Ste, for now those settings will only work when joining through a friends lobby, not solo and ONLY on MP..... for Blackout strict needs to be off and the geo region much much larger. Alternatively just play on spectate for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Something is definitely abnormal about the way things are behaving. With Filtering Mode ON before booting the game I don't seem to find a Blackout Quads lobby on the Xbox One.
Then I tried starting the game in spectator then changing to filtered mode, this way I did find a game with my geo restrictions but after that game finished the same issue repeated of not finding a lobby.
R1 - Milestone 1.3 - BLOPS 4 - Xbox One
My experience with Milestone 1.3 and the new Blops 4 12GB patch today.
When joining a friends lobby everything worked fine, MP/Blackout. MP strict mode on / auto ping on focused solely on the UK. For Blackout I always turn strict off and vastly expand the geo zone to all of Europe.
When playing solo I had to turn the geo filter to spectate to get a match in Blackout. Any changes you make require a game restart.
As someone who has had the R1 for a long time I'm genuinely impressed with the changes to auto ping which now show Tick Rates and Send Rates.
After following the debacle that is Black Ops 4 rates, the requirement of a bridged console and deep wireshark knowledge has made this addition to DumaOS a game changer for stat nerds.
What I'd like is for the duma to log and offer a graphical output file for the course of the game/match which could be presented in forums or videos from the start of the data capture to the end.
Cheers
