R1 not conecting to selected server on Cold War

Im currently on version 2.1.3.29 on my R1. I have a weird issue, every time i select the server i want, the R1 just connect me to any other random server even with Strict mode on and set ping assist (Cold War PC Blizzard). Is any solution for this issue? The server that is on the red circle is the desired server (actually is the server that works better for me) for lately it connects me to the Miami server. Any help would be appreciated.

That Miami server is showing up as a ping assist server, in order to achieve what you want you'll need to set ping assist to 0 :) 

So, in order to connect always to the desired server i have to set the Ping Assist always 0?

I selected the Wichita server with 0 Ping Assist and i can't find any match. Actually , i can't find any match in whatever server i choose. image.thumb.png.303d35eb7de57cbe8b9283b2a886ebe6.png

If you are looking to select specific servers you'll need ping assist set to zero, yes. In this case, if the Wichita server is busy or not currently active, you won't get a game at all. I'd suggest widening your search radius more to accommodate more servers.

Not sure if that specific server wasn not active at the moment because when i select an specific server for example Wichita, it connects me to any other server for example Miami, then the funny thing is when i select Miami, connects me to Wichita and sometimes New York. Is like the Geo Filter is not working properly?

Wider radius, 0 Ping Assist and no games.

Try this please:

  1. Quit the game/client completely - including from the System Tray
  2. Remove device from Geo-Filter
  3. Flush cloud from Geo-Filter Map menu
  4. Re-add the device
  5. Setup the Geo-Filter how you would like
  6. Wait 2 minutes
  7. Boot up the client/game

Then see if it works properly.

Thanks for the help. Everything good till step 3. Everytime i flush Cloud it says "The operation is taking longer than expected. Please briefly wait before using this R-App."

That's fine, just refresh the page after one minute and it will have applied.

Managed to did all those steps and found games but still, Geo Filter is not connecting me to the desired server. Im chosing the Wichita server but it sends me to Miami and New York most of the times. Also, im kinda lost here about the Geo Filter Legend. Sometimes i see a white little square, sometimes a big square, sometimes a few squares with a white circle, also i see sometimes i see white person icons. What icon is exactly the server im trying to connect? Am i doing something wrong?

The issue in that screenshot at least is that it's set to Spectating Mode rather than Filtering Mode so it's just connecting you to wherever the game wants

I select the Spectating Mode just to take a screenshot of the legends i was lost by. But now i know what those icons mean. I did all your steps properly and i still can't find games into the desired server. The second screen Is like the Duma is trying to connect to other server everytime. image.thumb.png.e49c4e0ead3769bb5e76010def8b2ed9.pngimage.thumb.png.d5ea0113421081ccf041181dab8df8c4.png

One server definitely (the first), potentially another (the last) are authentication servers which makes sense why it tries to connect to them. If you notice those two again add them to the allow list and see if it adheres to the radius more.

All three are allowed.

The middle one is a game server so I wouldn't suggest allowing that one.

Well, Miami is the server that gives me less ping but most of the time im on that server, even with less ping, the matches are terrible and lately Wichita server is kinda fine to me even with more ping.

To be honest, im a little lost here. What should i do properly?

And, if i choose for example the Miami server, then i allow New York, Texas and any other server that would be the same as having Geo Filter off or Spectating mode? I mean, it wouldnt connect only to Miami as desired. Whats the point of allowing those far servers?
