Lewisprotips Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm currently using a nighthawk xr500 with the 3.0 OS installed. I want to play on the lebanon/Saudi server but when I geo filter that area it doesn't put in my a game and just tries to connect to the Poland server. Any one have a step by step. I'm playing on PC wirelessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2021 The Polish server is required for online play so you will always have a connection to this and can't block it. It won't have an affect on your game ping. Where abouts are you located? Can you provide a screenshot of your Geo-Filter settings please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisprotips Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm from the UK. I've had loads of different settings. And tried loads of different geo filter settings. I'm currently out so can't provide a screenshot. I've used the drawing geo filter to filter around Saudi but it just doesn't connect but I can see it blocking player in France etc. If I then do an extra drawing around them locations it works but still doesn't get Saudi.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2021 I don't think there is actually a server there unfortunately, it's not designed to get around SBMM by forcing servers that far away. Try further into EU if you want to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisprotips Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I've heard people say they are playing on the lebanon server and when I've checked its available and there is a player icon there on Saudi and server icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2021 That server may be offline when you're trying to force it. Can you provide a screenshot of your whole Geo-Filter page please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisprotips Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 So last night I joined the South africa server but was 200 ping. I want to geo filter around the area I've chosen but it doesn't seem to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewisprotips Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 so i want to only connect to the spanish and italian servers how ever it keeps blocking player locations in france and germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke ‘Absolute’ Holmes Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Just a heads up, some games actually turn servers off in remote locations, no point having it on wasting money if the player base is small and only hindered even more during certain hours e.g. 3-5am their time. Also you have polygon markers around other locations when you only want Spain and Germany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some reason it never finds a game if I don't have a certain amount of player icons in the gro filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 19, 2021 Your settings are correct there but as they're not close servers it may take more time to search before it will allow the connection, it should also be easier to force them during peak times in those respective locations.

I'm struggling to get constant Spain and Italy. Sometimes I get the player icon showing and it puts me in a game without any server icon being highlighted.

The player icon will actually be a server just misclassified as a peer. DumaOS Classified Games should be prioritizing your game already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisprotips Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've currently had to accept and allow one of my friends all the others don't require it. However the player allowed icon is always on when he's in with us in the UK. Will this mean I'm getting UK players as well or just my friend.

You can't limit who joins the game as it is server based and not P2P, so you may have UK players and you just can't see them but if you're in the US for example then it is unlikely you will have UK players in your game.
