multiple large circles?


Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

playing AW on PS4 while in party chat.

There are multiple large circles flashing during the game.

 

Is this a known thing?

Are they the biggest circle? Or just changing size. If its just changing size that's normal.

I may be wrong but I suspect they're small when no one is talking and big when someone is.

correct... I also assumed something to do with party chat....

i'll try to switch in and out of party chat and see what that does..

I've been having something weird happen the past few days when I play AW.  I am only getting continually pulsing circles, the sizes of every circles change rapidly on the geofilter, which makes it impossible to see who is host.  Also often time are only 2-3 circles on the geofilter even if I'm in a full game.

 

Just some notes, I'm not in a party, and this doesn't seem to happen when I play other games.

 

Any idea what's happening?

Thanks for taking the video, what version are you on? If .6 do you have strict mode on?

Hi Iain,  I'm on .6 and strict mode is off.  Also my geofilter is covering almost all of the U.S.A.

Ok that is most likely because you're on a dedicated servers. So the pulsing dots just show people talking.  Strict mode will get you better games in most instances, don't forget to snap :) In the next version I'll show dedicated server circles

That's actually what I thought was happening.  I guess when you are on dedi it doesn't show other people in the lobby unless they are speaking in a party?  Also will we be able to see the ping to the dedi?

Yes you will in .7, it will look just like any other circle. Sorry about that I incorrectly assumed people would not want to see it.

Great, thanks Iain.  One other question, what happens if we block the dedis?  My ping is actually at its worst when I connect to them.

No you shouldn't be able to do that. But you should enable strict mode you'll experience much better gameplay! If you finding it hard to get a game use the new snap button next to the home button. That will find optimum search distances for you :)

I will enable strict mode, haven't played around with that yet.

Just played the night on strict, and it was a smooth experience for me, no lobby booting either.

Happens to me too.

 

All of the circles sometimes just change randomly, sometimes their all big sometimes their not.

 

No psn chat it happens aswell.

 

Its like the game is trying to choose a host but hasnt.

I had the same thing happen.  Here is the reason...
