Does the r1 work for battlefield games?

Battlefield 4 is officially supported on Xbox 360 so that defiantly works.

 

I think the newer one does to some extent.

 

Obviously if you are selecting the server you can't use the GeoFilter as you said. I'm not sure if there is any matchmaking in the game  but I assume if there is that the GeoFilter would work for it :)

It works kinda like if you use the quick match option than set your geo filter. I had good games tonight had my ping assist to 20 got into a server with avrage 15ms ping it was around 400km aeay from me

Why would it not be supported on PS4?

 

It might work on PS4 but it isn't officially supported I don't believe (at lease it isn't on the buyers guide) for PS4). It might still work though - just means it hasn't been tested :)

Bf4 uses dedicated servers ,the R1 with geo on will let you see we're the server is based and that's it, like above if you use quick match then and have your geo set you should not join a server outside of it,the best way to see a general ping of a server is to use battlelog on your laptop and join it via that.Bf4 has so many out of region players in the servers as you probs already know,but having congestion on will help your connection to the server.

tried it on PS4 a while ago and it works

since its dedi only all you see are the dedi servers

 

you only benefit from the geo-filter when playing matchmaking, the server browser already lets you filter between the different regions, eg EU

in EU theres only one EA server in Amsterdam i think, so using the geo-filter doesnt make much sense when searching a game from the server browser

Does any one have any setting they use when playing? I'm in the east coast but most of the time I play with people on the west coast servers. I currently have geo filter off but wondering if anyone has home location set and what settings they may be using.

i wouldnt do any changes or use the geo-filter with BF4, its much better to just use the server browser with your prefered region ticked

 

the reason is that BF4 does switch players to a different server after a map is loaded incase the majority of people comes from a certain region

example:

 

first game: 60% EU, 30% US, 10% AUS players

game will be running on an EA EU server

during the game a lot of EU players stop playing and new US players come in, so before the game stops we have the following:

40% EU, 50% US, 10% AUS players

during the next game transition the people will be transfered to a US server to guarantee a good ping for everyone

 

now if you play with geo-filter on a certain server for a long time then it can happen that the server "jumps" out of your filter after a game and you lose connection

if you use matchmaking though then id use it as you have no influence by the game as to where you want to play

I understand to turn off geo filter... the problem I need to play on west coast servers (With my clan) and I'm on the east coast and i'm getting hosed. When I play on east coast it works very well. Not sure if anyone else has any in-site to help.
