Not able to play/connect on mumbai server (automatically switching to Hong Kong)

Basically for the past two days, I have tried to play Valorant with my friends and when I am in the lobby and and the page where we chose our gamemode I tried to check my ping on the Mumbai server but it was showing three question marks lik this ??? at the place where the ping should show. Every other server was showing ping normally but only Mumbai had the question marks instead of the ping. I live in the EU I used to live in India and hence I play on the Mumbai server and I don't want to switch the server location of this account to the EU as I want to continue playing with my friends in India. Since I got the question marks instead of the pings whenever I tried to connect to a match the server auto changes to Hong Kong even though I chose Mumbai and I get unplayable high ping. Even my party mates server changes because of my issue.

yeah same 150 ping on mumbai was fine but now we dont have any option to play on that server but then they shouldnt let us play on hong kong or anyother asian server as well right please help us look into the issue as it hasnt fixed yet @Kenji-San yeah its because u get switched to hong kong server update guys i raised a ticket and got a reply apparently this is happening to a lot of people who are trying to connect to the mumbai servers and they are trying to fix it but theres not given time when itll be fixed for sure so we just have to wait

He never said that They are Riot employees and are probably busy give them time, they'll look into it

Guys you might need to try VPN services if you want to play cross region, Valorant is optimized for regional play, which means EU/MENA players play together, APAC/India play together etc.

ok so heres whats happening, for example Pakistan & Nepal ISPs do not have a way for them to reach the servers in Mumbai. That is why you guys see the "???" in Mumbai. Now this is only affecting India and APAC. We are contacting individual ISPs for this countries that seems to have this problem and will get it amended if they are willing to cooperate with us, which I am confident they will @! Bxino Unfortunately we cannot fix your ping if you play across regions my friend.

^ You can try contacting our support as I only deal with Network related issues, I am sure they can help you out moving regions

Before the latest update I had no problem with ping
Kenji-San
Kenji-San5mo ago
@! Bxino There are a lot of changes, optimizations happening in the network around the world and also inside Riot, I am sorry to hear that your ping jumped from Sweden to Mumbai, but there is nothing physically we can do about it.

^ Like they said they can't really do anything I'd recommend you stop pinging It's an easy way just to get blocked
soham🫀
soham🫀OP5mo ago
so you re basically suggesting that there is no solution
! Bxino
! Bxino5mo ago
what kind of game is this where u cant ask for help then why did we paid?
Saucywan
Saucywan5mo ago
Valorant is free. The solution I'm guessing has to do with your specific Internet provider and not riot Even though Riot is a big company it can't just magically fix problems especially when it has nothing to do with riots end. I am not a network engineer at riot so this information may not be one hundred percent accurate

i have skins what m i going to do?
soham🫀
soham🫀OP5mo ago
then its riots duty to contact specific isps around the world and fix it right the issue got sort of a temp fix now like the server is working and i am able to see the ping instead of ??? but now its 430ms it used to be 150ms any comments @Kenji-San ?
