Falcon Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Let me say first that for the last 2 weeks its been working fine, no issues whatsoever. geo circle its like 1200km+ so no size issue, or any changes as they rarely need to be made, na warzone servers they are always in the geo zone. But the past 2-3 days its been acting up on Warzone, like the ping just climbs and climbs and then it just never finds a game. It often will find the server and then drop us out, and then back into a lobby, over and over and then eventually getting a game but its just so SLOW now. but the worst one it will just start at 80 ping, then look for 156 ping and just never find a game and stay at that ping(the worst issue). even if i move the zone around a bit it doesnt matter. The ping is usally 50-70 once in game so its perfectly fine, but its the lobby/joining issue thats really wack. Why is it doing this now? like i said no changes on my end. is there an update for the router i missed or something new on dumaos? its just incredibly odd. it was perfect even at 750km lol so i just dont get it, i made it bigger to help to 1200 but it doesnt matter sometimes, it will do above.
pollutionblues Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 What happens if you disable the geofilter then search for a game? Could you post a screenshot of your full geofilter page please?
Falcon Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 one is a solo que, the other is a random 4 man rebirth. my actual squad isnt on as its 4am but if you need i can get a ss from that too tmr. its cut from top of ss but filtering is off.
Netduma Liam Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 OK, so you're getting reasonably good games with Geo-filter off? Are you playing on console or PC? If PC, could you try this: Delete the profile from Geo-filter Go to Device Manager and click on the PC you're playing on Set the device type to 'Playstation' Go back and re-add the device to Geo-filter, make sure you select 'Choose manually' when prompted Fully close and re-open the game and try searching again

During the time of day your playing, the servers in your geo-filter may be offline so it throws in a server on the East coast which is outside of your geo-filter. So it'll just boot you out and re-queue. Similar things have been happening to me but on playstation crossplay off matchmaking. This isn't on Netduma's end though, the game is just busted after updates.

