Re: Server region changed automatically from Middle East to Eastern Europe - FC 26

Hello EA Support / EA Community,

I am facing a serious server routing issue in EA SPORTS FC 26.

Game Details:

Game: EA SPORTS FC 26

Platform: PC

Mode affected: Online matches / Ultimate Team / Rivals / Champions

Location: Saudi Arabia

ISP: STC 5G

Current ping: 120-130ms

Expected ping: 20-40ms

Issue started: [25/arpril]

The game keeps giving me around 120-130ms ping. This strongly suggests that I am being routed to European or Eastern European servers instead of the Middle East servers.

My connection is stable, and I already tried restarting the router, restarting the game, checking connection settings, testing multiple online matches, and testing at different times of the day.

The issue still happens, and the gameplay is heavily delayed.

Please investigate the server routing and matchmaking region for Saudi Arabia and Middle East players, because it seems the game is not connecting us to the correct nearby servers

Thank you.
