sadasdadasddad Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hey, so I'm trying to set-up my geo filter, and it's not working whatsoever. I'm located east coast, (trying to force west coast lobbies.) Steps i've tried: 1. Deleting the device (I'm on PC), from geo filter, flushing the cloud and readding it, didn't work. Still puts me outside of my selected strict area. 2. Same as step one, but re-adding it as a ps4 in the device manager. Still puts me outside of my selected region. (I've changed my dns servers and mtu, but i don't think that would effect anything above) I've attached a picture onto the thread. The first picture is when i'm in a game. It connected me to the biggest triangle that's middle/east even though it's outside of my radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftCookie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 This might be a stupid question but why are you trying to connect to a West Coast server when you're on the East Coast? Surely you'd be trying to force an East Coast server instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Did you quit the game/game client when you did those troubleshooting steps? If not you will need to do that to make sure it works. What game are you playing?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2020 Do you have the Geo-Filter settings active and Filtering prior to loading up the game or once you've loaded the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to opening the game waiting atleast 3 minutes after doing settings, restarting my pc even and nothing has worked edit: maybe it's something on call of duty's end? I'm not able to connect to my east coast teamspeak server because it's outside of my radius , so i have to allow it, but i still get put on call of duty servers outside of my radius edit2: another picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2020 When you boot up the game initially does it show you all the servers that are available? Have you got any servers in your deny list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to mention I had to allow the authentication server to even get on the game, that pops up at the same time as all of the other servers. No servers are in my deny list.. because it takes forever to ban every east coast server (a new one pops up at the server farm every time i ban one and queue again) edit: doesn't work in multiplayer either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2020 Does it show any allowed within your radius when you see them on boot up? If not then that is probably why it's not filtering correctly. Also the server you allowed may allow you to connect to other servers. What was the ID of the server you allowed? You should get to the point when it tries to connect that there is only one that gets blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfntarget Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The only server near that location is a stat/authentication server. I live just outside Vancouver and the closest warzone servers are in california as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm pretty sure that top left dedi is usually a data centre that everyone connects through for CoD. You don't actually play on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2020 You added the correct server so that is good. What XR router are you using exactly and what firmware are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2020 Reinstall the firmware using TFTP then do a reset and see if that helps. That will make it the freshest install possible: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfntarget Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 @underoath Do you have IPv6 enabled? I noticed that QoS wasn't working on my setup with native IPv6, maybe that is affecting GeoLocation as well? Just a thought, also what I stated before, connections for matches only occur near california. Did you try moving the Home location closer to those servers?

Th3AngryGerman Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 What was the fix? I live near Seattle and have been having the same problem. When I boot up the game on my PS4 this is what I see, then they drop off and I am only able to connect to the peer in the bottom picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfntarget Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 @underoath Are you able to connect to those servers in your radius...? Because I only seem to connect to servers outside that zone, nothing close to me like Seattle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
