Ping Site Resets On New Client Session.

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Setting ping site under "Settings > EA Account" resets every time game is started from fresh (New Session).
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? SnoutBaron
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug?
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Galactic Assault
What is your time zone? EET (ART) - GMT + 2:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start the game afresh, go to "Settings > EA Account" and you will see that it will always default to the closest ping site. It keeps this setting only while the game is running. Restarting the game from the desktop will reset it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Ping site is reset on game startup thus putting me in my closest region that has no players. Note, the game keeps the setting as long as the client is running but if the client is shut down and started again, the setting is reset to the closest ping site.
What do you expect to see? I would like the setting to save after each session. Whenever I start the client, it should keep the last ping site setting I set it to. As seen in the included image, I would like it to save Germany as my ping site. The issue with this bug is that barely anyone plays in South Africa and thus finding a game is next to impossible. I would like to be able to choose a different site and for it to save so that I don't have to keep choosing every time the game client is started afresh.
Please select your region Africa

  • I have a similar problem, except I am always forced into the South African ping site, whilst currently playing in Pennsylvania. No matter how many times I change it in the settings, it never works. The lag is unbearable, and rubber-banding makes it unplayable. Also, I get put into empty servers, which is always a plus.

  • Same here, but i get connected to USA Virginia ping site with 150+ ping, however germany is the closest to me, but i dont even have it in my ping site selection menu...
  • It's very frustrating. I always change it when I leave a match. Here in Brazil we can find rooms to play but not all day, so by night I change to Virginia
