yes, game is booted up and at the start matchmaking screen at that point I enable the Geo-Filter. I was able to get connected to the Atlanta server last night, but never to the texas or Southern Florida servers. This was the first time i was able to get anywhere near my targeted server. I will attempt a full factory reset today and check back in with further details.
For testing purposes i also attempted to connect to some EU servers with a 1500 mile radius. 30 min search time and no games found. I tested Solo, Duos, Trio and Quads with the same outcome. On the game it will show connecting, but then start to research for a game at 18ms ping and works its was up to over 100ms ping
