K0NSPIRACY

Try this:
Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC) Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client You'll want to ensure Ping Assist is set to 0, then see if it works better.

So is this for all platforms or just works on PC? I play on Xbox One X so would be useful to know if also works on console.

@Netduma Fraser Did a first play test yesterday using polygon geo filter to Spain and Italy, and didn’t have any issues at all with XBL chat or in game chat. I also didn’t have to add my friends to the allow list. I’ll keep play testing for a week, but it looks like updating to 3.3.280 and doing the cloud resync may have resolved this issue.

Just to clarify, my issue is that XBL party chat disconnects when polygon geo filter to Italy and Spain is enabled…it works fine if I have a 1000 mile radius from UK.
I don’t actually know what testers cloud means but I was previously using an early access version (can’t version number). I upgraded to 3.3.280 last week so will update cloud and test again.

UDP protocol when used over PORT 3075 makes possible the transmission of a datagram message from one computer to an application running in another computer (not all servers use 3074)

Real world environment testing...

Thanks. I’ve done all that but struggling to see your ports on the image…I’ve just used the ports recommended on Activision and Microsoft websites. Are there any other ports that should be forwarded other than those?
Whats your take on QoS? Leave at 100% or use sliders?

Ping is king but with mw 19 and up the lower the ping the higher sbmm to compensate for it
start the game start your xbox party then turn on your geo filter, make sure you have all correct ports forwarded and upnp off, i would also get your home pin to the server you want to play on then set the circle to 200miles so you force the game to put you in that server only see how it feels if you like it stay there if you dont then close the game clear saved game data and profile then change the home pin and repeat. make sure you disable geo filter every time you close the game. if i want easier lobbies and not try as hard for me it the Washington server
Lag compression engine.so the lower your ping is the more competitive the lag compression engine is going to make your lobbies
you need to test and find out, for me when i play multiplayer i set the bandwidth to 30mb down and 10mb up for warzone i get bandwidth to 1gige and 50mb but i change the slider to 50% down and 90% up i actually have screen shots of this in the first post of this thread 
 
if you like tinkering around with things then update but if you want the most reliable build stick to 3.3.280

Thanks Fraser. This will be an awesome feature if it can be added. 👍

Yes. Around 80-90ms.
if I play low ping on the UK/Europe servers, it should be a benefit, but it’s not. Ping isn’t king in this game, neither is (a good) connection. 
 

No nothing you need to do specifically just as you would normally use, all devices connected to R2 for example

I think hes full of shit, ray tracing didn't work to good for cold war, i think thats why they didnt put it back in vanguard and in mw2 2022. I honestly believe the game is performing as bad as it is too cause of cross play, Copy and pasting code for 3 different platforms. Just my 2 cents

No it won't matter what firmware version you're running. Fingers crossed, keep us posted!

Ok will do. Thanks Fraser 👍

Making a lot of good progress, a lot of things to whitelist basically, should be finished on Monday

Okay we'll have another look into this, thanks for the report!

Ok I’ll test it later. Thanks Fraser 👍

I responded in your other topic

Yes that's correct, whichever is easiest really!

What’s the update for the XBL chat servers and how does it work? Could you reply with details in my thread please Fraser?

Thanks Fraser. I’ve never had any issues connecting to friends in game or chatting with them using in game chat when using geo filter so haven’t got them added at the moment (obviously happy to do so if needed). The issue only appears when trying to chat via the XBL chat servers so if you guys can take care of that side then it would be awesome! Please keep me updated 😎👍

If it just uses servers that's no problem at all, we can resolve that quite easily, if it still does rely on direct connections to friends that's not something we can do automatically - we don't know who your friends are, you'd just need to add them manually but mostly if you do it once you won't need to do it again.
Don't worry about it too much, as it's the weekend I thought it may be helpful to get a head start on the servers but if they're hard to identify we'll get that sorted.

That’s not how it works…ping is not king in this game due to other players connecting from further away with higher ping connections and lag compensation. As an example, if I play on UK servers with low ping I have more instances of shoot first die first, and you can clearly see what appears to be enemy characters being accelerated.

Yes, I'll add this as a suggestion. The team may have already looked into it in the past, but we may be able to whitelist the addresses for XBL chat servers so you don't have to. Thanks for posting!

Not too much difference between them, they should work in the same way in this instance
