xBuTcHeRx Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I've been having issues where I am filtering outside of my bubble. The problem is it still tries to connect me to a server from Texas, I live in California, it will connect me and back out to main menu. But what I'm trying ot figure out is, I know I have Dedicated servers in California, but they won't really try to connect to one unless I try over and over to search a game until I ping to one in CA, is there another method so I don't have to do this every time? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Hi, welcome to the forum! Gears of War 4 is an interesting one, I haven't tested it myself but I'll do my best. First off have you flushed your cloud lately? To do that, follow the steps below: Go to your Geo-Filter Open the Geo-Filter Map Options (click the three horizontal lines in the top left of the panel) Click 'Flush Cloud' Wait about 30 seconds - 45 second for the Flush to complete. Don't worry if you see a message that says '"Error: The operation is taking longer than expected. Please briefly wait before using this R-App" - this is just a default popup that appears when something is taking a while to complete on DumaOS. Just clear the message and wait another 30 seconds for the new Cloud to complete its installation in the background Once complete, make sure you're happy with your other Geo-Filter settings e.g. home location, radius, Ping Assist on the R1 etc. Now restart the game Now play some games. The vast majority, if not all, servers will now be correctly located which should mean you consistently get dedicated servers again. Now of course, you're still relying on the server infrastructure of GOW4. I've seen plenty of people with bad things to say about their servers - it's possible your California server is full most of the time. What's your ping to the Texas servers as opposed to the Cali servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBuTcHeRx Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 The ping from the Texas server pings at 60ms. Yeah I've tried everything, trying to figure out how to consistently connect to my home server, but rarely I do, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2018 Unfortunately I think this is how the game is designed, probably in part because the player pool is quite low compared to other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
