wrathoftank Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hello, I've notice that I have been connecting to several host that I have rated behind the red curtain in the allow and deny. Am I suppose to rate it all the way down to block the host? Also, does giving a host a high rating and putting in behind the green curtain influence the games matchmaking? For instance if I have a highly rated host of 90 and mediocre host of 70 available is the game going to give me the host I've rated highly? I'm guessing it doesn't do that, but i just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 What symbol appears when you connect to these hosts that youve rated? Are you sure you definitely have them blocked and the red curtain is covering them? No you do not need to rate it all the way down as long as it is low enough to be covered by the red curtain. Could you please post a screenshot of your Allow & Deny, the Host and the Geo-filter when you connect to this host. No it does not. Allowing a host ensures that you can always connect to that host, regardless if it is located outside your Geo-filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 This is where when you click on a host in the map it also being selected in the curtain area would make this a lot easier to debug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as it happens again I'll post some screen shots, I can't recreate the circumstance right now because of the lobby booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Wrathoftank I suspect you maybe see'ing the anti-cheat feature. For any filtering to occur you must disconnect from a player for over 2 mins. We do this so people can't use the geo-filter or "Allow n Deny" to boot players out of the game. So next time you put someone in the deny list. Leave them for over 2 mins till there circle/square goes off the map. Then try reconnect to them and you'll see a red X on the map. Finally the lobby booting issue is cause you're on the latest version. This version will propagate the configs soon. We are going through some stepping stones with a final destination of a much better geo-filter. I'm literally working on automating the server right now. I could manually do it, but that will slow us down in the long run. So if you can bare with us for just a couple days max you'll see a very big difference. However if its making it unplayable you can Increase the geo-filter slightly Disable the geo-filter PM me and I'll personally remote access your router and add a manual config Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just mentioning the booting so Fraser knew I couldn't replicate the issue currently. Also, you are probably correct that it is your anti cheat measure. Should they still show up as a red X though? I'm yet to see a red X on my geofilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they still show up as a red X though? I'm yet to see a red X on my geofilter. Once you have completely disconnected from the host for 2 mins and it is no longer showing on the map then the next time you attempted to connect to that same host a red X would appear. However, if you are still connected at the time of blocking it you will still see it as a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Netduma Fraser Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It appears to be a host you found with Ping Assist so id recommend disabling it and just using strict Geo-filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For first point, if you are connecting to a dedicated server outside your geo-filter could be a couple of things: - Which firmware version are you currently on? - Is strict mode ticked when searching?

However if you are not getting good hosts using PA you can turn it off and disable it by putting it to 0 like buds said. What is your PA set to currently?

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Bobby you probably have your distance way too low. Please use the snap button once probably twice to get a good distance. Setting it to 111km is way too extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
