ZA REDSEC BR uses UK/EU servers while other modes use ZA

Region: South Africa / Cape Town

Mode affected: REDSEC Battle Royale only

All nprmal Battlefield 6 modes connect me to South African servers with low ping.

REDSEC Gauntlet also connects me to South African servers.

Only REDSEC Battle Royale consistently places me on UK/EU servers at high ping.

This does not appear to be an ISP routing issue because other BF6/REDSEC modes correctly use local ZA servers.

It looks like REDSEC BR matchmaking is expanding region too aggressively or prioritising fast match creation over ping/local region. I would rather wait longer for a local South African BR lobby than be forced into UK/EU.

Please investigate ZA/South Africa REDSEC Battle Royale matchmaking and server allocation.

    We do have local servers for redsec (can see if you try queue gauntlet) the problem is we are getting routed to EU before our own lobbies can fill

    there are enough players - the problem is we’re getting routed to EU too fast so its make users believe there are no servers and they never queue BR again. Really silly change by Dice

    they aren’t missing servers - they just auto matching us to europe before our own servers can fill

    Was planning on buying the full game - so tried redsec. Lack of local servers made me change my mind.

    there are enough players - if servers just allowed more time for them to fill

    There's not enough players for BR. Apparently there is however Gauntlet servers. The main multiplayer has tons of players but the matchmaker constantly splits apart the playerbase into separate servers.

    This has been like this for weeks if not months now, literally made me not buy the full game when it happened. They are messing up BR for African region.
