Re: Server region changed automatically from Middle East to Eastern Europe - FC 26

Hello,

I have been having a serious matchmaking/server routing issue in EA Sports FC 25 for over a week now.

I live in Saudi Arabia and I used to normally play on Middle East servers with good gameplay and normal ping. However, recently the game constantly matches me against European players, especially Turkish players, and the gameplay feels delayed and heavy.

I tested everything possible:

• Different internet connections
• STC fiber and mobile data
• Different DNS settings
• Restarted router and console
• Reinstalled network settings
• Tried different times of the day

No matter what I do, the game keeps routing me to European matchmaking instead of Middle East servers.

The strange thing is that this issue started suddenly and was never happening before.

EA Support could not identify the cause and asked me to post here.

Is anyone else in the Middle East experiencing this issue recently? And is there any fix for being constantly matched on EU servers instead of Middle East servers?

Thank you.
