Players outside geo filter are in the game lobby

Hi,

 

Noticed this happening today.

 

I play 3 games of Advance warfare and everything is working properly.

 

Next game new people join the lobby and I noticed on the geo filter that players outside filter are in the lobby.

 

I don't change settings.

 

Settings are:

 

PA - enabled

Strict mode - ticked

Distance - 500 mi. East coast

Ping Assist - 30ms.

 

I then did a reboot within settings/misc. and seems to be working again.

 

Not sure why this happens.

It's important to remember the geofilter does not filter a whole lobby, only the host.

 

As long as the host is within the geofilter then the game can fill the rest of the players from anywhere.

Hi Jason,

 

Crossy & Buds are correct that should answer your question.

 

Only in games like Destiny are all players filtered.

As you have ping assist enabled, could they be connecting that way? The symbol for a ping assist connection is shown here. Is that the same as the ones that have been shown up outside of your GeoFilter? :)

Hi,

 

The symbol was :

Small circle

These are potential other players/hosts that you may connect to within your Geo-filter.

 

There were 2 of these in Switzerland. I pinged both of them and they pinged 80mms-100ms. I have Pa set to 30ms.

 

So when this happens we put them in the DENY list and they should not be able to join?

Thanks for posting Jason.

 

Your settings look correct. Sometimes it gets in a funny state, can you click disable wait for it to do it then click enable. Does that fix it?

I think it just got itself in a weird state. If it happens often let me know and I'll snoop further.
