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

I live in NA-East, but the game has routed me to the Santiago, Chile network tenancy and nothing has fixed it. It has caused me to have packet loss and latency variation that makes the game absolutely unplayable through quickmatch/matchmaking on official servers. I get rubber banding, die behind walls, slide around the map, etc. even though I have <30 ping on a fiber optic 1Gbps Ethernet connection. I can play okay when I go to the server browser and search for NA servers, but that's a terrible solution, considering the server browser is still FLOODED with XP farm servers exploiting the game and other nonsense game modes that I don't want to play. Not to mention 99.9% of the portal servers are all broken, and are just TDM when you join them. Regardless of what the server title/descriptions are, when you join, they're just TDM, and not at all what the description said it was. I literally just want to play vanilla conquest, and very few servers for it exist on the server browser. I'm essentially unable to play unless I settle for a game mode that I don't want to play, in servers that are not balanced at all.

This is not a hardware issue, and I don't have a VPN enabled. Every other application I have geolocates me to NA-East. All of my drivers are up to date, and my connection itself does not have statistically significant packet loss when tested. I have not had this issue in any other game, ever. Not even in the BF6 Beta or in BF3, BF1, BF5, BF2042, or other EA titles that I own. Specs: RTX 4070ti, i7-8700k with 32Gb DDR4. I get a consistent 100+ fps on medium-high settings even with the server lag. Playing on Steam version of BF6.

I'm not the only one with this issue. There are many, many others if you look on the internet for similar queries. Still no word from EA on fixes for this, and even though I submitted a support ticket, it doesn't show up on my open cases, meaning it was sent straight into the shredder. Figures.

Please help.

    Same here. I am from Europe and Tenancy is in Santiago, game in this state is unplayable because I am constantly getting stutters or lags or 2000+ high ping, I am teleporting from one location to the other etc. We pay for the game, fix this issue.... This is nonsense these years that releasing not complete game is standard.... 
    Thanks
