Can't change data centers (Steel Wave)

[Gakuya]

After steel wave update i cant change data centers from the GameSettings ini file. Anyone know a way to change it? My default data center is SEA but i want to change to South East Australia cuz its easier for me to communicate in english there.

I was afraid of that.

they intentionally did this. I dont wanna play rank in SEA, filled with TOXIC INDIANS... And so on.

i dont play ranked at all and i still get the occasional toxic indians. but the biggest issue for me is that asia has butt load of languages that i dont understand so i barely communicate in this server.

Hey!

Sorry to hear that this is happening. We would need the following information to investigate the issue:

- What is your ISP
- What Data Centre should you be playing on VS where you are playing on
- Trace Routes
- Open the cmd function
- Type Tracert and then add the following xblcxplatqos entry based on the datacenter you should be playing on:

'neu': {LINK REMOVED}'xblcxplatqos-neu-9-18-2-0.cloudapp.net'
'weu': {LINK REMOVED}'xblcxplatqos-weu-9-18-2-0.cloudapp.net'
'eas': {LINK REMOVED}'xblcxplatqos-eas-9-18-2-0.cloudapp.net'

If you can please send this information via a private message on our social media channels that would be most appreciated:

Here is how to change servers for R6 Siege PC on Steel Wave:

Open the GameSettings.ini and scroll down to DataCenterHint. Put 'playfab/' in front of your data center of choice. So for example: DataCenterHint=playfab/eastasia
