I honestly don't believe it's the Leo patch that's causing the problem, but it might be. Personally, I believe it's a matter of the Server list that is inside the network code for the game, doesn't have all the Servers listed inside of it. So the Network code is trying to determine which is the closes Server to you and it's picking a server outside our region. This would make more sense to me than a patch mismatch, but we will find out today, as both versions should be on patch 1.02.
The only reason why I have a second copy of the game is because I pre-ordererd the LE version and fully paid it, and Aksys delayed the LE to long for my taste, so I ended up getting the Digital JP version on JP launch day. I wasn't even planning on opening my LE version, but it's a good thing I did though, as I wouldn't of found out about the issue.
