Matchmaking regions informations

[zelytra]

Description of needs

When a player start the game, it sometimes need to know on which region (US EAST, US WEST, Amsterdam, Australia...) is it. The only current way to see this is to join a server and see the location of the server:

BetterFleet can found the match making server of the player even before the player join the game. With this information the player will know if he need to restart his game to switch of region and match the same one as the other player. A message should also explain how matchmaking and region switch work (the game restart technic or use of VPN)
