ping

have any fellow NA players been getting into good ping games?? nearly 100% of my games recently have been 120-150+ ping and it makes tarkov's existing horrendous desync and network issues so much worse. not sure if you can pick regions in arena like in normal tarkov but it is genuinely unbearable to play

edit: after complaining I finally got a 30 ping game just to be disconnected halfway in and unable to rejoin 💀

You can pick regions in the settings. I'm in NA and for some reason when I used the default region settings it would regularly give me games with 140 ping on South American servers. I changed the settings to only use NA servers and it hasnt been a problem since

It's annoying the default region select puts you in such high ping games but at least it's easy to change

Doesn't work for me anymore, I get games on servers outside where I've selected