I will try this and post the results.
Falcon Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 Nothing changed, just permanently stuck on this screen now. Its not even attempting to find a game lobby to connect to anymore......... at least 2 days ago it was trying and found games.... heres a screenshot.... been sitting here for 5 minutes now as a test... after 2-3 minutes it "found" a lobby that needed 148 more players..... then right back to this screen. Its like its literally refusing to connect to any game servers! tons of servers under the 1200km bubble, like tons if i use ping heatmap. it makes no sense......its unusable right now...
Falcon Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 Update: Made the geo-filter the size of the US. Like 2500km. It found a game after about 60 seconds. But Whats the point yknow?
Falcon Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 Yeah like look at this...... is the ping heatmap lying? How can ALL the servers be offline in the midwest? 1200km bubble..... when its been working flawlessly with a 750km bubble.... someone look and see, theres tons of warzone servers out there online!! its 6pm EST on a friday, like lol, these servers have to be online. the ping literally NEVER changes from 175 and stick there forever, unless i change the bubble to include every server in the US, which totally defeats the purpose of this tool.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 9, 2021 Administrators Posted April 9, 2021 If you disable Filtering Mode, where does the game put you? Do you notice anything being blocked when searching? - I'd recommend you zoom out completely in case it is mislocated
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 Where did it put me? idk how to tell. i guess im the 1 white guy near the lake, lol. i can post a pic of me during que, and a pic of me in that game. first one on left is in the lobby que for a solo BR, the right pic is im in the in-game lobby ALL of this is with the filtering OFF. nothing seems blocked? nothing changes on the geo map screen while we try to que. what do you mean by mislocated? the rest of the map is blank like the next pic ill show is the map when filtering mode is off, when im in a que for a solo BR and its just queing without filter.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 10, 2021 Administrators Posted April 10, 2021 Yes that will be the host of the game? Was it a good game? If so it's just outside your radius so expand it a bit to include it. There is nothing blocked in the screenshots as Filtering is off, when it is on and you don't get a game that would be when to look to see if there is something blocked which is preventing the game
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 When filtering is on it doesnt show anything blocked. im a bit confused though, how does the radius effect me if filtering is off? even when filtering was on and functioning, i used to use a 750km radius for 2+ weeks and my location on the map near the lake was nowhere near the radius? it was way smaller and more midwest, no where near my location on the map when i que with filtering i see the exact same picture as the non-filtering screenshots above, except i dont get in the game. i dunno what i can do to fix this. yes the non filtered game seemed perfectly fine, as the filtering wasnt on
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 10, 2021 Administrators Posted April 10, 2021 I was saying that if the server is decent and you can connect to it with Filtering off then in theory you should be able to connect with it on if you expand the radius more. Is that the only server you ever connect to with filtering off? When you boot up the game initially do you see all the servers appearing on the map?
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 before i answer, as something weird just happened, umm i just got a successful que with filtering ON in my normal 1200km radius. it was fast and worked fine, i left before it started but id assume its perfect. just tested another one in a random duo with filter on, worked perfectly. i took 2 ss, left one is me 100% in-game in a filtered solo BR and the 2nd one just sitting in lobby not in que at all, both filtering on. hmm, so whats the difference? i did nothing except go to sleep since it was failing yesterday... im still not even in the zone? also why is there 2 player on the map when both ss are from a solo que? im already so new at this and its so confusing why its working perfect now. im happy but also sad, because i dunno what to do if it goes out again
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 yes i do see all the servers pop up with filter on, but it doesnt appear long only when game is booting up and never again, they are all blocked outside the radius. and im unsure if im connecting always to that server, i honestly have no idea if thats my regular one. But if i was to guess, id say its that one above Texas. heres a pic of filtering on, it appears for like 30 secs
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 also it looks like its connecting now to an east server, so even tho the radius is big, im not actually connecting to a midwest server. theres definitely one in there, but its like its not recognizing it? why does that server symbol look different from that eastern one im playing on? Did a test, shunk it to 900km and removed that eastern server. it could not/never found the midwest server and just stayed forever at 81 ping in que. Increased it back to 1200km and did the above test and its connecting to that eastern server. BUT then how did I que to that solo BR midwest server( it looks like that in the screenshot no?) above when it was connected to 1200km and included the eastern server?! ahahah im SO LOST. is the requirement having multiple options to connect to? but whats the point of that? not enough players in the midwest server perhaps? this is like a puzzle, its very interesting though.
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 I just tried a random quads BR with filter. it worked fine and put me in a midwest server, i could tell by the 60ish ping. also it showed up as the host being the midwest server. so now that i know the issue i think, can you explain if you feel like it or know, why it does that? why does it require the eastern server to be in the radius to open up or unlock so to speak, the midwest 60ping server? i just tested 5 games of random Quad and Trio BR and 5 successfully opened and i got 2 midwest and 3 east servers, apparently the two within the radius. but if you just do midwest it will give you 0 games, no matter how long you wait. is it simply down to player population or something else isnt that funny lol
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 10, 2021 Administrators Posted April 10, 2021 Well done for figuring it out. So it looks like that Eastern server that is appearing as a player is actually an authentication server, it should already be whitelisted but doesn't appear to be for you. Add that to your allow list and then it should make it easier for you to get games from then on.
Falcon Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 Thanks i will do that. glad that its solved
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 10, 2021 Administrators Posted April 10, 2021 When you do that, if you could get the ID of the server and then put it in this form as a server that needs to be whitelisted it will get sent to us so we can add it to the whitelist ourselves - that would be really helpful. https://forum.netduma.com/topic/29742-found-mislocated-servers-let-us-know-here/

MariusZHP4 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I’m experiencing the same thing, it only started happening when season 3 dropped. I can’t get a single match unless I turn off filtering (I’m on PS5) I’ve read that there was a change in sbmm that is affecting routers & vpn’s. Will there be any updates to or fixes coming for this ?
