Jayco93 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 So way before I used to geo filter a lot for destiny. Now you guys did a fix. Can you walk me through with how to flush the cloud, and get the bungie servers to filter appropriately so I have decent matches again. You mentioned something about accepting a server. Please give me step by step with how to do this. @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2021 No need to flush the cloud, the cloud update would already have been uploaded to the router. It's just how you normally filter, put your location/radius over a server/region you want to connect to, strict mode on in the Geo-Filter Map menu, Ping Assist 0 and then search. If you do notice that you get kicked just before the game have a look on the Geo-Filter and there will be something blocked. Ping this (if needed can turn Auto Ping off in the menu) then name it and click allow on the ping panel and you should be able to get a game after that - it could take a few times allowing these servers. If you do come across servers you need to allow please let us know the IDs and we'll add them to our allow list. Jayco93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying some servers are blocked initially for everyone? What does strict do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may still be some servers that we need to manually whitelist so you don't have to manually allow these in Geo-filter. If you do find servers that you need to do this with, let us know and we can amend that in a cloud update. If you disable strict mode, dedicated servers will no longer be filtered but peers will. As Destiny works via server-based matchmaking now, you will want to leave strict mode enabled. Jayco93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the icon for these in the legend on Geo-filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned about getting kicked before getting into the game can you go into details about because I tried turning off the auto ping and still get kicked off as soon I’m loading into a match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 22, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2023 Disabling Auto Ping is so you can manually ping the blocked icon on the map that should appear when getting kicked so you can then allow it which should then allow you into the game when you try again - it may take a few tries to allow the servers responsible for the kick.

Hunts Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Fraser is there a way you guys could make a firmware update that gives the option to automatically allow any pinged servers/peers within the radius of the geo-filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would allow any servers within the radius, the game will pick whichever one it wants to if there are multiple covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
