High Ping in Firestorm (Australia)
Hello Yesterday when I played Firestorm the ping was fine, not too high. Today every Firestorm game that I join has a high ping, hovering at about 200 or more. What is going on? Are servers down? ...

DICE TeamHey everyone,
We have an update about server for Firestorm in Australia.
Hello Battlefield V: Firestorm players!
As you know, we released Battlefield V: Firestorm on Monday, March 25th, 2019. Since then we’ve been listening to feedback from our players around the globe.
One of the key points we’ve focused on is the matchmaking in specific regions – particularly Brazil, Australia/Oceania, and South Africa.
Matchmaking in Battlefield V: Firestorm requires a certain amount of players to be connecting at the same time to initiate a server. Unfortunately, in some regions with lower player populations, this increases matchmaking time or forces players to connect to pingsites that are more populated.
We are continuing to look at options to improve this situation without having players connect to empty servers, and we’re always listening to your feedback. We’ll keep you posted on any updates or changes as we identify and roll out more solutions.
Thanks and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Will you though? See us on the battlefield? You’ll lose most of the Oceania server before you fix it. Firestorm has been out for a week and aus players haven’t been able to play. I paid $100 worth of hard earned cash for a BF game that was going to have BR. I loved BF games. If you’re going to sell a game in a country you should at least be able to support it. This may be coming off harsh but it’s heart breaking loading into a game with 200 ping multiple days in a row.
The First day firestorm was out it was fine. have that many ozzies really stopped playing already causing low population lobbys? Feels like they have wiped the Oceania servers already..If im lucky to even find a lobby its now always over 180+ ping 😭. Hopefully its sorted asap otherwise back to blackout..
Please feed the Oceania FS server hamsters kind sir's and madam's. Your loyal antipodean player base is getting restless!
- I've given up on it ;(
Back to playing other first person shooters, COD4 Remastered was free on PSN last month. A real shame that a free title brings more joy than a multi-million dollar project created by the highest earning developers.i'm not even allowed to play firestorm, apparently i didn't spend enough money with dice to unlock it. wasted over 5 hours trying to give dice the benefit of the doubt and i feel so scammed right now. where do i even go to get this fixed?? surely the game is broken, it should NOT take 6 hours to get 24 seconds of play time in, absolutely disgusting, i hope you people at dice are all ashamed of what you have done
- Australian and South American #Firestorm servers adjusted. some settings for matchmaking in your regions so you should be more able to matchmake in your region with better ping.
Seems like a region lock. Matching with AU/NZ sqaud mates, then long wait times. But doesn't matchmake out of region.
Great. Now you gotta get the players to come back. Good luck.
