giftedsoldier Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So far it's been clear that Blacks Ops 4 Dedicated Servers and the R1 with DumaOS simply don't work well together. I live in western pa and by far my best experience playing BO4 has been when I am on P2P. Sadly for me, this will be year 2 of this as WW2 played the EXACT SAME WAY. I really appreciate what the team at NetDuma has done. Without my R1 I probably would have quit COD. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't tell others what I have experienced. When I Geo Filter to my area I end up getting a P2P game after a few minutes and the countless lobby is not joinable messages. When I finally get into a game it's a decent connection, low lag and I can at least end the game with a 1.5/2 KD. THEN I get put on a Dedicated Server in Chicago or Ny/NJ. Anyone that has played COD and you don't live near NY/NJ you know the connection completely sucks. While on Dedicated Server the duma ping looks great (I've ranged from 16ms to 30 ms the past few days) but the connection actually is HORRIBLE. Hit Marker after hit marker, can't finish a kill and everyone else is looking like TheMarkofJ. If it was only BO4 playing this way I would just say so but this was the same behavior last year. My advice to anyone not living near a dedicated server.....as soon as you see a dedicated server, back out the lobby and only play P2P. This seems to be the only way to enjoy Black Ops 4 with the R1.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 1, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's also plausible the P2P is a server just misclassified as a peer rather than a dedicated server. Also thats the beauty of the Geo-Filter, find other servers that play better for you and force those instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt-Greco Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 As far as I can remember, previous CODs would never allow p2p a month or so afrer launch. Fingers crossed the current status in which you can easily force p2p will remain unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt-Greco Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @Netduma Fraser I've also noticed that launching the game with the Geofilter on, covering a dedi-free area, it won't let you connect to the game servers at all. (1.03.6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted November 2, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2018 Thanks for sharing this Greco. So have you just been playing P2P since? Either way, I am happy the Geo-Filter is getting you the lobbies you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cherry pick their uploads. Check their live streams instead. Disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logic behind forcing servers has never changed - all you're doing is limiting your connection to one server or a group of servers. It'll work unless the game itself prevents you from doing it, and only a few games prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dont work 80% of the time on Destiny 2, UC4, Killzone, Gears of war 4, Infinite Warfare , Adavanced Warfare, Last of us... also on Black ops 4 the DumaOS and geo-filter is pretty pointless at the monent as I have a better experience using my phones wifi. The lag comp on BOPS 4 has a massive ms delay as unless you have a poor connection you suffer big time in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping a cloud update and Ping Assist will alleviate the situation quite a bit. Keep an eye out for them further down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
