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!

What is the point of putting us in different regions if it’s unplayable. So far I’ve had 2 games in my region and it played well, but without duos as an option me and my mate got destroyed by full squads. I’ve tried to play solo and every game is 200+ ping as soon as I see the high ping now I quit and play something else. I rallied up a full squad to play last night and after couple games of high ping we all decided to go back to PUBG. I suggest you remove other regions as an option because no one will play the game in its current state which will only exacerbate the issue.
- Thats interesting since PUBG is basically in the exact same situation, no-one in OCE is getting Aus servers on PUBG, it's permanently thrown us under the bus in the Asia matchmaking pool. Two great games and now we can't play either without facing a massive disadvantage on upwards of 200 ping ☹️ why is it OCE that always gets screwed over
What I don't understand is everything was working fine and now my ping is 300.
Im playing in the same server with 3 ozzy mates and their ping is fine and mine is screwed
Please fix this as I was loving this game
I'm one of his not ozzy mates but Kiwi mate that lives in ozzy. Fix this problem or I will and I'm sure alot of people will never play this game again..which is sad because i was enjoying this game before.. i started today getting bad ping of 250 which makes this game impossible to play i have 110mb download and 38mb upload what's is the problem ea?
exactly the issue I had yesterday, my ping is over 300 whereas mates ping around 120.
