So I asked people where they were from, and about even numbers of those responded would be out of my region. I think this might be one of the major contributors to the lag issue - people are getting matched onto servers outside their region. 

For PC, which is generally more mature and less concerned with "skill" matching and more concerned with connection to a low latency server (and others connected also running sub 150 ping) either giving priority in the matchmaking algorithm to low latency or giving us a damned server browser would make most of the problem go away.

    been reported.

    I suggest you add your details to one of the existing reports that has high points, so EA/DICE gives it more attention...

    This is an ongoing problem and a serious bug, game is unplayable at times. Plenty of youtube videos showing the rubber banding. Unbelievable and completely annoying. The game is fun, has plenty of potential, totally gives you the Star Wars feel but it is a total mess with the current network QA nightmare. I don't want to try and return for a refund but its a complete disappointment. After the hacking from BF 1 to this fiasco I have almost totally lost my faith in the developers of this product.

    Matchmaking region selection in automatic so you may be on servers the other side of the world with high latency.

    Ea please give region selection back to players.
