I just typed out a long explanation and hit create topic and now it’s gone so whatever I’m just going to keep it simple. tl;dr is that (easiest way for me to explain) it appears to be pinging the practice range servers immediately in alphabetical order after loading the game to determine region. This results in me consistently getting 200+ms latency in the practice range until I leave and re-enter after a certain amount of time. If I was assigned this bug (and it were that simple lol) I would look to fix it by saving the lowest latency server on the client after having resolved them all and preferring it when entering practice range.
I am quite sure it is more complicated than that but it’s late and I don’t know of a better way to explain this issue other than how I would fix it if it were that simple. It’s incredibly frustrating as it is generally pointless to warm up on anything other than your usual latency.
To be clear I get assigned to AU servers most often, then there is a little sweet spot where I can get EU servers and eventually I (correctly) get LAX. Eventually being relative - it’s like 5-10 seconds I think usually it’s just a variable amount of time and I don’t really feel like determining the exact time ranges as I don’t think they are relevant.
