Hello Netduma Team,
I am following up on my previous request regarding an Istanbul server for EA SPORTS FC.
I first reported this issue on July 17, and at the time I was told that the matter was being looked into. However, almost two months have now passed, and there is still no Istanbul server available for EA SPORTS FC.
FC 27 is now approaching launch, with pre-orders opening on September 17, and a new Netduma firmware update has also been released. Unfortunately, Istanbul is still not available for FC 27.
This is becoming increasingly frustrating for Turkish players. We have been waiting for an Istanbul server for a long time, and the problem directly affects latency, matchmaking and the overall online gameplay experience.
At this point, I would really appreciate a clear and specific update, rather than simply being told that it is being investigated.
Could you please clarify:
Is an Istanbul server for EA SPORTS FC 27 actually planned?
Has Netduma confirmed that EA is working on or preparing Istanbul server infrastructure?
If it is planned, what is the expected timeframe for Istanbul to become available?
Will Istanbul be available when FC 27 launches, or should Turkish players expect to wait even longer?
Does the latest firmware contain any changes related to FC 27 server detection/routing?
I originally raised this request on July 17 because the lack of an Istanbul server was already a problem in FC. Now FC 27 is about to launch, and we still have no clear information.
I understand that server infrastructure ultimately depends on EA, but I would appreciate knowing whether this is something Netduma is actively pursuing with EA and whether there is any realistic ETA.
Please don't just tell us that it is being looked into again. We have been waiting since July 17. At this stage, we need a concrete status update and, if possible, an estimated date.
Thank you.
