XR500 not finding closest server anymore
So i have the XR500 and have everything set according to the "Optimization tips and tricks for Fortnite" guide. My issue is that I live in Northern California where one of the NA-West servers is loca...
**Update: I tired switching server regions in-game to "Auto" and my ping is back to normal and the NorCal server shows up again. I had the server region on NA-West, but for somereason instead of connecting me to the closest server on NA-West it was automatically defaulting me to the Orgeon server each time.

- I know a few days ago there was a notice in game to use the Auto region as they were having issues with specific region selections so thats likely why
- Yeah i think their matchmaking is in need of a tune-up. According to the Auto and NA-West region matchmaking i should be experiencing about 16 ping (NorCal servers) yet i keep getting put into the Oregon region and experiencing 40-50 ping so obviously I'm being put into the wrong region. I switched to Auto matchmaking earlier today and i was put into the NorCal servers for 2 matches, but then i was placed in Oregon servers after that. I keep playing with the regions and switching between Auto and West, but no luck. Ive joined probably 30 matches today with only 3 of them being placed in NorCal servers. Im guessing I'll just have to wait until Epic solves their server issues once and for all.
- Although they're having issues try using the Geo-Filter to force NorCal servers
