Hi folks,
I'm from italy and i'm trying to play only in the arabian servers (El Bahrein i think) and north-est U.S.A.
No problem about the arabian serves, i can play there normally (with high ping of course between 90 and 110) but i cannot play in the american servers: don't know why! I made a big circle to keep 3-4 american servers inside but it doesn't work, i cannot find any game.
In the netduma pingmap i see that the value of my ping to the arabian servers is more or less the same to the american servers, so it's not about a "too high ping problem".
i set the ping assist to 0, enable strict mode. My XBOX is set as "Xbox device" in the device manager, ad blocker not enable, 3.3.615 firmware version
The second issue is:
Sometimes (very often to be fair) the xbox live party group/chat doesn't work if i have this geofilter active (in these places, arabia or united states). My friends in the xbox live party are from italy too.
I have open nat, dmz to my xbox, and my ISP modem has in the DMZ my netduma router, and i selecet "Call of duty (series)" in the filter strict options of the geofilter.
