Same problem here. I’m on East coast of U.S. and only see a few games on WESTUS2 and I’ve been checking constantly since launch, they are high ping for me and are difficult to connect to.
I have also tried hosting in EASTUS2, WESTUS2, and Default, waited at least 15 minutes, not a single person joined for even a second. I have hosted games in AOE2HD before and after testing this to verify my network settings are okay.
(Update: I briefly saw a game from a Korean server, and a game from an Austrailian server, one refresh and they were gone tho, still havent seen an EASTUS2 game show up, only WESTUS2)
I noticed there are 8 EASTUS2 Games that show up in the spectate list. Many servers show 7-8 games running… some show 14.
This issue is similar to this one: Can only see games from USWEST server and nothing else?
Edit: This is mostly resolved for me from updates/patches. I can only host in WESTUS2 though, despite the fact that I’m closer to the East coast (Ohio)
