Dave Masefield Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Good evening all, Some connections that i set to my deny list still manage to sneak through. How come this is? Slipman is an opponent that I fight on SFV but his connection is horrendous so I deny him but he still pops up. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 Is it the exact same one that you get connected to? - Is the ID the same and does it have the same name or is it just in the same location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Masefield Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Same ID Could it be that they have had a change of IP address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 Is it exactly the same or slightly different? Yes that would be a reason, the IDs would be different though. If it doesn't appear with the name of what you've blocked it as before then it will be different.

Dave Masefield Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 It's exactly the same ID. It comes up with the name slipman when I start the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 Could you please provide a full Geo-Filter screenshot of when you're getting one of these blocked servers, include the ping window also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Masefield Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Here is a prime example. This guy is denyed but i am still put up against him. It doesn't happen often but when it does, it's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2019 Doesn't appear like they've been blocked at all, you have definitely blocked this before now? I.e. you didn't block when put up against them and expect to be kicked immediately? Have you got the Geo-Filter in Filtering Mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Masefield Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Iook in my deny list. it's there. I am in filtering mode yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2019 I can see it but that doesn't indicate how long it's been blocked for, reason I ask is because if you block something it won't be blocked until that connection is severed e.g. 2 mins after the game has finished. Could you please do the following: Hard turn off console Remove device for the Geo-Filter Flush the cloud - wait until a minute after the too long message appears and refresh the page Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Start up console and game Then see if it blocks properly.

Dave Masefield Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 he has been blocked for months. Maybe that's something you should add to the details. I will try what you ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is happening again but with differnt people now. Does it forget that it has deny parameters after a certain period of time or something because it seems to be allowing players who have been denied after a few months.

No parameters on that, if it's after a few months then this seems more like their IP has changed - or is their ID and name the same on the Ping Panel?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2019 Here's what I suggest: Flush the cloud (if you get the 'too long' message wait a minute after it appears and then refresh the page). Do this while the console is completely off then try again. If that doesn't work then delete all your entries in Allow and Deny. I realise that is frustrating but if they're not working anyway then there is no reason to keep them. Then block as and when you come across those players you want to block. Once blocked, ensure that the connection to that player is completely severed. The easiest way to do that is once you leave the game wait 2 minutes or until the map is completely clear just to be sure. The reason I suggested #2, as much of a pain as it is, is because there was an instance where old denied entries carried over from an old version (not necessarily a firmware version) didn't work on the new version and caused other rules not to work. So by starting fresh it may make the feature work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
