Thank you.
So in that particular game instance I had the router set to 40 ms on the ping assist. Am I right in assuming that the solid player icons therefore have a ping of over 40 ms and are connected only because they are within the radius?
Also, I whitelisted that server in Washington state because I was getting error coded out of games constantly and it seemed that that server was always trying to connect to me. There is a server in Oklahoma (much closer) that I also whitelisted. How can I force the Oklahoma connection consistently?
Additionally, this is a 8 player match. I assume that my player icon wouldn't be indicated on the map, but where is the 7th player?
