Hive Sends you to Europe

[TheCrafter8000]

What happened?

When I try to connect to the hive with the server selector, it makes me connect to the europe server instead. And when I try to join my friends server is U.S. on the friends list in the hive, it just kicks me back to the server list. It doesnt do this with the other servers like cubecraft.

Expected Behaviour?

If you are on dns settings for the U.S, and you select the hive, it should connect you to U.S. servers and not Europe

Steps to reproduce.

Use one of the U.S. Server Selectors
Connect to the server list
Connect to the hive
Have a friend/second account connect to the hive without the dns settings
Make sure you have them added on the hive
On the friend/second accounts screen you should see your account is in the Europe hub
On your account, click on your friend/second accounts name and click join server
Wait, and it should kick you to the server selector instead

Possible duplicate of #254.

Are you using the main DNS of Bedrock Connect to connect to the Server List or a self hosted instance?

My fault, yes this is a the same as #254, I am using the first 2 U.S. DNS on the list. The others do not work for me.

Unfortunately, we can't do anything really about it initially connecting to Europe, due to how the connection to the server works for featured servers on BedrockConnect (Grabs the IP address from the featured server's IP domain on the BedrockConnect host server's end)

For the main DNS, 104.238.130.180, I appear to be able to be able to switch to the U.S. region without issue if you use the "Region Selector" in the Hive hub area (closely behind where you spawn in the hub) Not sure yet why the join friend's server option isn't working, but you should be able to use the "Region Selector" to get onto U.S. if you haven't tried already.

EDIT: The above solution appear to only work for 104.238.130.180. The 173.82.100.84 U.S. BC instance doesn't currently have the same DNS fixes in place that allow the Region Selector to work as 104.238.130.180 does. The solution below though, adding hivebedrock.us to your server list, should work

Alternatively, if you don't want to have to use the Region Selector every time to connect to U.S., when in the BedrockConnect serverlist you can try adding hivebedrock.us, so it's on your server list. Upon joining that, you should connect to the U.S. region of the Hive without having to use the Region Selector.

Unless there has been changes since i made this post, you cant connect to na servers, it will just kick you back to the server list

and that is only on the main instance
