Fifa 18 Ps4 Always an away side


Recommended Posts

Surely if everyone with a netduma would have this issue if it was a port issue. Fifa will use the same ports for everyone.

 

I don't have any issues at all with getting home games

u got BT hub connected to netduma? can you show me ur BT and netduma settings please

Are there any other issues present with your connection? Can you access webpages correctly? Do you have an open NAT on your console and in-game?

 

If you're on BT you'll require PPPoE. Make sure your PPPoE details are entered on the WAN settings page. Please screenshot the Geo-filter when you're in-game, and make sure you only enable the Geo-filter once you are on the multiplayer menu on Fifa.

Have found this to be a problem with the NetDuma via BT Infinity, away team roughly 80% of time. Never had the issue with Virgin Media and exactly same set up. Raised it with Fraser for FIFA 17 but he didn't believe it could be the NetDuma. It clearly is something to do with BT and NetDuma, as not using NetDuma home team 80% of time. None FIFA players will wonder why this is even a problem. Using your own stadium is so important when trying to play in higher divisions. And we spent months trying to fix this have open nat and tried everything. The BT and NetDuma battle raises another point about to raise in the forum... wireless constantly dropping (we don't use wireless for gaming but family use it!)

We can't affect how a game decides to work other than on a connection basis. There is no option on the router that would allow you to play a home game. I literally cannot think of any setting that would affect this. If with the Geo-filter disabled you get the same the it's not a Duma issue as it just acts like a normal router in that scenario.

Hi fraser

 

Could it be the possibility of the congestion control settings on the netduma? (being set at 70%)

 

The home side is supposedly the side with a "better" connection (deemed by EA) , maybe with the congestion control setting in place at 70%, EA considers us as a "poorer" connection and hence always the away side? 

Could this be a possibility? 

 

I have switched to another router and have 80%-90% chance of home games.

 

Anyway, the overall connection as an away side is no different to home games

As long as at 70% you have enough bandwidth to play & host a game & you have a low ping I don't see why they would prefer someone with more bandwidth when it wouldn't be needed.

 

Perhaps try not using CC and see if you get more home games
