zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Connecting to lobbys in the US 5000+ miles away. Not really happy to be honest. This needs fixing, it's Double Cryptokey weekend and I'm not playing on 120ms hosts. I'm also getting sick of the wireless dropping out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Put your ping assist to 0 and enable Strict Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the help. I'm not sure though, Ping Assist didn't seem to be having any effect because if the geo put me in a lobby with 120ms ping I don't think it was ping assist that was resulting in me being placed on the US host or the ping to the host would have been below 29ms for it to choose that host, if my understanding of ping assist is correct, i.e the geofilter will obey the radius or choose a host that matches you ping assist settings? I've been told to untick strict by Fraser. I just think something was not right with the cloud think or Activision have told Netduma the wrong servers/locations? If that is the case, is it going to be fixed? I'll try the strict mode later, but last time I had that ticked I couldn't find any dedi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADDY1993 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ping assist will connect you to a game outside your filter if you have strict mode disabled, put ping assist ton 0 and enable strict mode. You will see yellow triangles outside your filter which means your trying to connect to them but because you have strict mode ticked they are not able to.

zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 So you're saying that having strict mode disabled and setting a ping assist value is the same as turning off the geofilter all together? Surely with strict mode disabled ping assist should only connect to hosts that are equal to or below the set value, which in my case was 29ms or it is pointless? Not wanting to sound like an arse but I've had it setup like this for the past week as advised by Fraser and it hasn't been connecting to US hosts with stupidly high pings so something has either changed or gone wrong. Thanks for helping though. It's just that I'm receiving a lot of conflicting advise. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Strict mode should definitely be ON or it will connect you to other hosts outside of your filter settings to get you into games faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant find a game increase the radius and try again. Also update the cloud and make sure you have bleeding edge enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Okay, I'll give it a try but last time I had these settings I couldn't get any dedi's unless I covered Ireland which are a dreadful bunch of servers in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Cheers bud. Appreciate this. Like your youtube channel as well by the way. How do I apply the profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 In your pic that is where the Ireland dedi was showing before the cloud update. In misc settings make sure auto cloud and bleeding edge cloud are ticked and apply. I am assuming your are on Xbox one, for Europe we have the Irish dedicated server bank.

zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Both ticked and applied in misc for the cloud. Are you sure we only have Ireland on Xbox One? I've connected to a dedi in the south UK before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ireland, seems like the other Azure dedi in the Netherlands is not operational. Plays really well, you can force p2p but why would you want to as soon as your big streaks go up they back out or force a dashboard by stating a new game.

zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 I only connected to one about 9 days ago in the South unless it was the Irish one locate din the wrong place? Azure servers are Biz, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxspeccy76 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Guys, after a lot of testing I cannot get anything other than p2p with strict mode ticked and the lobbys are invariably gash. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you're not covering Ireland (on X1) then you will only get P2P. The only X1 dedis are in Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
