Australian player can only play on Aussie servers but i don't have a option to pick Australian servers only (default) (189ms), Japan (189ms), Oregon (204ms), Virginia (240ms), Ireland (319ms), Germany (322ms), UK (336ms), Brazil (372ms). Anyone have access to Australian servers still? [Hero edit: corrected typo in title]

Hi all,I am speaking on behalf of the 1500+ people in the Battlefront 2 Oceania discord server.Australia servers have been unavailable to be selected in the server selecter recently. Sometimes its there and sometimes its not. Are EA phasing out servers because AU has the smallest BF2 playerbase?We all are hoping that its not the case. Are the servers able to please be fixed/restored as there is a small but dedicated fanbase in the OCE region and we would much rather be playing on decent ping servers rather than 220+ on American servers which are already full of hackers. Hope to hear a response soon.Thanks!

for the past few days ive been playing bf2 with a consistent 3 bar connection and didn't realise that it was because i was no longer on Australian servers. i searched in settings and the Australian ping site is no longer an option like it isn't physically there and as a result the game defaults me to Oregon which makes hvv difficult as im in Australia. what happened to the Australian ping site?.

I’ve had to stop playing because it’s now defaulting to Brazil at 553 ms

@brisvegas93 @CN7810 You still having issues with this?

I also don't like massive game companies that make a **bleep** ton of money and completely ignore a problem with an entire countries server, the issue is not fixed and I'm tired of restarting my game 20 times until the Australian server actually does show up

@EA_Hux Still happening, and I don't much enjoy playing at 209 ping in the Japan servers

Hello

The issue should no longer occur.

If you still encounter any issues, don't hesitate to create a new thread.

Thank you for getting back to us.

I've passed on the information to the team to investigate.

@EA_Hux The EA servers for AU arent showing up for most people if not all people in the Australian/OCE region, meaning we arent able to play games with the best ping we normally get, with it often defaulting to US with over 250+ ping.
The servers in the menu selection seem to have come back, but it still is sometimes sending us to Japan or US servers, even though we have AU selected.

it looks like it might have been fixed, I've been able to select Australia several times in a row, and before I couldn't even see Australia when I started the game

I'm on ps5, ive also been very active in the forums over the past 3-5weeks when it started happening i also have multiple videos with evidence, but I've seen multiple people on xbox and p.c have the same problem the Australian servers disappear and defult to japan servers littlerily every game, I can still play the Japan servers with extreme lag so, I don't assume it's my service provider cause im actually able to play and connect to other servers, but I digress im with Vodafone on 68mbs according to a post in e.a general questions, titled How to check e.a server status posted by EA_illium on auguest 23rd 2023 and its pinned to the top. I've just cracked 9000hrs and I'm on daily so I've noticed this happening everyday and I've had multiple people message me through the psn asking what's wrong?

Hello everyone,

Sorry to hear that you are unable to play on Australian servers.

What platform are you all playing on ?

What is your Internet Service Provider ?
