EA Staff (Retired)@ggibb65some 5 days ago I managed to play Gallactic Assault in my local server with no problem, it took only 2 seconds for the game to find a full match. It was so much better playing in the local server, but I could ONLY play gallactic assault for some reason. Fast forward 3 days later and ever since then I simply cannot join any game mode in my local server, and a lot of times I can't even join a full match in the closest server outside the local one.
@Nitro747400- a few months ago, I had similar problems to you. Couldn't get a game in any mode on my local server (Aust 25ms). Cycled through ping sites and was able to get games on US Oregon site(247 ms). Everything played fine although I had a constant reminder of slow internet connection on the top right corner of my screen. A game update fixed the problem for me at Least I could play GA & HvsV on local site. But I still can't play any other mode (keep coming up with empty lobbies) US Oregon also stopped working for me. Again I cycled through the ping sites and found US Virginia worked in all other modes. This & my local site now allow me to play every mode. What I am trying to say is that the next fastest site to your local may not be the best site, so try the next & the next until you come up with one that works for you without lag & dropouts. I know this shouldn't have to be the way to go but until EA can come up with a permanent fix, it is the only way. I found the default setting is the same as my local.
