Constant connection to US servers?

[alex.devine]

Hi All,

 

I am back with a new issue which i have been watching for the past week.

 

I am constantly connecting to US servers when i am located in the UK with GEO set for the UK only. Could this be an issue with the firmware more than the game? i see the game get the blame for most issues when in fact GEO should always locate me in the UK, i know its not 100% but 1 out of 10 games in the UK this is not a mis-located location.

 

Speeds:

 

77MB Down

17MB Up

 

Any ideas would be of great help and thank you

 

Screen shots attached of settings, cant use the built in uploader as it bugs out on mac.

You have ping assist enabled - that is the most likely explanation for getting games outside of your GeoFilter distance.

Hi crossy, so set it to 0?

Yes always at 0 if you want to stay in the filter.

Hi crossy, so set it to 0?

 

If you don't want to connect outside of GeoFilter - yes. But it is pointless to do that because the purpose of getting games close to you is because the majority of the time, this means they will have a low ping. So if it falls under the ping assist value, then it means it is just as good as a host that might be within your GeoFilter and is probably just mis-located.

I don't have very good luck with PA it always puts me in higher ping lobbies than what I have it set to. Just doesn't seem to work for me in the US on COD.
