RL317 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've mentioned this a couple of times when it came up in other threads, but I'm seriously lost here. I recently bought a second Netduma to replace one that unfortunately died at the end of last summer. Of course that was on v1.03.6h too. Regardless of whether I wanted to use the radius only, ping assist only, a combination of the two or if I wanted to camp a faraway server, it worked. Now in IW I can do neither of these things. I'm trying to avoid the awful UK server which gives me 7ms latency but no hit reg or consistency whatsoever, so instead set my radius around the German, Dutch and French servers. Three times as much potential to find games right? Of course ping assist is at 0, strict mode is ticked. I can barely find games, and if I do I'm kicked a second after joining a pre-lobby with no explanation and, as far as I can tell, no reason whatsoever. I've been sat in the core TDM playlist for 20 minutes and haven't played a game. If I reintroduce the UK server back into my radius, or knock ping assist up to 10ms, I connect to the UK server. When I have all four servers in my radius, I can connect to France, Netherlands or Germany just fine, but not often enough because it's always UK AIDS every time. Also, I can not use ping assist alone at all. It just doesn't find games. If I threw my home in the ocean and put ping assist up to 10ms, or 30ms, or 50ms in BO3, I found games instantly. I've tried turning it up to 50ms in IW and find NOTHING. I'm connecting to all servers when I load up the game, with the filter disabled temporarily, and red dots are showing up when I search for a game, yet I can't get into and stay in a lobby. Is there some kind of workaround for this? There was nothing wrong with either of these methods just 6 months ago with my first Netduma ._. Also, has anyone in Europe found a server that plays decently most of the time? Like I said above I get a flatline 7ms to the UK and it's miserable: delayed hitmarkers, wonky aim assist, everyone sponges and melts like a Terminator even if they barely average a kill every three lives on a good day. It is genuinely me behind the action. I haven't been able to test other servers for the above reasons, so I'm getting pretty tilted with this game.

Alex49H Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I believe its the game and less players playing it. I play early morning and today I could not connect to a game. The Geo Filter showed people in the circle but they would quickly disappear. I have my circle around the Dallas Texas Dedi Server too. I switched to MWR and no problem, connected right away. So it has to be the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Doesn't make sense though. Why can I connect to those servers if I turn my filter off or add the UK back into my radius? If I exclude it, I get kicked from EVERY game. No exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am happy to do a 1 on 1 with you. Just did one with someone and got the servers you wanted. Post in the 1 on 1 section: http://forum.netduma.com/forum/66-request-1-on-1/and I will have a look. Please note I need around a days notice.

RL317 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Fraser, thanks for the reply but we might have to wait a while to achieve that I'm afraid. I've been having a lot of trouble booting up my laptop lately; it seems to get past the login screen just fine but then just goes black and refuses to load up anything past that :/ I guess I just wanted to check I was doing everything right. I went back to Dillinger's server camping guide but can't see where I went wrong if at all! The servers show up as you'd expect when connecting to online services (and of course they're not padlocked when I load up without the filter enabled); I just can't play games or stay in those lobbies. If I add the UK server back into my filter or push the ping assist value up to 10ms+ it keeps me on that 9 times out of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Takes ages to get a game of IW for me too. I just put it down to the low player count. I go on Black Ops 3 using geo filter over europe and find nothing at all. I put it over Ireland, finds a match instantly. I don't think its anything to do with the filter, just the games. Also, the UK servers for both BOps3 and IW are trash. I get a good ping to UK servers but always lag like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yeah that's why I'm trying to avoid it. Anyone I know who gets good connections in the UK lives in Wales, Scotland or up north, with latency around 15ms at least. I don't know of anyone who can ping a server in 6.5ms and complain about real, visibly and audibly obvious lag. The hitmarker delays and wonky aim assist are disgusting, and I am the one who feels behind the action most of the time! With a monitor too! I could try widening the filter and moving it southeast, adding Italy/Spain as well as Denmark or Poland, but it seems like it'd be tough covering France and Netherlands without running over the UK too. I'm just so sick of having to go to these lengths for normal gameplay when my connection and proximity to a server is probably better than 99% of CoD players SMH.

bbursley Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Does anyone know which is better camping a further away server or something that's much closer? I have yet to find a consistency in matches. Some I feel like god in and I'm melting everyone easily and then there's ones where I'm clearly shooting first but I'm getting lag compensated enormously. I get nothing but hitmarkers even though my aim was beautiful but this guy melts me and clearly only because of his sim assist pulling onto me and showing he saw me first, which I'm sure is bullshit to be honest. I'm just wondering what tactics you guys used like avoiding dedis or looking for farther hosts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I finally had some success avoiding my local server, but the first game on (French server, 24ms) was AIDS. One potato on the other team had a suppressed KBAR and kept melting me in a frame at range while I was on target first every time with an NV4, and died before I even got 4 shots out. That's impossible lol. Next game was on the Dutch server at 14ms... SO MUCH BETTER THAN NORMAL. So I thought I'd shrink my filter (originally covering France/NL/Germany/Italy servers) to let just the Dutch and German servers in and now I'm getting booted from lobbies again. Yay. Anyway I won't be able to provide a definitive yes or no to your question until I'm actually allowed to reliably test other servers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to be superfast reactions to even have a slight chance. Shame i have dashed many games in frustration in this game. Tried everything but haven't found an answer myself. Its just the games netcoding...its poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My matches are hit and miss sometimes too and theres always one muppet I can't seem to kill. But I have a jittery Virgin line so this is probably the best I'm gonna get anyways. Gotta take the rough with the smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta take the rough with the smooth. Yeah that's why I'm getting p*ssed off. 7ms to my local and it plays like a 2 bar. I'm either getting delayed/no hit reg or I'm a "deer in headlights", which isn't the case at all. Anyone I know having success with the game has higher latency to their respective server and it looks perfect SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I am having no issues playing IW apart from the normal out of sync ping comp lobby now and again like all cod titles. They have ramped up the SBMM so the games are sweaty on xbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love being a 1.7k/d on a team full of 0.4k/d who do nothing but camp so I have little choice of doing the same. Makes me wish I didn't prestige at all... I've noticed alot of YT'ers haven't and I'm assuming that so they get matched against more n00bs so they can look even better in their videos.
