Error could-not-find-server-region
Enginefall "Could not find server region": matchmaking fails
What you see
After pressing Play and heading to your Dagger, the game shows "Error: Could not find server region". Other players in the same thread report "matchmaking failed no servers found" and "Failed to request region".
Usually the servers, not youUnconfirmed
The game could not find a server to put you on. It was reported in June and again on 24 September, the day the playtest opened. Switching region in the main menu (top right) is the official advice for a related problem.
What players try

Check whether other players are hitting it right now
Open the server status page and look at the recent reports. If they are climbing, the servers are the problem and there is nothing to change on your side.

Change your region in the main menu (top right corner)
The official Enginefall Discord has an auto-reply, first posted in June, for players who get a password prompt: it says that means you are trying to reach a server or region that is unavailable or has finished, and to change your region in the main menu, top right, and check which playtest servers are online. It is written for the password prompt, not this message, but the cause it describes is the same kind of problem.

Make sure you are on the playtest version
On 24 September a player who got "servers full" was told by a Hospitality Officer that they were most likely on the wrong version. That was a guess about a related message, not a confirmed cause.

Wait and try again later
In a separate thread on 17 June, a player who was only offered Europe and Asia said two days later that the North American server "was just down" and "is fixed now". In the main thread nobody found a fix, and the message appeared for several players at once.
Reported
What we know and don’t
This comes from one Steam thread. The original poster (19 June) got “Error: Could not find server region” when trying to go to their Dagger after pressing Play. A second player replied the next day with “matchmaking failed no servers found”, and a third posted “Failed to request region” on 8 July. The original poster marked the confirmation as the answer, but nobody offered a fix.
The same “Failed to request region” message was also posted on 8 July in a second thread, “the game not work ?”, where the original poster had instead reported a password prompt for developers or testers at launch.
That is three players over about three weeks, all with the same symptom, none with a solution and no developer reply in the thread. The “no north american right now?” thread (17 to 19 June) is the one case with an outcome: the player’s North American region was missing and came back on its own. We have no evidence of a cause beyond that, so this stays unconfirmed.
On 9 June, a reply written as the studio (no visible staff badge) told a player from Australia that “for this playtest we have US, EU and Hong Kong based servers” and that the studio would expand the server locations for launch. So if you are outside those regions, a missing region or a high ping may simply be how the playtest was set up.
On 24 September, the day the closed playtest went live, a player on the official Discord asked whether anyone else on the NA region was getting “could not find server for region”. So this is happening on the current build too.
The earlier reports come from the June demo. If you are seeing it, post what you see on the server status page so we can tell whether it is happening to others right now.
