[email protected] Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Cant get GEO FILTER to work. I can see great servers in the Heat Map with pings in the teens....but Geo Filter shows ZERO sewrvers. When Playing WARZONE it's just luck of the draw for servers. Xbox will search for games starting at a ping in the 20's but then I'll end up on a server with a 90 Latency. I'm hard wired direct from the XR1000 to my xbox, live in So Ca with a 900 downland 40 up load speed. Anyone else having the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2020 When you boot up the game initially do you see the map populate with servers all over the world at all? When searching for a game do you see anything appear either blocked/allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’m experiencing similar results. With my new R2. We’ll get to this after our current discussion. Saw this and felt I should vouch for this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This appears to be in any game I try that's on the list. I may not yet know how to use the feature, so I'll keep trying and asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2020 When adding a console use the Manual option which will add it with the games console service and it should then filter properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, don't yet understand Manual option. Working with this now and will report back. Thanks. Flushing cloud first per your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I've read the manual on geo filtering and it appears to be as simple as setting a home location. It does not address polygon mode. I've done the ping heatmap and the three areas I've defined are where the 19 - 23ms servers are located for CoD Modern Warfare. As you can see in the video, before and during the game, the geo filter map appears to be displaying very little or nothing at times if I recall. Please watch the video. The ping I"m seeing in the game is consistent with what I'd see in my old Linksys router. I'm not noticing any difference in performance. According to the manual, it should be noticeable. This further makes me suspect along with the UI performance issues I'm seeing suspect my unit is not performing as it should. As soon as the video finishes uploading to YouTube I'll edit it into this post. It's possible I'm not doing it correctly of course. Please review the video carefully once it's posted and advise. Thanks. Edit: added video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 18, 2020 Polygon mode is a new feature, that's why it isn't mentioned in the guide currently. You do have 19ms to that server which is very good, in game ping is different as it adds things like processing delay etc. If that server doesn't work well for you then force a different one instead. What is your Connection Benchmark results? Ah sorry, give your PC a PlayStation device type in the Device Manager and then when you add it you will see that option.

That does appear to be effective for the PC. The Xbox on the other hand I've not yet figured that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed with ping assist set to 28 I’m seen ping in the high 40’s at times. Typically I get low 30’s. The tech does work and my brother & I partied up Saturday night and could feel a difference in CoD on Shipment for sure. Not so much in other games of CoD that night. Overall it’s worth the price. I won 1v1 gunfights I’m confident I’d normally have lost. also, I was wrong about DNS not being pointed to my Pi-Hole. I rebuilt it and it’s working as expected. My apologies for asserting otherwise in the other thread. Technology will humble one in a hurry. Initially I was afraid I’d wasted my money. Now I see I need time to get to know it and get it dialed in. Thanks to all of you folks for bearing with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to give you an idea of how Ping Assist works and why you may sometimes see pings higher than the value. Ping Assist pings the server as soon as it can, now sometimes the ping will report lower and then go higher due to normal fluctuations. As the first ping reports as being below your value then it allows it even if it later goes above that value. It doesn't happen all the time but it is a possibility.
