Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2019 300mbps is sort of around the cut off point where you may need to disable QoS to reach full speeds. This is the same as the original firmware. If you're saying that you do not use Turbo & Super Turbo mode on the original R1 to achieve your speeds then it's likely your QoS settings on DumaOS unnecessarily restricting you.

Trouble is when you're then trying to play, some of the servers will be in the wrong place on the Geo-Filter when they're actually in Aus. Which means they're getting blocked by mistake. Could you try this for now and let us know if this improves things: 1. Boot up game with Filtering Mode on and just covering Aus 2. After game has finished booting up and all those triangles have disappear from the Map, set your Ping Assist to 50ms. (Ping Assist is in your Geo-Filter Map options) 3. Play games Could you then let us know how often you successfully join a game vs times it gets blocked. Thanks Still doesn’t work... boot the game to title screen, while this is happening, the router is showing triangles outside the geo fence with the dedicated server in sydney showing dashed around it. Press X to continue through to the screen showing the last used character and other info regarding the game. I press triangle on the controller (once nothing is showing on the Dumaos map) game goes to search, match making and starting server shows the in the bottom left hand corner but then the screen goes black (this is when the splash screen showing you a tip should be) then kicks me back to the title screen. If I follow the prompts I just go around in circles... if I quit the game and reboot no luck there as I just start from the start again but now I get the error cennection timed out when I go through the process listed above... any ideas?

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted March 22, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2019 Any chance you could record your Geo-Filter Map while you get blocked from the game? A triangle should appear on your Map which is being blocked. If you then click on that triangle, you'll be able to see your ping to it (you'll need to disable Auto Ping to allow you to do this). You can use plenty of free recording software, like OBS or FF Split. Then just upload the video to something like DropBox. Don't worry if this isn't possible, but it would help us to see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUMA BOLTON Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Still unable to play Apex with the Geo-Filter enabled even with the update recent update on Apex. Is there away around this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 27, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2019 Completely zoom out of the map, do you notice anything being blocked if it prevents you from getting to the lobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If we are playing on pc should we have source engine selected and geofilter in spectate mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest so if you don't want to filter, otherwise you could change PC to console in Device Manager then re-add to the Geo-Filter and filter.

PharmDawgg Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I was wondering because when I used the Source engine it greyed out the Filtering selection. Actually it will not let me select console. It is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you need to change the device to a console in the Device Manager then re-add it to the Geo-Filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will appear in a different country e.g. China, USA etc? From what we've seen, the Geo-Filter is awesome for forcing the server region you want, but some of the Australian servers are mislocated so we need to manually relocate them back to Sydney. If you could let us know the server IDs of any you find that'd be great. These 3 are the Dedicated Servers (Bottom left) I've found in Sydney by rebooting the game constantly. I've never actually connected to one in a game though, always P2P crap where it shows my normal 30ms ping to Sydney but the Duma shows me playing all over US, UK and AS.

It sits there saying "Attempting connection (1 of 9 etc)" and then once it finally loads into the main menu it just puts me on a dedicated server in the US or UK :/ From there when I matchmake it just puts me into a P2P lobby with domains called "sau-ef8b5-or.servercontrol.com.au" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird part is that the servers I get are Aussie peers but I actually think they're dedicated servers wrongly labelled. I legit sat there for about 1hr starting the game and blocking all the dedicated servers outside of Aus. There are some that you can't block which have been whitelisted as servers needed for you to find games. I have a feeling Apex on ps4 uses dedicated servers that will create new servers as they are needed. I get three different "peer" servers in Aus that are 32ms, 33ms and 37ms give or take 1ms just with the occasional change in Id's. Even if the ID changes I know I'm on one of those three servers based on the ping. I find the 37ms server to be unstable so I'm slowly going through and blocking them haha. Take all this with a grain of salt though as I'm no expert haha. Just from my brief experience I've noticed some patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the video you posted, and you definitely connected to that 37ms server. If a server is unstable and that one is one of them, I wouldn't deal with the instability either. Lol. I do see that the servers may be misinformed on peer and dedicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the best I get is like 30ms from Adelaide to Sydney but the 37ms feels like 150ms+. Plus the 30ms servers are super stable opposed to the 37ms one. Some Aussie servers appear as peers In the US, UK and China but I just allow them because the ping is a solid 30ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
