Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sorry Cross i got that wrong, it's a bigger version on the nuke symbol. it start's a small nuke and then get larger That just means it is host if it is bigger. I have written this up in the Wiki btw to describe the issue and the fix. It might be good to go though it and see if anything has changed. You can find it here: http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=why_am_i_connecting_to_hosts_outside_that_are_outside_of_my_geofilter Let me know if it helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Just did a reboot of the router and a ctrl+f5 to see if that would help, still connecting to these nuke symbols outside my geo filter range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 also switched my xbox off, and left the lobbies to the main menu for anti cheat waited 2 min and still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is normal. You can change the ping assist slider do 0 to stop this if you would like to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Shaker its a ping assist found server, the server ping is below your ping assist threshold. Reduce ping assist to zero and you won't connect to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sorry bit late to the thread. Sounds like you have a ping assist host. A lot of people set PA to 0ms I think that is a mistake. Even though its shown in America its clearly in EU or UK becaues the ping is so low. By disabling ping assist you're just reducing the amount of hosts you can connect to.

MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ok i have lowered it to zero and can't get in to a game, is there something i can do for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Its because your filter is too small probably. I recommend using the snap button at least twice. So: Set your home location to your home Set the distance to 111km the minimum Then press the snap button(the one to the right of the magnifying glass and the home) You'll see your distance automatically get set. Those are the recommend settings. Well actually recommend settings also includes having PA set to 50ms but you don't want that so leave it at 0ms.

MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 yes Iain can't find a game, will there be a update so that we know the host for sure? im always connected to one in euro ID: a1ad3b064a40c2c7 but clearly you say it's bound to be a UK as the ping is lower then it would be in euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 Largest circle means it is host. What was the ping to the EU one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 it was up to 60ms which is why was trying to reduce that if possible, my ping is around 15-25ms i have had one game just that was a local host and was superb but the rest of the time it's the EU one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The update to move hosts around will probably be midweek but its automatic you won't notice it. Otherwise the largest circle is the host as Crossy said. I recommend you just set ping assist to 0ms and use the snap as mentioned above. Those will be the best hosts available to you.

Marc Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 My ping graphs also sometimes disappear, come back and disappear again all the way through a match. It doesnt keep changing to ping a different host, to explain it best i can you get what you would on youtube or something when its buffering.

Might be because it is thinking about pinging another server (because it doesn't think the one you are connected to is host anymore). Then it thinks, wait, actually, this is host and starts pinging it again. Iain might be able to shed more light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Marc please start new threads mate, its a bit confusing for us when we have separate issues in the same thread. Its probably just the autoping feature Marc, if you don't like it you can switch it off and ping it manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Shakermaker mentioned on the first page that he was experiencing the same iain. So when i commented its put my post at the very end. Didnt mean to cause confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh sorry my mistake Marc, I read a a lot of threads lol ... Ya that's just the auto ping feature it's trying to replicate what human would do but sometimes it will get confused just disable it if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
