Hello, so i noticed that some days My ping gets kinda high not much like 15m higher then my normal connection and yes i checked its not cuz of my connection i believe its cuz i get switched to another EU server and thats why My ping change so My Question is their a way to switch or to choose which server 2 play between them???
Currently, there is no way to select which game server Overwatch matches to. The game sets the match depending on the matchmaking process, since otherwise, it could cause a much longer wait while queuing.
It does make sense depending on the location that the latency is a bit lower since another server may be closer than the other. The game servers can be checked for where it’s matching to by press CTRL+SHIFT+N to check the network graph. Next to the IP at the top, you should see something like the following for Europe these are the servers currently live:
- ams1 - Amsterdam
- cdg1 - Paris
There isn’t much that can be done about the routing and lowering the latency in these situations, but hopefully this can provide some information on when the latency is lower depending on the server. A VPN might help lower the latency in some situation, but it’s not something we can directly assist with. It may be worth experimenting with if you’d like to explore the option, just be cautious since VPNs are not as stable of a connection depending on which VPN service is used.
