Attempting to change the data center preference in Custom Games to most of the available areas results in an error and forces the lobby to use your closest server instead. The error I get is "Preferred data center unavailable*.

I’m confined in a crumbling castle, surrounded by eerie silence. I’ve been here for 5 years, ever since the Overwatch Workshop was released. My captor, who appears as a dark, corrupted Reinhardt from the “Cursed Knight” custom game, says I can only leave when Blizzard fixes all the workshop bugs. Please, I’m so tired. Please.

Blizzard’s approach to fixing Overwatch Workshop bugs is like trying to fix a sinking ship with a bucket and a dream. They’ve got this whole ‘we’re on it’ attitude, but every patch feels like a temporary band-aid on a leaky dam. If their bug fixes were a workout routine, it would be a series of half-hearted stretches and a lot of promises to hit the gym next week.

Subject: Re: Bug Report for Data Center Preference Issue in Custom Games
Hi [Player’s Name],
Thank you for reporting the issue with changing the data center preference in Custom Games. We understand how critical it is to have control over server options, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.
It looks like when attempting to set the data center preference to various available areas, you’re encountering the “Preferred data center unavailable” error, which results in the lobby defaulting to your closest server instead.
Our team is aware of this problem and is currently investigating it. We’re working to identify the root cause and implement a fix to ensure that data center preferences are correctly applied.
In the meantime, could you please provide any additional details that might help us troubleshoot this issue? Specifically:
- Error Details: Any additional error messages or codes that appear.
- Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps you took leading up to the error.
- Screenshots/Video: If you have any screenshots or video clips demonstrating the issue, they would be very helpful.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue. We’ll keep you updated on our progress and let you know once a fix is available.
Thank you for helping us improve the Custom Games experience!
Best regards,
