High ping, Connected to wrong servers

hello, i live in kuwait (middle east) and my account region is the same.

BEFORE the latest update i usually get around 130-180ms, with ExitLag its around 60-70ms

AFTER the update my ping is 300-450ms, with ExitLag its 150-250ms.

when i pressed LeftCTRL+LeftShift+N i found out that each time i launch the game i get connected to literally any and every server around the world except GMEC, i get connected to Sydney, Australia, Amsterdam, Taiwan, i have to close and launch the game bazillion times to get lucky and connect to GMEC server.

i made a ticket and got a Game Master suggested that i do the following:

  1. [Reset your network devices] to make sure your router hasn’t become flooded with data.

  2. [Release and renew your IP and flush your DNS to resolve any network conflicts.

  3. [Update your drivers] to resolve any compatibility issues.

  4. If you’re using a wireless connection, [optimize your internet connection] to rule out a connection issue.

  5. [Try closing background applications] to resolve any software conflicts.

which i did all, and first it made the ms worse, and i still get connected to random servers all around the world.
