    For those stuck on SBR data center

    Does anyone know a workaround to getting OFF the sbr(brazil) data center? I've tried restarting my games at least 20x and ALWAYS get stuck with sbr and -1 ping. Out of 3 games, all 3 have been with Brazil players and I'm stuck with 250ish ping. It has gotten progressively worse as the game is out longer. Looking for a temp fix until the patch comes out and hopefully fixes it.

    Nope. Haven't been able to fix it. This is annoying. Like, how hard is it for them to obtain_player_IP and then set you to the corresponding server?

    Edit: Deleting toxicity since Ubinsulin was nice enough to respond.

    We've announced that we're working on allowing users to choose a data center. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...oper-AMA-Recap

    I'm sorry it does nothing for you today but we hear your concerns. Thank you.

    Actually, no, this is ridiculous and I do have a right to be angry. I paid $60 for this game. Having to play on BR servers with well over 200 ping with people who can't communicate with me is ridiculous. It's like I paid for a high quality $60 steak, but you gave me some garbage you picked up from the local Safeway and microwaved it for me. And I'm not the only having this problem and there has been no fix. There should be a hotfix for this. We shouldn't have to wait so long for an issue like this to be corrected. We are in 2015, almost 2016. Is it really that hard to put people on servers in the same country they are from? I'm no video game coder, but I have to imagine it's something relatively simple to do seeing as every other multiplayer game I've ever played has been able to do it correctly.

    Just the special ineptitude people have come to expect with Ubisoft I guess.

    Now I'm actually pretty upset. It's gotten to the point I literally enter EVERY match with Brazil players. The game is going on 2 weeks and still dealing with this crap. Random disconnects I can deal with, the game is actually unplayable. I can't compete with these connection issues.

    Edit: So after disabling and re enabling my ethernet adapter like no joke 50x, I was able to connect to the eus(East US) data center. Workaround only takes about 20 minutes

    Why is this not fixed yet? we're coming up on a month and still no fix. I get defaulted to SBR about 95% of the time and I can't play the game properly like that with 200 ping and people speaking Portuguese. The only time i can enjoy the game is when i join a pre-made with friends because for some reason in that case my ping goes down to a somewhat reasonable 50-60. (even though it should be more like 10-20).

    Why is this not fixed yet ubisoft? I mean you guys finally make a fun game, but you can't fix your severs? wtf?

    I assumed a problem like this would be fixed within a couple weeks of release, and I feel like an idiot for not asking for a refund. thanks ubisoft, you made a fool of me, ONCE AGAIN!

    Right now the only workaround is to press f10, then alt+enter, then disable and enable your local area connection then press OK in game and pray.

    OR have a friend with the right server queue instead.

    For some reason they are not fixing this problem right now with a hot fix is PROBABLY because they have limited numbers of times that they can update the game (filthy console peasants) and they want to keep the PC and console versions exactly the same.

    because the option to pick a server can't be THAT hard??

    anyway the update that will allow us to pick a server will probably come on feb 2, unless they want a ****storm

    Brazil players most be happy, because they have a lot of players to play with them since me and all my friends are stock on SBR Data Center....
