Couple of issues in COD WW2 on XB1


Recommended Posts

First, when trying to deny peer connections, which are common when you are in a lobby awaiting a match to start, when I hit deny, I leave the lobby and the game connects me back to the same connection.  I have verified this by matching the id.

 

Second, when searching for matches, a lot of times the game won't find any matches.  I have to go to the Geo Filter screen, and re apply the Call of Duty profile and it will work.  Sometimes I only have to do it 1-2 times a day, sometimes several.  It does not matter if I have friends in my party or not.

 

I'm on the Hotfix firmware v. 2.20.

There is a deliberate, two minute delay between you applying a deny rule and it taking effect. This is to prevent cheating (imagine if you used it to boot someone from your game). If you wait a couple of minutes you should not be able to connect to them again

 

Also - remember that if the lobby is hosted by another connection (e.g. a server), denying a peer will not block that lobby or block that peer connecting to it. Deny is used to prevent a bad peer from hosting a lobby again

It sounds like you have been setting your range too small. After clicking the Call of Duty profile, what distance have you been setting your radius to?

Okay, I misunderstood what that does, so that's good to know.  Thank you.  As for the second I usually set it for about 400-500 miles.  The profile defaults to 717 miles.  I live in the southern United States (Texas).  If i set it higher, I risk getting connected to servers in Mexico which, in my experience, do not have the same quality internet as in the US.

Yeah so that is smaller than we recommend. A way around that is to just move your location higher up so you still get your state within the radius and exclude Mexico.

Okay, so maybe I don't fully understand how the Geo Filter works as well.  It is my understanding that the Geo Filter will attempt to connect you to the closest server whether it be peer or dedicated based on where you set your home location.  Is this accurate? 

 

As an example, if I set my home location in order to prevent connecting outside the US, I would need to move my home location about 700 miles north (to the state of Kansas).  If I do this, will I not then be connecting to servers there first instead of where I am actually physically located in Houston, TX?

Correct. That isn't very far in networking terms, cross country you definitely want to avoid. I'd recommend setting it like this (I used the R1 map for this pic):

It's a 717 miles radius, includes Texas in it's entirety and some surrounding states, close enough for a good connection.

 

The options are all there for you to play around with and find what works for you.
