TODDzillaInLA Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 So at first i thought it was friends not having a open nat type. Then i thought it was the geo filter and the fact i had to keep clicking on there name and re hitting the allow button so they can join. but last night the connection was so bad i went to go play solo. i had the geo filter home pin selected to the dedicated server in southern california and it just keep dropping me and pushing me back to the main menu. then i tried the dedicated server up in washington and the same thing happen, ping assist set to 30 and the call of duty profile selected. i had to end up changing the geo filter to spectator to stay in a lobby with out getting dropped I live in Los Angeles CA USA by the way since the game automatically puts you far away to try to balance ping assist maybe they have a way to prevent software like the netduma?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2018 Administrators Posted November 13, 2018 Did you see anything being blocked outside your radius/over your limit when it would kick you back to the lobby?
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 no, but i don't think the icons are showing correctly alot of squares and its showing alot of my allowed friends as dedicated
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2018 Administrators Posted November 14, 2018 Could you provide a screenshot? That doesn't sound right. Are you zoomed all the way out of the map?
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 14, 2018 Author Posted November 14, 2018 yes ill try it tonight. and on the zoom idk
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 14, 2018 Author Posted November 14, 2018 just got home started up bo4 had to reboot netduma to put it back to a open nat
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2018 Administrators Posted November 14, 2018 Those ID's are actually servers, not your friends. It's possible instead that you're connecting to your friends through the servers instead if they were taken when in a lobby with a friend.
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 14, 2018 Author Posted November 14, 2018 so those pictures were me sitting in black ops 4 main menu no friends. i noticed the icon in europe had a way lower ping then the one in the U.S. i set my home pin to the icon and europe and added to my allow list. don't know what it did but i did not get kicked out of a lobby once and it made me host. ping was 12-16 was dropping 100 plus kills a game tonight i will take a screenshot with friends in the lobby while we are in a game i dont understand this part (It's possible instead that you're connecting to your friends through the servers instead if they were taken when in a lobby with a friend.)
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2018 Administrators Posted November 14, 2018 Okay interesting, that would indicate we need to add something to the cloud. Could you get that host ID please? Nevermind, it was only relevant if that screenshot was taken if friends were in the lobby
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 so tonight when i have friends in the lobby take a screen shot of the whole map and the ip to that icon in europe?
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 just got home started up bo4 and it was in moderate nat had to restart the r1 to get it back to open again and here is the screen shot 6 in my party chat
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 15, 2018 Administrators Posted November 15, 2018 It's hard to tell as you still have all the servers present from bootup, if you could take a screenshot after that disappeared that would be really helpful. It appears they're allowed though from what I can tell but marked as peers not dedicated servers. Look mislocated as well most likely.
Detroit Lions Podcast Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Try this, its worked wonders for me:
Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted November 16, 2018 Netduma Staff Posted November 16, 2018 12 hours ago, TODDzillaInLA said: will do that one tonight How's your experience after the latest Treyarch hot-fix?
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 16, 2018 Author Posted November 16, 2018 actually went out and got drunk last night lol i will try tonight and report back
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 17, 2018 Author Posted November 17, 2018 so this is the first game we got kicked out of since the update on the 13th, current screen shot when it happen
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 17, 2018 Administrators Posted November 17, 2018 Okay well I don't see anything blocked on the Geo-Filter so it doesn't seem to be anything the Geo-Filter has done, unless maybe you saw something blocked before taking the screenshot?
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 17, 2018 Author Posted November 17, 2018 no nothing has never been blocked, but i believe things are not showing up in the correct location and not showing at all. when some friends join they wont show. i have to go into a solo party chat with just them and they pop up for a split second then disappear when others show all the time i find it odd that if i put my home pin set to where i live i get crap connections and get dropped all the time but i put my home pin on that icon in dublin and i have crazy low ping 12 - 16 and drop 100+ booms here is a screen shot from last night
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 17, 2018 Administrators Posted November 17, 2018 It might be they have an option on their router to not respond to pings which explains why it only occurs on some of your friends. Where do you live? We'll be doing a cloud update soon which will probably help with that
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 17, 2018 Administrators Posted November 17, 2018 Okay so it's mislocated, will be worth you using Ping Assist definitely
TODDzillaInLA Posted November 17, 2018 Author Posted November 17, 2018 Tried 0 tried 15, 30 seems to be the best, just weird i have to connect to a different continent to enjoy playing the game
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 17, 2018 Administrators Posted November 17, 2018 As I mentioned its mislocated on the map so it's actual location will be much closer to you so a cloud update will fix that

This means you guys misinterpret the word meaning. BO4 has been out nearly a month and a half of the 12 month life cycle with no cloud updates. Most of us are not impressed by this as we purchased your equipment so we can enjoy our gaming experience, not play a waiting game. I know I already stated this before, but it doesn't make sense why you guys don't give frequent updates instead of prolonging updates for extensive time periods. I get that you guys are "testing" them to make sure they are accurate, but we the consumers would be happier if you guys made the updates more frequent. It's better for your image if consumers can give you positive or constructive feedback for updates than it is for you to waste a lot of your time replying with the same excuses multiple times a day. I am on the latest update with ping assist v2 and still have the exact same connection issues.
