[2023] how to change server?

I'm curious, is there a reason why there's no server selection? I'm playing from Sweden with a friend from California. Our "local" servers are both really bad for one or the other, ideally we'd be playing on East coast servers like in any other game but there's no option to.

What he means is that the game was picking US central even though he lives in south america - which is FAR from the optimal ping considering SA servers exist atm and US east would be dramatically lower than central and west as well.

I had the same issue last night, i live in SA and was getting put in US central. Today it seems to be properly putting me in SA servers. Obviously the system needs work, but can you comment on wether or not we’ll ever be able to pick our server? This is a really weird decision that can put a huge dent in the multiplayer aspect of the game…

Point in case: I live in SA and play with a friend who lives in Cali. If he leads we go to US west, where i get 230ms and the game is unbearable with this latency, if i lead he gets 200ms. If we could just go to US east i’d probably get around 140ms and while not optimal, that would be the best compromise.
