Can't switch to other data centers

[NamiQesh]

I went to log into the game today on my N'ami character on the Light Data Center but I had last been on a character on the Materia Data Center, but when I go to choose a new Data Center it just highlights the Data Center but will not do anything if they are clicked, I can log into the character on Materia but can't switch to any of the other Data Centers.

This is on the PS5, and I have logged out of the game completly several times and went back in both it keeps doing the same.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Forums.

Please note with patch 7.1, changes have been made to the Character Selection Screen. More specifically, players can now change Data Center via the World Selection window. For more information, please refer to this article: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...65c99677cb00e2

We hope this information is helpful. Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

I came here to report this same issue. This fix worked for me -- I was able to select a new DC from the World Selection drop-down menu above the character list -- but SE still needs to fix this.

I am on PS5 too. When I log out on Materia and I try to change data centers by choosing Data Center from the title screen, the cursor on the Data Center Selection screen is in the wrong place. Normally it points to the regions -- "NORTH AMERICAN DATA CENTERS," "EUROPEAN DATA CENTERS," "JAPANESE DATA CENTER," "OCEANIAN DATA CENTER." When I am logged out on Materia, the cursor is lower and indented, pointing between the second and third data centers in the list (between Crystal and Dynamis in NA, for instance). I can move the cursor back and forth between the different regions using the directional arrows on the gamepad, but nothing happens when I press X to select one. So far as I can tell, the Data Center Selection screen works just fine except when logged out on the Oceanic servers.

Thank you for the fix, I must have missed it in the patch notes, can finally get to the raid and MSQ tomorrow.
