Geo Filter Location Appears to be Incorrect


Hunnets

Recommended Posts

I am on PS4 and couldn't find a dedicated or peer server with a ping below 200ms in Australia with Upnp on.

When port forwarding all ports for PS4 I was able to now connect however strangely DumaOS shows the server on the other side of the world. 

Something doesn't seem right here from my location in Sydney.

I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what I am referring to.

Also, I regularly play with a mate from Sydney and DumaOS is showing his location in South Australia. Note, I haven't tried any other game apart from Black Ops 4 so the issues may be isolated to the game?

The reason its set to spectating mode is because it was not connecting to servers with Ping <200ms unless i did this. If you look to the bottom right of the screenshot you can see the ping is 11ms ! connected on the other side of the globe. Something isn't right here

@Bozo mislocated servers are common.  You definitely keyed in on the primary indicator that the server was not showing up in the correct location by detailing the ping to the server of 11ms.  If you send Fraser the server ID info, they will be able to get it to show in the correct location.

As Major said, could you post any server ID you find in this thread as we will run a Cloud update to correctly relocate any servers we have mislocated:

I recommend you put filtering back on and reboot your console. Watch the map as you load the game. It should block all distant servers and just allow local servers in. These should, 95%+ of the time, be a low ping. If you get any that are not, please post them in that thread too.

The only explanation is they are mislocated in our Geo-Filter. Unless Treyarch can somehow make packers travel faster than the speed of light!

So I have done some more testing and have found the following:

1) Dedicated servers appear to be correctly Geo-Filtered. When I connect to dedicated servers their locations correlate with the Ping I am getting (No issues with dedicated servers).

2) Every single Peer Hosted server I have connected to in Black Ops 4 is not correctly Located on the Geo-Filter. I have been able to compile a list below of the servers:
