Game Update 1.0.3
Hello, Friends!
Remember when we mentioned on Monday that we're working on the matchmaking system? Well, we've got some news to share! This is our first attempt to tackle some of the issues players have been reporting, and we'll keep fine-tuning the matchmaking to make it the absolute best it can be.

[h3]Issues with matchmaking in Australian regions[/h3]
Additionally, we've received numerous reports about high ping issues & incorrect 'best regions' from users based in Australia. We've been going through this issue with our multiplayer server provider and found out that this issue is, for now, exclusive to all players who have internet provided by the company Optus, or any ISP that relays on the Optus network.
If that's your case, we're terribly sorry, but there's not much we can do on our side. We can tell you about some workarounds some of you found, though!
1. Using Cloudflare WARP. You can access it here: https://1.1.1.1 (it looks shady but we promise it's not!). It's free, so give it a shot if you don't have access to a paid VPN service!
2. Using Optus Game Path. You can access it here: https://www.optus.com.au/broadband-nbn/gaming-internet-plans/game-path
3. Using any VPN service of your choosing. Since the issue is how the Optus network reroutes the connection to our Australia server, this should potentially fix the high ping, no matter the service you use.
Again, we're sorry about this, and we hope these solutions can help you enjoy Friends vs Friends with us ❤️
Until next time!
