Regional Instance Roulette - from playable to insufferable

Issue Type (Required):

Connectivity

Issue Description (Required):

I have noticed that upon rerolling Operative Selection screen by pressing Change Operative button, the game may occasionally either put me into regional instances with terrible connectivity, or to fairly stable ones without dropped inputs and packet loss. Frankly, I dont enjoy wasting time on multiple loading screens just to see ping monitor reach acceptable deviation.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Common (<50%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Hi Esquie, we’ll look in to this. If you navigate to the Mission Terminal → ‘Matchmaking Server Location’ [E] which region is it set to, and is it correct?

I didnt mean world matchmaking regions though, but Mourningstar’s instances within set region. What I meant is reloading an Operative within set region will either yield me an unplayable instance which will result in next mission’s bad connectivity all around, or it will load me into instance with somewhat stable ping, and my next mission will proceed smoothly.


This is what typically greets me - an instance with ping spikes up to 300 (note a number in the upper left corner), but its not the ping’s the issue, but packet loss, crashes, ignored inputs…
But after 4 Operative reloads, I finally found an instance with relatively stable and low ping, without spikes, meaning my next mission will be playable.
