Just to say Fraser, tried without updating my firmware and it is briefly flashing a blocked Oklahoma server before preventing me from going into a game. I'll try updating now but is this due to the mislocated ones? I've screencapped the two below for what it's worth. Is it worth my time doing the update? I did resync my cloud but I normally am just on with my phone so don't want to bother without a guarantee it'll fix anything. Thanks again!

I'll give this a bash next time I'm on mate, thanks again for being so responsive on here!

Cool! I'll have a look next time I try to see if I can spot something quickly coming and going. I'm on 3.3.539 and have the XR500. Would be good if there was a fix and we would like to use the fence primarily.

I'm actually not weirdly. I only see the authentication server on the West Coast of the US and a few UK ones (my party ones if I'm in a group). If this is what it's doing is there no way to actually fix it?

Yeah, exactly the same issue solo, the joining animation starts and then the animation freezes (game still running) and puts me back to the menu having to click to find game again. Also yeah, have tried filtering to different areas etc.

But with the VPN off and solely filtering this happens mate. It happens with any combination apart from simply not using anything on the OS.

Get a game no bother with filtering disabled mate yeah! Been playing a fair bit. It's odd too as the rest of my party will join the game but I'll be left on the home page in a frozen joining animation until it stops. It's as if finding a lobby outside my filtering zone, putting me in it anyway and then the filter blocks my joining if that makes sense.

Whenever I'm using filtering of VPN on my ps5 I can't join games on BF6. The game matchmakers, I start the joining animation but never actually join the lobby and get out back to the main menu after a few minutes. Have tried the device both as a console and a PC and various filtering combos. Any ideas?

I'm not using dums with bf right now as when I search for a game it finds one but leaves me in the joining animation without putting me in a game. So with any filtering I actually can't join a game. Ps5 for what it's worth.

This not likely the same mislocated servers just like cod? There's a huge clump that aren't Oklahoma that continually appear to be there.

That Oklahoma problem is a recurring issue as there were a mountain of they dislocated servers there for call of duty too. Mine wouldn't connect to them if they were outside my zones mind you.

Hi Fraser, I've been doing more messing about and I hope you don't mind me asking here as opposed to starting a new thread. First quick wee question. If I'm using hybrid VPN. If I swap from the PC to using the duma app, will this automatically turn it off as the option isn't available in the app? Secondly, in order to use the hybrid VPN I have to make my playstation a pc device on duma. When I'm searching for a game, a non-authentication peer server pings in London even if my VPN is set nowhere near there. Do you know what this server is? Can provide an ID if needed. If this server isn't in my filter the game says "can't connect to data server" so I have to allow it. It's also definitely not the authentication server as that is pinging in Warsaw despite being in Dublin (mislocated). Thanks for any advice/insight!

Yeah, I have no real technical knowledge on it so will defer to your expertise! There's so many that it would take me ages mate. Easier for me to just avoid that region with my filter.

They will be pretty aware of how many are required in each region for each bucket though, no? Would likely have the same number of "dead servers" regardless. Yeah as I say, due to that mislocated cluster in Oklahoma, I've been paying a bit more attention. I might play about with this soon and see what it's like.

I did think as much but thought there was an off chance that to speed up matchmaking they were assigned buckets, rather than the first player to join a server deciding the MMR of that server. If that makes sense. I can't say I'm noticing too many recurring servers but I've not properly looked either.
