Your ping sounds fine and it's unlikely you're experiencing any congestion so I think forcing some different servers might give you a better experience

ping 8.8.8.8

—- Mettre le PC en filaire derrière le R3

As above I wouldn't rely on that, try this instead https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ 

Ça donne quoi, si tu fais un ping vers 8.8.8.8 sur ton PC ?

@purpleandgold33You shouldn't rely on it since it's inaccurate and requires an update. I believe they are working on a fix to improve its accuracy. In the meantime, adjust your sqm manually.

My ping heatmap is not working for black ops 7. i have tried resyncing the cloud aswell and it just doesn't seem to work... Any ideas?

Its not just you, the servers are in really bad shape. I run into this a lot as well. You gotta just keep backing out of lobbies until you get into some smoother ones. I wouldn't soubt if they manipulate things too. That's been talked about since they integrated in 2019. Another thing I would suggest is turning off crossplay if you are on console. It will help. Cheers!

Glad you're all having an open converstation about networking, that's great! If I could ask you to take the conversation elsewhere though, this is the Netduma support forum, so not the place to be promoting alternative routers

Thanks Frazer, sorry this question has probably been asked a 1,000 times too! Cheers!

Game servers don't respond to traditional pings so we try to be clever in order to get a successful ping but it doesn't always work. It will then try to fall back to the trace method which won't give you the correct ping in most cases but hopefully somewhere near it, however this can also fail. So when both fails it won't be able to provide a result. The high ping in this case is likely due to not being able to ping it correctly

It's not that. Something def is off i have had the same settings since day 1. I think thry might upped the SBMM. this poopy is crazy.

What I do with friends with playstation party;
Geo off
Start ps party untill everybody joined
Set up geo
Start game
And works like a charm!

I don't know about that but they'll have their terms that they think you must have broken. No worries, not sure if both consoles have Discord but that could be an alternative option

Well yeah, if you're chat banned they will prevent people from being able to hear you. Presumably because people have reported you for whatever reason

Not sure. I'll try again and pay more attention to it and update the cloud too. I'll give feedback as well. Thanks Fraser

We did a cloud update recently so that could be the cause - are you seeing anything on the map when it happens?

This could be due to crossplay, we don't see any servers on the map for it for some reason - presumably if you disable the Geo-Filter it works fine?

Geo Filter home pin set to Washington and geo fence set to my backyard (Blocked ip address for a little over a hr)
SBMM and EOMM completely broken

I been getting a lot of people asking me to help them with this and i honestly believe its not a network issue. Check out this video Mutex just posted on X

Here is my reply to what i think the issue is

 

It's been like that for me too sometimes out of the blue it connects me where I want but most of the time nope. refuses to do anything no matter how many things I've tried from listening to the support. 

Ah brilliant to hear that, well done on getting it sorted. We're working on any issues that have been reported thus far and hope to have a big update by the end of the week. We're able to get updates out way faster on DumaOS 4 so should just get better and better!

I got it Frazer!! It's working. She's is beautiful Hopefully no more issues!

You need a rig that can produce 540 FPS to be able to take advantage of that, even with a 4090 or 7900XTX you will not see those framerates.
 
Also the difference is getting smaller every time you up the Hz rating:
60 Hz = 16,6ms between frames
120 Hz = 8,3ms between frames
240 Hz = 4,2ms between frames
360 Hz = 2,7ms between frames
540 Hz = 1,9ms between frames
 
For the amount of manipulation happening from the game, ie active latency balancing and skill based matchmaking I would not invest in anything over average hardware as it's simply pointless. Even stuff like routers. Average home net has 1ms between device and router and for a fiber connection you have 1ms between device and ISP node. Do you really think QoS and all this BS matters if the game simply matches your latency in lobby to the other players? You can't even tell if you are playing on a 10ms, 30 ms or 50ms server in game due to the lag compensation systems. 

So glad I stopped paying CoD years ago.
Sounds like its just getting worse and worse.

Cool, thanks Fraser! I pre-ordered! Excited for the new hardware!
