- Launch Fall Guys and go to Settings
- Click on Options
- Find the Server Region option under the Region heading
- Change this setting from Automatic to a new Server that most closely matches your area
If this option no longer persists in the future then you should change back to Automatic, as this setting will most closely match you to the best region for your location.
