Was able to play overseas but now no with filtermode on

[Victor FranKo]

Just got the xr500 So few days ago was able to connect to Austraila,Peru,Africa etc servers with filter mode on.now i can only play if filter mode is switched off(think its in spec mode then)

i am using COD CW pc version.i was enjoying playing with other countries.did i just get lucky or is this a issue with cod?i tried flush cloud,still no go.i didnt try to power cycle the router yet if that helps.looking for any guidance on this if anyone has had this also,thanks.

Note im on

 

XR500 V2.3.2.108

if i update to latest then theres no heat map on that firmware

it does show in denmark,vienna area that has a icon of Allowed Server but wont connect.

not sure if its my setup or just normal

Geo-filter is designed to favour local servers that provide good connections, so trying to force it to connect to a very distant server is against what it wants to do so there's no guarantee this will work. You'd get the best in-game experience setting your search radius/polygon locally, so you can always have a good connection in game.
