local_celebrity Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Getting this error message whether Geo Filter strict mode is turned on or off. PS4 Pro, Zen ISP. Not sure if relevant, but for some reason, there's a server which keeps lighting up in Poland - which never happens in Modern Warfare. Not sure if this is a misattributed server?

Mobel Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 That server is the Demonware mm server it is popping up for the last 4-5 months. local_celebrity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disable Filtering mode, do you still see it? As above it's for authentication and so required for an online connection to the game - it won't affect your game ping.

That's my (admittedly not v scientific) impression from testing it out for a couple of hours tonight. Will see how things pan out during the week.

It could be due to the launch rush, there are usually issues early on. local_celebrity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm looking forward to the cloud update since I'm dealing with the same issue. I'm really confused though about how some low ping servers are located far away from my location when I ping them using the Ping headmap. Are those servers mislocated and with this cloud update are they gonna be place in the correct location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a server that is far aware from you but it has a low ping then in reality it will be much closer to you. Until then you could use the Geo-Filter to force the server where it appears on the map and get a low ping. Rambo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobypreza Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 If I turn geo off it will connect to any of the sever around Europe but if I use geo for just the UK and it tries to connect to a sever outside the geo the game search times out with the error message I think it does this because cold war thinks there is an error with my connection because it can't connect to the severs th r2 is blocking Nalsano_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2020 Have you set the Geo-Filter up before booting the game/console? Because if you do that then it tells the game what it is capable of connecting to before you even search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes yes but most of the time restarting the game seems to work. Although I googled the error and it seems a lot of people are getting the same issue so I'm starting to think it's a game issue not the R2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No without geo filter I get no issues. The odd part is even when I don’t host the party but I have filtering mode on (covering the whole of U.K. and bit of France) we get the same error. The fix requires me to turn off filtering and we get into a lobby straight away. This was something I hadn’t experienced with the R1 where you get issues even when you’re not hosting the party. I then tried to use the polygon setting to see if that would help but again the same error. I’ve attached an image to show my settings which I thought weren’t too strict but idk.

One thing that is confusing I see people saying they get the error when trying to join friends but I play solo and still get the error when finding a match.
