Getting kicked out of main lobby and pushed back the Multiplayer start screen

[Netduma Fraser]

I'm not in charge of it anymore, we likely won't make updates on when we'll be doing things as its always subject to change. I've been told that we expect to get one out next week

[TODDzillaInLA]

dont know what changed but all night the party chat keeps disconnecting and it wont let me join back unless i re allow everyone on my allowed list in the geo filter thats in the party im trying to connect to. here is a screen shot when it happened. been doing it all night at least a hand full of times so far

[Netduma Fraser]

Had your allowed list cleared over night? If not it may be that their IP changed. It looks like you've blocked a server, the southernmost one, that could be the issue

I have never denied or blocked anything and no the list never clears. I go to the bottom right where the allowed list is find the names of the people I’m trying to play with. Ping them then hit allow again. Have to do it every time I turn on the Xbox and a couple times during the session 

[Netduma Fraser]

You're certain it's the same IDs? You've named them and everything so you can see its the same?

[TODDzillaInLA]

100% sure

[Netduma Fraser]

The screenshot doesn't help me confirm that unfortunately. So when you ping it again from the map it appears in the ping panel with a name you've already given it?

[TODDzillaInLA]

something definitely wrong with the game or the firmware. all day today has been crap. no many how many time i restart refresh or anything else i try. if i move my home pin any where else its pretty much unplayable. 

yes when i ping them the same info pops up along with there name that's already in my allowed list

here is a screen shot for the last game i just played. i woudl be 4 to 5 hitmarkers in and then i instantly get melted 

 

 

[TODDzillaInLA]

i can not flush the cloud with out getting this message also

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay thanks, will need to look into that then. Whats the ping to the server? 

Yes we're aware of that also but generally no need to flush unless recommended

[TODDzillaInLA]

How do I know what server I’m connected too?

The server you're connected to is always the largest one on the map. Should hopefully be obvious, but if it isn't just enable 'auto ping'. This will display the ping panel for the host of the game automatically, and give you extra stats like server tick rates  

[TODDzillaInLA]

ill try this tonight but it looks like all the icons are the same, circle with a face, triangle, square block

[Netduma Fraser]

Usually is the dedicated server icon or the biggest peer icon

[TODDzillaInLA]

maybe post a pic of the ledger with the different icons and what they are for?

[Netduma Fraser]

They're here apart from ping assisted which is a dashed circle http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000087576-what-do-the-symbols-on-the-geofilter-map-mean-

[TODDzillaInLA]

yeah that needs to be updated or the firmware needs to be updated to match cause everyone on minenow is white. and maybe it might help to put a picture of the icon next to the definition unless i'm not looking in the correct place 

[Netduma Fraser]

What do you mean everyone is white? All the icons on the Geo-Filter are supposed to be white, colours haven't been added. Yeah they're there, might be hard to see as they're white

[TODDzillaInLA]

yeah lol

this exactly what i mean

[TODDzillaInLA]

so came home turn on xbox went to bo4 and it was moderate. dashboarded bo4 then went to the netduma geo filter page turned auto ping back on then rebooted the router. opened bo4 back up and now its open nat again. but now there is a bigger problem. no one can connect to me. and i cant click on my friends to ping them so i can re hit the allow button. so i turned auto ping off added everyone restarted the game turned auto ping on but how do you know whats getting pinged?

[TODDzillaInLA]

also check out this. my friend gee money actually live next to me but it shows him on the east coast and heres pics of the geo filter in game

[Rabb]

I'm more concerned about Americans connecting onto our servers, it might be a good game for you but your teleporting on my screen

Yes they are aware geo-location are misplaced on the map. This goes for both peers and dedicated servers. This is one of the main reasons for all of the connection issues to BO4. Still waiting on the update Netduma said would be out soon. They said that over a month ago. Lol

[Netduma Jack]

Yeh Todd it looks like your friend is mislocated. We're working on a cloud update to remedy some issues like this, but as long as he's added to your Allow list it won't affect your gameplay!

It's not one of the main reasons, that much we know. This is being thoroughly tested - there's a bunch of discrepancies with BO4 online. Updating our cloud might help, but then again it might not make a big difference. If you're on the Netduma R1 then Ping Assist will work wonders - and if you're on a Nighthawk keep your eyes peeled for that update

It is one of the main reasons as I get the best connections from Dallas dedis, but netduma is reporting them in new jersey. If I leave my geo-filter over Dallas I rarely get into games and when I do it is really high ping. If I put my geo-filter over New Jersey I have a better connection experience. Mislocated dedis are a big issue.

 

What is even worse is you guys gave enormous praise for PA v2, yet it didn't make any positive difference whatsoever.

I get pings of 23-25ms when I can actually connect to a Dallas dedis. If I set PA to 30 and throw the Geo filter in the ocean, I never get into games ever. What a joke.
