the next couple of months a full server rebuild is projected for early next year just because of the damage that has happened
