WelshReaper Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was wondering if anyone had a solution on how to make you ping higher as a trial. I play alot of bo4 and have a very good connection but am getting beaten by people with terrible Internet and bit even good players I might add lol ,so I wanna try increasing my lag to see if it has any effect with game performance people might say lower ping is better but I've hooked up my phone to the ps4 and found a better gaming experience overall which to me makes no sense and tbh it's unrealistic to play through phone data and with even with sim losing his temper and deleting the game show you even people with knowledge and good Internet can find this game irritating.

progprogprog Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 In all honest your much better of using the geo to force another server as I have tried netem and to be honest with you theres no advantage to using it. Also blackops 4 is a very broken game in terms of inconsistency as I had a gunship last week then this week nothing(my jitter is minimal) BIG__DOG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 As prog say's it's best to use geo filter to force a server. I live in the UK and have started to force connect to french and spanish servers instead of local UK servers and I have had some amazing results. Just remember if you use geo filter and change locations it needs to be altered while you console is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshReaper Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Maybe that's why I have struggled to find different servers. Me personally soon as I put the geofilter to a different locations wasn't finding any games but never tried it whilst the ps4 is off thanks for that mate 👍 will try it tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BO4 lag comp sometimes favours mid-range pings like 30ms or 40ms. That way your ping is close to the low-ping players and close to the high-ping players, so the difference is minimised. If there's like a 60ms ping difference between you and another player, BO4 freaks out a bit / hit detection goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshReaper Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks of the response and great products(xr500 and r1) love it. but One of the big issues I am having is that I am part of a team playing in European ametuer competitive competition trying to build the euro competitive sides up and whilst scrimming it can get crazy hence why I wanted to see if a increase in ping had any impact on how the game performs.would you Have u any advice on something that might help in this case. Just feels like I'm shooting at people with level 3 armour on and dying like Bo2. Tbh in pubs u can get round a bit of rubbish or lagging lobbies but when u trying to win scrims with high level players 3kd plus 400 points per minute players u don't want any handicaps if u can.and I know its servers faults rather than anybody else but any help would go along way thanks.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 29, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2019 So are you playing in custom games then rather than traditional matchmaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshReaper Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Both tbh if we ain't in custom matches we practising on matchmaking servers which normally putting us against full teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 29, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2019 If you're doing matchmaking then the suggestion of forcing servers further away would work. Custom games you can't do that. You could attempt to download while playing and disable QoS, that would raise your ping but I wouldn't advise it as it's uncontrollable then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshReaper Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's still worth a go. Would you have any idea by connecting the ps4 through your hybrid Vpn cause ping to go higher with some testing could maybe I could get it slightly higher maybe connection to a Spanish or French server?

It's not really worth it mate - you'd be paying for a VPN subscription for no real benefit. You can force matchmaking to put you in foreign lobbies by setting your Geo-Filter radius over those countries and enabling Strict Mode with Ping Assist at 0ms. That'll do the same sort of job, so give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By putting home location to distant countries e.g UK player setting home location to Australia with 0 ping assist, Strict mode , WILL NEVER FIND A GAME. it will give this error " The lobby is not join able " If you really want to try high ping, sign up for a vpn trial to test things. E.g I have Torguard Vpn. I connect to Australian server via vpn configured in netduma vpn.... also set home location to Australia. Already ping is high due to Vpn connection between Uk & Australia. If you do not use vpn, 99.9% u will get error The lobby is not joinable. Try yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ur gonna be a laggy fuc....r , killing everyone & taking no damage at all. Kids r going to scream hacku hacku ** Vpn speeds are extremely slower, if u got 350 download, u will hardly get 10mb download with vpn. So yes, do homework first before u come complaining ( quoting Torguard vpn ..... u may get better speeds with different vpn : i.e "homework" ) * I absolutely like Vpn feature of Netduma r1, no need to buy another router for VPN.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2019 Torguard support is right, 10mbps will probably be the max speed through VPN that you get on the router but as you just want it for gaming thats plenty so just apply to the console S13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set home location to Czech republic with 600km radius , strict mode , ping assist 0. Usually I get into noob lobbies why ? People in Czech & neighbouring poor eu countries aren't getting so many benefits as in UK, Germany & France to sit home & game all day & get good..... ! If I use Vpn , I disable geo filter completely . 3 hours ago, Netduma Fraser said: Torguard support is right, 10mbps will probably be the max speed through VPN that you get on the router but as you just want it for gaming thats plenty so just apply to the console Thanks Fraser, yes 10 mbps is more than enough. Tried few games while connected to Miami, Florida , USA , ping was 110-140ms with 0% packet loss. Totally different gaming community there & totally different experience. *** keeping Torguard. There is 50% life time discount code, $30/year Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollutionblues Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 6 hours ago, K-SLaY said: Can anyone provide a tutorial on how to use geofilter to force servers? 1. Set your location to where you want to force the server. 2. Make sure strict mode is enabled. 3. Set ping assist to 0. 4. Make sure fast search is disabled. 5 Enable filtering mode. 6. Search for a game (sometimes it can take longer to find a game when forcing a server so be patient) Make sure you do all these steps before you boot up the game. If you make any adjustments to the geofilter after this then you need to reboot the game. Netduma Jack, Alex49H, S13 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
