Having issues joining friends


Recommended Posts

Having trouble joining friends or them joining me. Almost everyone shows up as a yellow triangle. So I click on them set it to 100%, put there name in and click update. Now they show up as a cut up red circle. Still can't join. Rebooted ps4 and routers, Still can't join. My nat type is open. My internet speed is 150/150. I have verizon fios so the netduma is connected to the fios router. I have the netduma in the dmz. I have my location in the middle of the ocean with the radius set to the lowest setting and ping assist to 50. Also have the latest update.

Turn Geo filter off, wait for anti-cheat to allow the setting to take effect.

Invite them to a private match.

Rate them highly to whitelist them.

 

People frequently struggle to join each others games without Netduma too, on PS4 and on X1 and going back to legacy consoles. Sometimes Xbox Live / PSN just doesn't want to play ball and you simply have to try again later if that's the case.

Haven't tried turning geofilter off, I will though. Yes I am sure they are my friends. Weird thing is that a friend I had saved already and play with almost every time I play couldn't join. But I will try turning geofilter off and let you know if it works. Thanks for advice.

As others have already said, turn off filter then invite to a party and rate them.

Also remember that if they have an ISP that gives out dynamic IP addresses if they reboot their router etc you may have to add them again as they may have a new IP address.

If it is Black ops you are struggling with, I have had many problems with this issue. Sometimes the game simply won't let you team up, also if any of your friends have a moderate Nat it can cause issues.

Good luck.

If all your settings in the duma are correct......

 

I find if I have been playing solo and a friend comes online I can not send and invite and he can not join me.

 

I have to back right out to the burning 3 sign with the guy with the guns then restart MP 80% that works or we both have to reboot the console.

 

The joys of cod it has been like this forever and the solution has always been the same.

My clan used to get this all the time back on MW3 (none of us had a Netduma back then).

 

Everyone would have to restart their Xboxes (sometimes their routers) and then eventually we'd find someone that could host the party - although some evenings we would find that someone just couldn't get in at all (who was 'out in the cold' wasn't even always the same either).

Ditto.  XB1 and PS4, I have had very similar issues trying to party up with #DumaArmy members.  It's never a seamless experience.

We still have this recurring issue when Urge, Zen and I play BO3, we lose Urge's voice in party once per session and then he reboots and it's all good for the rest of the session. It's strange.

My friends and I have to do the same thing even if I'm not using the duma. I think its a Blk Ops3 thing. There is always someone who has to close there app at some point during the night. I don't recall any of these issue with the older Call of duties..

For me, it's an issue if I'm using the duma or not. But with the duma happens all the time. Sometimes it's a friend of a friend trying to join and he can't get in and I know its because of me since i'm the only one who is running a duma. I try to be quick and save them but most of the time it doesn't work.

If it's a friend of a friend you will have to add them, once you add them though they should be able to join just fine. Can always disable when someone is going to join, add them then reenable the Geo-filter :)

Oh yes its definitely not the duma , it has been like this since the early days of cod before the duma was a realization.
