Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Since the last firmware update I've been mostly using ping assist while playing bops 4 but as it started playing badly I thought I would go to my previous set up which was to place my home location in northern Italy (which apparently isn't there it's in Holland ...info from Netduma on Twitter). When I tried the XR500 just carried on as if ping assist was on and placed me on a misplaced Greek server (99% sure it's UK, about 15ms ping). That was yesterday so as I was asked to start a new topic I booted up the Xbox this morning , all settings were in place already, pa set to zero, I placed my home over the Spanish server to try something new. I do read this forum so I have tried removing Xbox from devices, start game after making any changes etc. and the cloud has been well and truly flushed , I have also done a factory reset of XR500. This normally wouldn't be a problem as pa works well but the game played better for me when I was getting a 40ms ping from my phantom server, advice I got from this forum a while back, so I just want to be able to force a server again. I'm not a moaner or a hater, I'm just after some help. The first screenshot is of gameplay the second was when the game was loading and shows the "Greek" server.

Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I tried again, rebooted both routers, removed Xbox from list, set up XR500, started up the game and added console back, this what I got...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tried another factory reset to no avail. I would expect not to get a game if the geo filter was working and the Spanish server wasn't available, not be re routed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've gone through all my settings and the only thing different from bog standard is that I've given my Xbox a static address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ping assist off, geo filter in the ocean so I shouldn't get a game surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 31, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks fro all the info - that last image is with you in the ocean and you're getting a game? That obviously shouldn't happen. But I can see at the top you have a couple of devices in Spectating Mode. Are you using either of these devices to play? If so, could you set them to Filtering Mode as that might explain the problem. Also, it's vital you restart the game after making any changes. The game does a crucial network test at bootup so if you make adjustments you need to restart the game. Let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroomfondel1965 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've just sussed it out, it's taken me all day....a while back on the forum someone suggested, for bops 4, that he got a good connection if he changed XR500 ip address to that of his ISP router, which I did too, anything to make a difference right?......so when I did a factory reset I previously backed up settings, which I promptly reinstalled . I just remembered it ,reset it back to standard , the XR500 rebooted and now the geo filter is working again, I can force servers in other parts of Europe again. Perhaps we should be more careful what we back up!......I normally keep the settings to the basics ,as you guys know your gear, the one time I didn't and I lost a whole day........sorry to have bothered you, Happy New Year.........Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always put all settings back in manually, I know its a pain but you have a clean sheet then so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
