fatal0Efx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sometimes I put home location out in the middle of the ocean and set ping assist to 0 to allow me to run Destiny 2 strikes solo (don't want to be bothered by other people). This used to work fine, but this does not seem to work any longer. Netduma is still allowing me to match with people. Oddly they are showing up as ping-assist players. How is this happening with ping assist set to 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatal0Efx Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Perhaps it's just a bug that should be looked into. After restarting the R2 it seems to be working correctly again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatal0Efx Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 It works for any activity where you don't want interference from others. Strikes, NF, free roam, hell even tower (sometimes I forget to turn it off and wonder where everyone is lol. Basically you get your own server. After rebooting the R2 it started working again.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2021 Glad to hear it is working now, it may have been if it was on when you were on the game and then adjusted it that caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have ping assist enabled prior. I then turned it back to 0 but the R2 ignored that setting. I tried even disabling and re-enabling geo filter and even restarted the game, but none of that had any effect. It wasn't until the R2 itself was rebooted that it recognized the setting was changed to 0. I think it's pretty clear the R2 is having difficulty here.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2021 You would need to wait two minutes for the connections to be severed, then it should have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatal0Efx Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 With respect, I spent over 5 minutes actively troubleshooting the issue, including shutdowns and restarts of the game. All connections using ping assist were new connections each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
