Hey all,
The previous changes went public, so I worked extra to get this change out into beta.
In the Online menu, there is now a little globe in the bottom right. This is the new region selector. Tap it to change regions. I don't have auto select working yet, so the default is basically random. I'll fix it before it goes public.
Important: Regions are different from language filters. If you are in the North America region and your friend creates a game in the Europe region, the game code will not be found when you try to join!
We needed this kind of feature because we hit a limit in how many gameplay servers our matchmakers could handle. We have been thrashing against a 300k player limit. But now with three regions, we could potentially support ~1M concurrent players!
Keep in mind this is literally 24 hours of work, so the Europe and Asia regions are kinda half setup, but I hope this helps those of you brave enough for the beta branch.
