hungry110 Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 So I have filtering mode on and my location set to the middle of the ocean. People are still able to connect to my party chat, even though I have no one allowed. Ping assist is set to zero. I have hard reset Xbox, flushed cloud and rebooted router. Should people be able to connect to party chat in this setup? Or is it not functioning correctly? Thanks.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 30, 2019 Administrators Posted July 30, 2019 Could you provide a screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter page when this happens please? That will give us a better idea of what is happening.
hungry110 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 So, the icon comes up blocked in a triangle and Xbox party chat says connecting for a long time. Then the connection goes through on party chat and the triangle disappears from the geofilter map. Party chat functions normally from them on. I was just expanding on the issue, still have yet to screenshot.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted July 31, 2019 Administrators Posted July 31, 2019 Interesting. It must be attempting to route you through a blocked server, and then giving up and doing it another way.
hungry110 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 So, this is my geofilter page when someone joins party. They connected without issue. I have never whitelisted this player. I did not invite them to party, they just joined. Location is set to the sea, ping assist 0. Have deleted and re-added consoles. Triangle players just do not seem to be being blocked.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted July 31, 2019 Administrators Posted July 31, 2019 So the triangle player was able to join your party? That's very strange... Either the PS4 has decided that since it can't make a P2P connection, it will route you through automatically whitelisted servers... Or the Geo-Filter is giving you false information on what was blocked. If you ping those servers on screen, press ALLOW, then ping them from the list and press BLOCK, can the person still connect? This isn't a solution, just a test.
hungry110 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 This is on Xbox, I will try blocking those servers as you've suggested. I'll have to wait to get on. I have a feeling as I don't use strict mode for destiny reasons, that this may be to do with that. I think this is also related to the issue of finding games in destiny when your settings shouldn't allow you to. I will test further tonight, with strict mode on and off as well.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted July 31, 2019 Administrators Posted July 31, 2019 Oh right, well PS4 and Xbox are kind of interchangeable in this situation.

hungry110 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Posted August 1, 2019 Ok, did a bit of testing. In strict mode a player outside of my geo-filter is able to connect to party chat but I get disconnected. In strict mode with that person denied, they can still connect to party chat, again I am disconnected. Either way, players outside of radius are being allowed to connect to party chat. Any ideas? Thanks
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2019 Administrators Posted August 1, 2019 Are you talking about private chat or the actual game chat? If party chat are you the host of the chat?

hungry110 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Posted August 2, 2019 Have tested this on the XR500 it does not allow anyone into party outside of your parameters. XR300 doesn't filter these connections out.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted August 5, 2019 Administrators Posted August 5, 2019 Very strange that this would occur on the XR300 but not on the XR500. I'm going to investigate.
