High ping in Rainbow Six Siege
Game picked a far away data centre
Siege picks a data centre for you based on ping, and sometimes it lands on one far away. On PC you can choose the data centre yourself in a settings file.
How to fix it
Close the game.
Open Documents, My Games, Rainbow Six - Siege, then the folder named after your Ubisoft Connect ID.
Open GameSettings.ini in a text editor and go to the bottom.
Change DataCenterHint=default to a nearby option from the list, such as playfab/westeurope.
Save the file and start the game, then check the data centre under the gear icon.
