nightstorm Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Looks like it happens whenever I leave a game early. Won't let me connect again until all the icons clear from the geo-filter screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people believe Black Ops 4 is the first CoD to mask their IP's, meaning only the server will show up on the Geo-Filter. Maybe this is a measure to protect players against DoS attacks or the likes, I'm not sure. The Geo-Filter will still work exactly the same, you just won't be able to see other players unless the situation changes. As for your error message, this one is extremely rare - we aren't seeing anyone else reporting it. It'll likely be a phenomenon related to where you're located in conjunction to the Black Ops 4 servers, but there's still things you can do to solve it. Now I wouldn't recommend adding every blocked server you see to your Allow list, but the likelihood is something (whether a background matchmaking server, NAT server or otherwise) is being blocked by the Geo-Filter and causing this error. Background servers tend to be further away since their ping doesn't affect gameplay. If you're seeing blocked dedicated servers when you get that error message, try adding them to the Allow list. I guarantee you that adding one or two of them would solve your error - it's just finding out which one to add that's the issue. We're working on a cloud update and thoroughly testing Black Ops 4, so it shouldn't be long before these issues are ironed out. I hope this helps! Well not being to see other players locations sucks, but it is good to know it is out of your hands. As far as adding the servers pinged outside of the Geo-filter range... I already added all of them long ago. No dice. So much for the guarantee. I guess the cloud update is my last hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that sounds like normal behaviour as the connection is still alive so may want to put you in it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should not be giving me an error when I queue for matchmaking in a public match of Call of Duty even if the previous game I was in is still going.

K1W1 VIC Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I’m having the same out come last game I tried it took 5 sec then straight to the main screen. Turn it off and game runs smoothly like normal but with a 70+ ping what can we do..just wait a bit or..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my R1 (with Beta DumaOS) in spectate mode and my PS4 was connected to a server in Los Angeles (according the map) and I live in London (approx 8,800KM away)!, I had >120ms ping (I have no idea why Treyarch / Activision would ever think this is acceptable) and was getting melted in BO4 by the enemies. I tried to change the settings with the game live to filter mode and I kept getting the "lobby not joinable" erroror. As suggested by Fraser & Jack, I put the PS4 into "Rest Mode" then changed the settings and the turned the PS4 on and reloaded the game and boom - immediately connected to a local server with a silky smooth 26ms ping. KD in the next game back to >2.5 and I'm back to being a happy camper 🙂 Unfortunately having previously said that a restart has fixed this problem, I booted up my PS4 today and this problem has returned. My router was already in filtering mode on settings that previously worked. However now when I try to join a game DumaOS flashes up with a server outside of my filtered range and then BO4 fails to allow me to join the lobby and I get the error. Screenshots attached. I will now try to reboot my PS4 and turn the Duma to spectate mode and back whilst the PS4 is switched off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachpeanut61 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Before i even turn my ps4 on i will enable the geofilter and about 1/2 of the time i get "the lobby is not joinable" error after i start searching for a game. After a few times of getting that message it wont happen again but its still bothersome because when my friends are in my lobby they all get that message and get kicked out of my party.

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted October 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think what could be happening here is this: You have your range just cover one server region You boot up the game The game pings all the servers the one server you could connect to is either mislocated, or the game just doesn't ping it The game assumes you cannot join any servers If I'm correct, then here are three things we can do: For now, try rebooting your game and look at your Geo-Filter Map when you do it. If you see the server in your range appear, then you should be good to go We will get a Cloud update our for the location database as soon as we can Ping Assist on DumaOS is getting amazing results. It is in closed beta at the moment. When we get it out, you can use this as your primary method of finding the best servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are property marked as servers, while other are not. The game still frequently tries to put me on servers (or servers marked as peers) outside my range.

Sci0n Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The game is beyond a joke now. it never connects to a deadicated server in the UK ever... also the XR500 does nothing to deal with the lag or poor hit detection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats usual behaviour, it should just block them until it puts you on one within your radius or it might back you out and you can search again. 14 hours ago, Sci0n said: The game is beyond a joke now. it never connects to a deadicated server in the UK ever... also the XR500 does nothing to deal with the lag or poor hit detection Theres definitely a server in the UK. The peer you connected to is actually a UK server, just mislocated. If you can put the ID here: that'll help us with the cloud to move it and name it correctly.

skschatzman Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 6 hours ago, Netduma Fraser said: I just figured out that all Dallas TX servers are being reported somewhere around New York. With the Geo-filter centered on Dallas I kept getting pings outside of my Geo-filter range and 90%+ of them were in the New York range. The servers I was getting connected to while doing this were 60+ms. I know they are being reported wrong because when I center the Geo-filter over New York with a 300 mile range, I am connecting to servers in the 25-30ms range. I know these are Dallas servers as all previous COD games only Dallas servers will give me that low of a ping. I live in Omaha Nebraska and use Cox for my ISP. A friend that works at Cox told me that the traffic gets routed through their data center in Dallas. Please fix this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me the error in the title of this thread. So, Search for game Server outside of range is queued and rejected "Error - the lobby is not joinable", BO4 boots me back to main menu Go back into multiplayer Rinse and repeat steps 1 through 4 about 10 times Finally might get a server inside range. I've had to just turn the Geo-Filter off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2018 xolhid, if you could post the IDs in the Black Ops cloud topic that'd be really helpful. It shouldn't back you out that many times. When you boot up do you get servers showing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to a point where I had over 30 IDs saved in my allow list. most of them had very similar combination of numbers and letters minus a few differences. My guess is it is the same server. I already gave you the couple I had saved early on. I deleted them all after setting my Geo-filter over New York. You guys don't pay me to spend my time helping you fix your software issues. I would rather enjoy my free time playing games. I already paid over $500 for your products. That is more than enough for my investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightstorm Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 So if this is normal behavior for the geo-filter, why was this not a thing in any previous cod game? I can and always could get into WW2 lobbies without ever seeing this message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say this with certainty, but it looks like they do a server check as you're booting up to see which servers you can connect to. They then use this information to choose the server(s) you connect to when you search for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
