hey guys any reason why geo filter isnt working for fifa 20? i have srict mode on and ping filter disabled but yet m getting matched to an opponent from the middle east with over 100ms ping?

So this screenshot is with Ping Assist off? If so, this is a bug in the software, as you should never see a Ping Assisted peer when it's off.

hello alex thank you for a reply yes ping assist is off, and scrict mode on, weird thing is on fifa when i checked the opponent after the game it sayed he was from the uk but clealry accoring to the netduma that was incorrect, it wasnt a mislocted peer/server as it had over 100ms ping and as you can imagine the game was laggy, maybe geo filter software needs looking at?

also could anyone help me understand this BQM graph?

Well your ping looks largely consistent but there's a couple of big packet loss spikes around 5pm and 10am, maybe you were doing a download or something at that point?

So you had a server outside of the UK which was high ping, but the person appeared to be from the UK on the console?

I'm trying to figure out where the inconsistency is here, is it because the ping was too high for somebody from the UK?

I'd say the ping is pretty standard. Certainly not anything awful. My only concern would be if milliseconds were being added inside your house instead of on the way to the server.

yeah i was just playing seasons not ultimate team on fifa 20 and after you have a game you can check the opponents record and it also states where the location is by showing a flag of which country their based and this opponent was from the uk, but according to the geo filter it was diffrent as you can see, do you think maybe the game forced me onto a server/peer in that location? but if thats the case then the geo filter isnt doing its job correclty!

Where did the guy appear on the map? It wasn't off the coast of Africa was it?

yeah it seems to be near saudi arabia/iraq! why ask?

[Netduma Alex]

Ah I see. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a user that we can't place on the map, sometimes they appear in the centre of the map. On this occasion I think that's not what's happening.

So yes I think that the Ping Assist isn't turning off correctly. My recommendation would be to turn Ping Assist off, and then install this firmware version: https://kb.netgear.com/000060127/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-32

Once that's installed, you can upgrade back to the current one. I imagine that will stop Ping Assist from misbehaving.

I am having this same problem but with NHL '20. I assume they use similar setups. I play mostly EASHL, I'll be the host and will get connected far outside my perimeter. Strict is on and ping assist at 0. I also play some HUT with the same results.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

Would you mind making a new topic regarding this as they're both different games. In that topic could you include a screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter showing when this happens please? Most likely we'll need to test the game and see if it is compatible with the Geo-Filter.
