Mikerosa Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi there I’ve been having hard time finding games on blackout dedicated servers on the east coast, strict mode , auto ping etc, flushed cloud , I’m set up in a DMZ off my main modem is there any settings caused between the modem n router that I should look at that’s possible causing me problems??? I don’t understand how it was working correctly then stopped, it’s been hit or miss so much it’s actually frustrating considering the money I spent on it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! If the PC version is anything to go by then the game population may not be as big as it once was, especially with MW. How wide do you have your radius set? We usually recommend at least 1000km. Have you tried any other servers around the middle of the country to see if you get games faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikerosa Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I’m within the parameters, it’s only been recently it’s started, it’s ps4, I’ve tried and I find games, just the ping is insane...... sometimes when I reboot I get a game right away on the easy coast servers then when try another match it’s searching forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2020 So it could be that your ping is so high that it's preventing you from getting a game, potentially a local congestion issue. What is the average ping you're getting and are you measuring it through the Geo-Filter or in the game? Are you using QoS and if so what settings are you using there?

Mikerosa Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 On east coast servers within search area I get 50-60 ms, outside it varies, I’ve tried lot qos settings, and finally turned it off, and found games quicker if that makes any sense, there is only two of us in my household bandwidth isn’t a issue.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2020 Bandwidth can still be an issue even if there are two of you, it depends what speeds you have, what are they? If you're on the east coast that is fairly high if that is measured through the Geo-Filter. Have you done any port forwarding or any other changes on the XR?

Mikerosa Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I’m located on the most eastern point of North America when I’m talking east coast, yes I have port forwarding for open NAT, I disabled upnp also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurvivorOf Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 UPNP needs to be enabled. It also helps turning ping assist off and just set it to Call Of Duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikerosa Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I have the router in DMZ ports forwarded, my understanding is it should be turned off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Try using Ping Assist, just in case a nearby server is currently mislocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
