stimpy Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 So I've been using my router for a while now and finally got fed up with the long ques. I wanted to find out if there is any option I need to change in settings or on the geofilter to help me out. Basically I live on the West Coast and geofilter out of state I don't want to be playing on West Coast Servers... So anywhere in the Mid West, Mid East, or South East Coast is fine but when I geofilter those areas I usually get really long ques to get into a game or it just doesn't find me a lobby at all while playing Warzone. Is there something I can change on the router settings to help the game widen the search and make it easier to find me a game outside of my local area faster? Also sometimes certain servers I know are active in Texas just don't even ping when the game loads why is that I have fully selected Texas to be able to connect and the game bypasses that completely and will go all the way to Florida looking for a game.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Could you provide a screenshot of the Geo-Filter page showing how you have it set up please? When you're searching for a long time is there anything that appears blocked in the same location consistently? If so please provide the ID of it so I can take a look.

I constantly have servers that are in California that pop up as blocked my guess the game is trying to force me in them but that's the whole point of this isn't it not wanting to get into servers you deem undesirable. I don't want to completely block servers in CA when not using the Geofilter just when I am I don't understand why it constantly goes into a loop of trying to connect there and doesn't expand my search out of state.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2021 Try this please: Quit Warzone/Blizzard completely - including from the System tray Remove device from the Geo-Filter Go to the Device Manager and give the PC a PlayStation device type Resync the cloud Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter and select the manual option Set up your radius how you like - keep Ping Assist on 0 Wait 2 minutes Boot up the game If you continue to see the CA server appear please ping it and provide the ID - it may be that it needs to be whitelisted.

Ok so first the router is showing my pc as an offline device I just reset it it is still showing offline. Second when you say resync the cloud do you mean flush cloud on the geo filter?

Yes flush cloud, it's been renamed to resync in later versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes flush cloud, it's been renamed to resync in later versions Ok Gotcha I've resynced but I still can't seem to connect at all atm. This is what pops up when I load my game: https://gyazo.com/05d6f84f4dc63b4a08148a17feb7e021 This is the server it tries to ping and connect to that was working for me in the past: https://gyazo.com/ce68b23e53fb0a3d9c4fb9ad134e7560https://gyazo.com/240e9b3d83e830a7a66e95773ad1640b But for some reason now it just doesn't connect fails and then in game it just starts searching for 200 ping lobbies I am not shadow banned I connect almost instantly with the geofilter turned off. EDIT: This Server in Cali keeps on trying to connect even tho its out of my geo filter: https://gyazo.com/f2f09590e25b22ef3131f8de2bdb1eedhttps://gyazo.com/eb6cfadf9247483ec15df5c31381a75a EDIT 2: Yea I was trying to use the geofilter and it would just take forever then connect to some local California server it didn't connect to any lobbies in any of my selected radius.

Netduma Liam Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Could you try manually allowing that CA server? It may be that it's an authentication server that needs to be allowed. Once you've done this, search again and see if you get a game quicker and if it's still on one of the servers in your polygon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried it doesn't do anything it just waits and waits and connects to some cali server or just doesn't connect at all and go to 200 ping search that I cancel because that usually means it can't find a game and it gave up as far as my experience goes with this.

Could you please disable filtering mode and search for a game, then watch the Geo-filter map and see which server you get connected to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be working for me at the moment but I wanted it to be more limited unfortunately I don't think that works for me anymore I will test it for the day and respond if I run into any issues. https://gyazo.com/93b3a171558bd6d5afae0a2fb6a5e729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it looks like when I am trying to connect to a game and find one: https://gyazo.com/ebc2627eaa7b73a4ae7d2aa6206292b2 it always tries to connect to some Server in California sometimes it works but recently its been really bad and not letting me connect it just keeps going up in ping and tries to connect to the same Cali servers and just joins then disconnects and researches.

That wasn't in game that was trying to find a lobby I had to allow the other server and then deny it to get my friend to be able to join not the California one btw. The servers in California that are popping up as blocked sometimes just let me in and it just goes to Cali server no difference in game. But I don't want to be in those lobbies...

When you're trying to force a server far away always put Ping Assist to 0, try this: Quit the game and game client completely - including from the System tray Remove device from the Geo-Filter Resync the cloud Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter and select the manual option Set up your radius to cover a further away server - keep Ping Assist on 0 Wait 2 minutes Boot up the game See if you're able to force a server that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you check the IP address shown in Device manager for your PC and compare it against what you see in Windows, are they the same? 3 hours ago, Antagonize said: Stimpy im having the same issue, i heard the warzone has blocked the XR1000 somehow That's not the case, DumaOS should still work absolutely fine with Warzone.

Check the IP on the PC itself, then check all the online devices on the Device Manager, does the IP match any of them? If so then the device you thought was the PC isn't.

All devices showing online are wifi my PC is I'm pretty sure the same device that is listed but it shows offline I did some research apparently I am not the only one with this issue of Devices showing offline. EDIT: Reset router showed as online Re Added the device flushed the cloud did all the steps you listed before I will let you know if I'm still having issues.
