RickyT Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi all, hope you have had a great christmas! I'm needing a little advice here as a complete noob the whole jump to the netduma is a learning curve for me and at first set up i could tell the difference in my games once i finally got it up and running. The reason i'm needing advice is regards the Geo Filter. Today i have been having very poor games, and looking further into it i think im connecting to the same host all the time? I'm not sure if this is even possible but i cannot add the ip to the deny list either? Heres a pic Below the ip all i see is PING TRACE POPOUT? Also does any one have a link regards setting the netduma up for Bops3 PS4? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestUndead Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 What game are you playing. If you are playing blops 3 I'm guessing it's because their dedicated servers although I could be completely wrong. i know Fraser says to have this setup on your router http://forum.netduma.com/topic/8741-black-ops-3-compatability-cloud-update-now-live/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted December 27, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted December 27, 2015 Bops 3 mate. your probs right Yes, @DestUndead is right - you can't rate dedicated servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yes, @DestUndead is right - you can't rate dedicated servers. so would i be right in finding a good host, rate it 100% and in future is should chose the rated host instead od dedi?

Only if the dedicated server is not within the host filtering parameters and the game tried to put you on the 100% rated host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll set it so its out of bounds and test if it still connects me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyT Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 If i click on the actual nuke symbol at the bottom i get the ID: 476cd29d09e6383d Distance: 218mi The dotted lines around it is the host id i seem to be connecting too alot ID: 476c410c09e6383d Distance: 218mi These are the two id's i cannot rate so im dedicated servers Heres a pic Going from the pic what host would you say im connected too? also does the actually dotted circle have to be fully out of the Geo radar or just the center?

mark Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 If your playing on ps4 that looks like the south coast dedi I think u have to have the radius completely out of the filter circle for it not to be included as far as I'm aware bo3 will always put u on a dedi first so if it's in your radius u will connect to it before anything else I hate the server in Ireland so I tend to keep my radius at 1000km and move my home location further south to get half of uk and some of Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Morning, All night i have been paying attention to the geo filter and i've tested all i can think of and it seems like i'm always connect to the south dedi? I was actually in a game when i print screened the pic below. It seems no matter were i place my geo filter the dedi pops up??? I wouldnt really mind but for some strange reason my games have gone back to playing really poor. i've not changed any settings etc, even my morning games are poor but yet they was awsome... puzzled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually in a game when i print screened the pic below. It seems no matter were i place my geo filter the dedi pops up??? You're connecting via Ping Assist. Only way to not connect to that dedi is put PA to 0 and make sure the geo filter doesn't cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's a ping assist found server (the dotted circle / nuke symbol depending on size). That's why you are connecting outside that radius. Word of warning though on next part; - if you lower ping assist or disable it you won't connect to that server. But you may find you can't get a game at all or will have lengthy match making times.

mark Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have my ping assist on 0 I find plenty of games although looking at the screen shot u will need to move your home location over land either uk and Ireland missing the dedi or Germany Eastern Europe because ATM your filter radius mainly covers the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 cheers guys. Mark that was just a test to see if it still connected. i wasnt aware of ping assist haha DOHHHH! I'll lower ping to zero and see how i get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLittleChap Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just wondering, what's your ping like to the host when you're playing? I tend to get a sub 20ms ping to that server and I'm based up North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to get a sub 20ms ping to that server and I'm based up North. Around 18ms. Midlands... Had a few games with ping assist set to zero and it seemed better gaming not connected to the southern host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted December 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Ricky, bit late to this thread, but just letting everyone know in the next update we've added temp server ban due to popular demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi Ricky, bit late to this thread, but just letting everyone know in the next update we've added temp server ban due to popular demand Thanks for the update. i could not have read your reply at a more frustrating time after just enjoying a 19k - 59D thrashing on Bops3. I decided to message the guy who thrashed me with over 30 kills to find out he was from the Netherlands? so this news is good news to me as i still keep connecting to the south server This type of connection is the reason i purchased the netduma as it claimed to eliminate lag, or at least help. Problem is how the hell did a guy outside of my Geo filter get in my lobby? i have it set to strict and 0Ping assist? it dont make sense... Not only this, i have struggled so much since my threads with laggy games its unreal, i even resulted in disconnecting my netduma and reverting back to my home hub 5 and i had better games? still laggy of course so i cannot win.. Another thing i was unhappy to find out is the netduma does not support Star Wars Battlefront. I feel for what i paid your router should be open to all games, or at least when i purchased thats what i expected. There is alot of cons with the netduma in my experience, it does not feel a stable experience at all, saying this i'm far from understanding how all this works as much as i'd like to and after the new year i plan on digging deep into all this. I'm just glad its new years eve and the last thing on my mind now is bop3 or i'd probably be in tears haha. I hope this is not taken as a direct moan as its more a light hearted reply/moan lol This being said i wish the forum, owners and Admins all the best for the new year and hopefully 2016 brings good news for us online gamers. Thanks for listning to us Netduma Iain All The Very Best All Ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 U only connect to hosts in your filter radius the rest of the lobby could be from anywhere in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
