Same problem here, Im in Canada Ontario and ever since the Jackfrags update my ping has gone to *. It may very likely be redirecting me to European servers. EA FFS its been about two weeks now! Its not my internet or my router.
Same with me here in Asia, man! Since 2 weeks ago me and my friends can't even play the game properly. I mean, come on. I had a really good game with 40-60 ping first but it went up to around 200. We're usually playing at Hong Kong server but this time the the server only shows up a red or yellow bar of latency which is really getting on my nerves. There's absolutely something wrong with the servers.
Ditto; Ontario here too. Everything was fine up until that update; usually around 15-25 ping on east coast servers. Now? Yea; I can’t even FIND a server; east or west coast that shows green anymore. They’re all yellow at best and I’m looking at 100+ ping on ALL of them. Something is definitely wrong. I even went so far as to swap out my router/modem but it’s made no difference whatsoever.
