Guilders Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Happy New Year guys best of 2019 to you all. Anyway a New Year but sadly same old shite. Time to give up and move back to my wrt1900ac!! So the first post about allow/deny was April 2018 as I wasn't sure it was working, after months of putting up with getting put back into servers/players that had been denied I put up another query in October 2018. Again November 2018 And again today Jan 2019!! Almost 9 months and after having just moved home I have managed to get my new desk and gaming setup sorted, to find I go on for a game and it puts me straight into a denied server, I know this as I tag the really bad ones 'Fucking Shite' in capitals so I don't miss it, due to previous experience of this not working. So I decide to play it as new home, new line etc, but nope it lived up to its tag!! So when is this going to actually get sorted, I am planning on putting the xr500 back into its box tomorrow or day after (box is in the loft) and was wondering wether to put it in the loft, if its gonna be a long term wait, or in the small storage cupboard I have beside my setup if a fix is due out shortly. Shame really after how well the original R1 fared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 16, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think someone else discovered that it does now work but any ones that were previously allowed/denied wouldn't have the fix take affect so would advise making sure you're on the latest version then removing all the entries and add them again when you encounter them and should take effect from then on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'll do that, hopefully it will work. Cheers Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'll chase the team on this thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nope defo not working, full factory reset and still putting into games which have been denied. Noticed as well that sometimes it would not auto ping host, just say there is no host to ping, so I unticked that feature just to ping that host/server in that game it was also from the denied list, don't know if its tied with the issue.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks for the feedback, I have escalated it to the team for them to look at. If it detected it was a host it should have, may have got into a weird state. If you toggle it disable/enable does it ping then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah, as soon as I've pinged it manually to check I always put back to auto ping and it picks up the host again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2019 Okay good to know, likely just couldn't detect it at the time for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thought I'd plug the xr500 back in again......what a disaster!!! Knew the allow deny wasn't working when I factory reset again tonight, which I don't think reseting regularly can be a good thing, to start all over with a fresh slate and still when I hit deny nothing happened, at least with the R1 it would kick you out of the game, so you knew for def it was working. Putting me back into denied games, will this ever work? Is there a possible update on when it would be workable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 26, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2019 Possible ping assist is overwriting your denied setting. If you don't use ping assist and have your radius over the server does it get blocked as expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I tried this last night, Put ring over France, as when I do get a decent server its there, put ping assist down to 0, and tbh I thought it was working but low and behold up it came again, a nicely tagged dedicated server, that had been denied, buy end of session keeping same settings a denied connection came up a few times. On the R1 it was good as you knew for definite it was working, you got kicked out of the lobby, I wish the DumaOS would do that, but it doesn't! Surely ping assist shouldn't be able to override the deny list? The Allow/Deny should have overriding say on wether a connection to a server/peer should be allowed. Thats how I thought it worked. Anyway either or it didn't matter as it didn't work, as it still put me into a denied connection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 27, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2019 No it shouldn't I was just checking to see if it was a possible cause. I believe the team already know about this but I'll raise it with them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Could it be!!!! Seems like the Allow/Deny is now working, but if you have any servers/peers on your list, it will still put you to them but if you hit Deny again it now puts a line through the icon and you get kicked from the game. Only just seen this tonight after going on after a week away working, so hopefully its not just a placebo effect from something else, noticed though it doesn't seem to affect peers!!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2019 That's great to hear, thanks for coming back with an update and workaround! So it doesn't show blocked peer icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yeah blocked peers seem to still get through, though tad early to really say, will do some testing. Dedicated actually kicks out and like pics say puts a slash through icon, so delighted will let you know if peers is still playing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 1, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2019 That's great news! Well peers will still connect to the server in order to connect to you so thats expected. If it was chat or a P2P game they should be blocked properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Now its back to normal!!! Wont deny anything and puts me into previous denied games again, difference now is that when I was getting the deny to work and then kicked out of games like old R1, the denied one would get the slash through it, like pics posted here on Thursday. Now it just puts a circle of dots around the icon, doesn't kick me out of game, and has tried to put me back into denied games......aaarrrggghh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilders Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have been fiddling about with it and it seems that the allow/deny works when ping assist is set to 0 If its on a normal setting like 20/30 or whatever your ping is etc its like the ping assist over-rides the allow/deny. I think its also stops it from adding a deny to the list, as every time I have denied a connection with ping assist on, it surrounds the icon with white dots but doesn't actually block the connection, whereas when the ping assist is set to 0 it blocks and kicks me out of the game. Just a little info on what I have experienced tonight, could be a placebo effect or something a bit more!! I do admit though, networking/technology is not a strong point.

progprogprog Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am finding that as long as the text says dedi and not p2p, it will disconnect you from the game when you deny it but, it's not working fully as servers I have banned i am still connected to p2p games such as Advanced warfare,blackops e.t.c are not being block at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a fault with the Deny feature, rather a phenomenon of the servers themselves. I'd have to ask the developers though, it gets super complicated :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
