MikeM4887 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I just got my NetDuma set up and followed the setup guide from NetDuma and updated to the latest firmware (as of yesterday) I am trying to play Destiny on PS4 and I have geofiltering enabled, with 600miles max distance and 50ms ping assist as well as strict selected. I live in North Carolina, USA and despite these setting I am still getting paired with people from the UK and California who are well outside the 600miles and when I ping them its comes back around 130ms. Is this how the geo filter is supposed to work? I thought it would force them to meet both the distance and ping requirements. (or at least 1 of them) Any help with this would be appreciated.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted January 8, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hey, welcome to the forum Is the GeoFilter definitely enabled? The button should say 'Disable' when it is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM4887 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks! Yes I am positive the GeoFilter in enabled (it says Disable underneath the system) I tried to take a screen shot but for some reason the page here freezes when I tried to upload it. http://imgur.com/gallery/6k4GZih This is a screen shot of my settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted January 8, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted January 8, 2016 Can you try uploading it here. Maybe you are connecting to it through ping assist? Ping assist doesn't make you connect to hosts under the specified ping, but instead allows hosts from outside the GeoFilter to connect if they are under the ping assist value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM4887 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I got an image uploaded and edited my previous post to include the link but here is the link from uploading to where you suggested. http://forum.netduma.com/uploads/images/1452283287-U6194.jpg Also, how would I be able to tell if I am connecting through ping assist?

If the host is outside the geo radios but giving you ping values under your ping assist setting. That would mean it's ignoring the geo filter due to finding a host within the ping limit you set.

Ok, would that mean than at the time they connected to me they were under 50ms and just throughout the game their ping went up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's possible I suppose, but how I explained is how ping assist is supposed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM4887 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 That is possible. What was the ping when you pinged them? one of the players was 183ms in the UK and the other in Cali was around 150ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted January 8, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted January 8, 2016 one of the players was 183ms in the UK and the other in Cali was around 150ms Was it possible that your GeoFilter settings had allowed you to connect within the last 2 mins and you hadn't waited for the anti-cheat feature to disconnect you from them? Did you follow the instructions such as refreshing and re-adding the device to the GeoFilter when upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The way i'm reading this is he's asking about other players connecting, not the host. The router only works with you. For example, it will allow you to connect to a more local host (inside your geo filter or using ping assist). However, it does not restrict other players from connecting. You can be in the US with a host that's a mile away yet there could still be another player in the UK or somewhere else that connects. The router/geofilter only work with your connection and do not restrict other players from connecting to a host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted January 9, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted January 9, 2016 This is with Destiny though and I think everyone has to be inside the GeoFilter with Destiny (maybe I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae-3soteric Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 This is with Destiny though and I think everyone has to be inside the GeoFilter with Destiny (maybe I'm wrong). my experience with destiny is that it only works in normal PVP (i.e control/clash) if you are the fireteam lead, and all the other parties connecting are individuals, not in a fireteam. If there is a group that joins it will only allow them if the fireteam lead is within your geofilter - the other players do not. In things like trials of Osiris where you have to be in a fireteam it will force the leader of that fireteam to be inside your GeoFilter - but they may have players in their own fireteam that are outside of the range you set.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2016 For Destiny, to start with make sure you're on the latest firmware has ping assist at 0, strict off and auto&bleeding edge cloud ticked and applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
