No, I haven’t blocked any servers atm. Ok, I’ll check that and report back. 

Also, should I be able to connect to any of the closer server shown on the heatmap? Like the Dallas or Atlanta one?
 

thank you.

Ping Heatmap just shows you what servers the game has, it's not a guarantee that every server you see is connectable. If they're close to you then I should think you would be able to connect to them yes.

There are multiple issues I am seeing with connections to BF6

1. Oklahoma always showing as the server (this appears to have been fixed)

2. Dallas and Atlanta servers not connectible (Not sure if this is a duma issue or EA issue)


3.  Servers allowed to connect outside of the selected region with strict mode enabled and ping assist off. (I always connect to a server in VA or CA).  As the server starts to connect it shows up as a yellow triangle like its being blocked but then it allows it.


My PC is also setup as a console

1. Good to hear, though we're not convinced it is at the moment so we're working on a cloud at the moment
2. Impossible to say really BUT it leads into #3 as you're not forcing currently
3. You'll need to disable Geo-Latency then you won't get any games outside your radius (except maybe Oklahoma unless its fixed for you)

Ok I disabled geo-latency and kept my Texas filter.  Battlefield is unable to connect to anything, I see all the other servers trying to connect but it ultimately fails.  Its looking like the dallas and atlanta servers are not active.

But now I have a question.  What is the purpose of strict mode if having geo-latency bypasses it?

This is exactly the problem I’ve been encountering.

Are you able to filter other servers than those two? 

Really there is no current purpose for strict mode, it was implemented a long time ago to combat an issue with Destiny matchmaking, basically for every other game it should be enabled and was moved so people don't really change it but we've kept the option in case anyone does still need it. Geo-Latency tries to filter by ping instead and this can in some cases lead to games outside your radius being connected to.
