Matchmaking System based on User Environment

This update introduces a matchmaking system based on user environment, it automatically collects users who have the suitable conditions and will match them them in the most optimal server region.

This system has also been improved to not match players with high ping users who are too different. However, if queues are too long your search range will be extended for faster matchmaking. This might mean you are placed in a different server and may therefore experience higher ping.

In addition, as part of improving the matchmaking environment, new server regions have been added. More may be added or adjusted to provide better service in the future.

This update removes the function to select a server region for matchmaking improvement in QUICK MATCH and COMPETITIVE MATCH. Now it will automatically play the game in the best server region based on your connection area.
- However, it may match soldiers in your region as well as those in a similar region environment. This will provide a faster matchmaking environment.
- Thus, the relevant UI has been redesigned for this.
The Server Region Lists are removed from the Launcher.
Shortcut Function
- Important improvements in this update include the function to add shortcuts to the main lobby so that you can participate more quickly and conveniently in QUICK MATCH and COMPETITIVE MATCH.
- If you click the button corresponding to each game mode, you can ignore the intermediate process and proceed directly to room creation, then you can search for the game immediately.
- [Note] If you leave the match room, you will be moved to each Channel lobby, not the main lobby.
QUICK MATCH and COMPETITIVE MATCH CHANNEL
- In QUICK MATCH and COMPETITIVE MATCH CHANNEL, if the physical distance between players is too big, the game cannot be started.
- If a game is not found in QUICK MATCH and COMPETITIVE MATCH CHANNEL in the best server region, the search range will be expanded so that it searches your region as well as similar server regions.
CUSTOM MATCH and CLAN MATCH CHANNEL
(CUSTOM MATCH CHANNEL)

(CLAN MATCH CHANNEL)
- When you create a match room in CUSTOM or CLAN CHANNEL, the server region is determined based on the location of the match room host.
- [Note] The server region of the match room is not changed even if the host changes to another server region.
