Dead by Daylight - Item set to NA matches in original region with massive ping

I’m using the Dead by Daylight item with the correct server and node selected (NA & US based node), but it continues to match me in my original region (Japan) with over 250ms ping. To bypass this, I’ve been using Full VPN mode, which does work, but it routes additional traffic (like streaming) and quickly uses up credits, so it’s not sustainable.

This issue did not happen before, item mode used to route Dead by Daylight properly without needing Full VPN.

ISP: Nuro (Sony Communications)
OS: Windows

Please advise how to fix item mode so that it properly routes Dead by Daylight traffic again.

Packet Dump

Note: After testing, this is the same with all servers (Singapore, etc.) as well as NA, so it is not just limited to NA server. Thanks!

Here is a screenshot from resmon, where I am connected to SG and JP servers at the same time - some traffic is ok but I am being matched on JP servers, even though some data is routed through SG.

This was when I was on item mode, not on Full VPN.

On Full VPN, everything works OK, and I am matched in SG properly.

I’d left my answer on the packet dump topic you uploaded at Private Support menu. Please check it there. :slight_smile: You can find your topics at My Topics link.
