Crysister Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Starting with a search <58 ms and find matches. After about 25 min it search <42 ms. Buy restarting router gets it back on <58 ms. Something is wrong here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm camping the spainish server and have noticed it sometimes says 'Searching for <42ms' and other times says 'Searching for <58ms' No idea why theres two different numbers there.

Not sure why it'd be doing that, though it shouldn't impact the performance of the Geo-Filter - with the right settings you should get a server with a lower ping than either of those figures every time.

Bert Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I have the same on the SG server. It goes back and forward between the two because your ping is just on the edge. Talking in game ping. The game measures latency every once in a while and bases this figure on that. Nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2019 It will also search based upon what servers are available, if there's nothing available within the initial range then it will widen its search.

Actually it depends on what servers is available. When you start the game, it tries to ping all the servers. If it finds only one because you use a geofilter, it will just keep looking at that. So when the first ping is say 38ms, it will stay on the 42ms window and it won't expand the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbula Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I've not been able to get the location geo filter working properly consistently on MW. In the old games you could just pick a radius and it worked perfectly. In this one though I can never find a game based on location, only ping assist. It's frustrating when you want to try and play on different dedis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the UK but I move the location around. It just keeps searching for a game and doesn't find one, eventually it creates a lobby with me as the host waiting for other people to join but nobody ever does.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2020 That's strange, does anything appear on the map in or outside the radius when this happens? If you switch to spectating mode do you get a game and does the server appear on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the original firmware so I don't have spectating mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2020 Okay interesting, double check, if it's not showing anything at all then that will be why you're not getting a game as it's probably blocking everything. If you can't see anything then flush the cloud by applying it twice in the misclleaneous settings and then hard turn off then on the console and see if it shows icons properly. Also how have you added the console to the Geo-Filter? - With what service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the radius over the whole of the UK and it couldn't find a game. Yes the Ps4 is added to the geo filter and using the playstation network service.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2020 Do you change your Geo-Filter settings when the console is already on or do you have it set prior to turning on the console? You don't see any icons at all within the radius/UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to take a look again but I don't think it shows anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first image is when the game 'connecting to online services'. This is the one with the yellow triangles. The second image is when it's search for a lobby. It didn't find one, it came up saying searching for a game <15ms then never changed. Am I doing something wrong, what should I try? I'm trying to consistently get games on dedis in the hope I will get a better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbula Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 When I expanded the radius like this, it did actually find a game so I assume my radius was too small, but it was covering the whole of the UK. How do people consistently get certain dedis when I have to cover such a large area and all dedis and peers become connectable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2020 The second image indicates the big circle is the host of your game but this wasn't the case? We do generally recommend a radius of 1000km so yes that could be why but you should be able to get the UK server. It could be changing settings via a mobile browser is not translating over properly as we haven't optimised this, could you try using a PC and see if the experience is any different? Also what cloud versions/options are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the could options, there's only the one option from what I can see. Maybe that's due to being on mobile but I think there's only the one.

I tried covering just the UK and Ireland, I didn't know if this was the one you wanted me to try. The first image with the yellow triangles was when it was 'connecting to online services'. The second one is when it was searching for a game, which it didn't find. I can increase the radius to around 1000 and it will find a game but then you're getting everyone in that area. How are people finding and connecting to certain dedis, for example the Spain one and have such a small radius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
