pteam Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Say I'm playing Call of Duty Black ops 3 and I live in Ohio and I'm playing in a party with several friends who live across the country, what will happen? What happens if they're outside my geofilter area? Should I increase the geofilter area to cover the whole USA if I'm partied up with friends? Also should I be the "host" of the party with friends and have them join me in game or does it make no difference? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Here is a wiki that details how to play with the R1 and parties. http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=adding_friends_to_your_allow_list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pteam Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks for your quick response, your awesome! I will add my friends to my allow list and follow those steps. But can you suggest a few good practices for me to follow? Such as: Should I be the "host" of the party with friends and have them join me in game or does it make no difference? I'm thinking if I'm the host the whole party will follow me as it decides on a lobby? but if I'm not the host I might get separated from the host of the party in game?

PharmDawgg Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I don't play a lot in parties so I will leave this answer for someone who does. But I believe it is best for you to be host and your whole party will benefit from your R1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 You should host and your friends should join you if you are using the geofilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pteam Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 another question, you know how ever so often you need to reset your router? Should this still be done? Also should you unplug your netduma too or will the settings erase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Occasionally peoples isp will reset peoples router with a new IP address, its called dynamic ip address. Basically you just need to re add them again, it only takes minutes. If you are struggling to get friends into your lobby it could be that their ip address has changed and you just need to turn off filter and re add them. It happens to me about once a month and doesn't take long to sort out if you know why its happened. Enjoy. I reset my router and modem once a month, turn both off, unplug wait 5 minutes. Plug router back in and wait for dsl line light then turn on R1. Don't think it makes bugger all difference but can't do any harm lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you reset your router does it reset your friends allow list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 22, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hey welcome to the forum! If you do a factory reset you will lose the allow list. If you're going to unplug the router (which you shouldn't need to do) reboot from settings > miscellaneous to make sure it's all saved. The easiest way would to be to save all your settings with a profile, then you can just upload it after a reset so you have everything how it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
