procreate Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 so i was playing some MW3 tonight and the host was horrible at one point, putting up 140ms ping in the ping graph... i rated it as 0 to put on the deny list but it kept being the host with bad game after bad game [even rubberbanding present], i am betting they were on wifi connection. shouldnt the settings of strict with 50ms prevent me from them being host? edited: oops, originally i said was playing ghosts, and i was but it played very nicely... it was MW3 that was having issues.

Buds Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The host might have pinged below 50ms before the game started so would of been considered acceptable. It's not a continual evaluation, rather a yes / no checksum at outset. Also remember after you rate them and disconnect, you need to be idle to 2 mins fo the anti cheat to do its thing so you won't reconnect to same host.

procreate Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 it was more like 10 minutes so it should have kicked in i would guess. i dont think they ever went below 100ms... there were also 2 others on teh peer ping graph above 100ms [who has these ping numbers?!!!?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 If you were disconnected from host for 10 minutes and then rejoined that lobby then perhaps a different user was host? Only a guess though As for other users having high ping, could be connecting from anywhere in world. Matchmaking could select anyone from the player pool to connect so wouldn't be the worst I've seen. Remember the router only filters the host, the rest of the players are the games choice (scary thought!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 3, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted June 3, 2015 The reasons for connecting outside of the GeoFilter are here. I might be wrong, but I don't think rating it 0 puts it on the deny list, I think it has to be at least 1%. Also was there an update button?

Zennon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yes as i read your post buds answered my thoughs. The game does not look at pings on the fly this is where there is a problem with online gaming. He might well of been under 50ms when the game checked the lobby for the best host then after the match started his brother started downloading the lastest camcorded movie that he just cant wait to see = gaming hell.

procreate Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 the person was persistently 100+ms in the graph. the 10 minutes was rated it after a game, played another game... next game still host, played that... next game still host still bad played that... quit lobby. does it not recheck after a game? or do i need to leave the lobby? what do you mean by idle? maybe should drop that wait time to less than a minute [lobby intermission time]? anyway, game was persistent on having this crappy host last night and was really pissing on the lobby.

Also was there an update button? the host was in my geofilter... otherwise i wouldn't get into a game at all. player counts on MW3 and Ghosts have been @ 10k lately any anything less than the whole US isnt getting games. just says no games found indefinitely. is that true about the deny list? i need to make them 1?

I'll check the 1% thing when I get home but I'm pretty sure it has to be 1% or more I don't play MW3 but on Ghosts I usually set Geo to about 1800km.

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Pro, Make sure its the same host, by checking the ID. Also the host has to disappear as a circle/square fully. Everytime it sends a packet the 2 min counter restarts. So make sure you fully disconnect from the host.

Yep you need to leave lobby and be disconnected for 2 mins for the rating to take effect. I'd also rate above 0 but within your red 'curtain' if that makes sense.
