jtm52401 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 i think a good option for ping assist would be where you could customize the filter to 40-80 ping for example, or 30-90, 20-100, etc. please do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 9, 2021 We could potentially do that but Ping Assist is a feature to assist the feature rather than to just use it specifically, perhaps in the future we can try that! Out of interest, why would you want to exclude lower pings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, why would you want to exclude lower pings? I'm quite frankly tired or getting matched up with the same people every day. It's like every day i get matched up with the SAME pro players or other really good sweats. There's like no variety in the lobbies and i just want a change on different servers and i feel like a custom ping assist range would be the easiest solution for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtm52401 Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 ok but i live in the middle of the ohio, chicago, and virginia servers so i have multiple "home" servers on the same ping... so if i only box in one of them it'll still try to force me on the other ones as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2021 You should be able to reduce the distance small enough to cover just the one state or use Polygon mode (if you're on the beta) to draw around individual servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2021 Did you set up the Polygons when you were already on the game? If so that's why - the game pings every server on bootup so it knows you can connect to them. Quit the game completely, wait 2 minutes then boot up and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit the game completely, wait 2 minutes then boot up and try again Yeah I always exit the game and wait for when I change my settings. Just letting you know though that the polygon mode and and even the regular circle mode is basically irrelevant in today's age of SBMM due to activision changing the way it works. Me and all of my boys noticed that after this update went out, normal geo filtering with the circle and polygon basically doesn't work at all anymore. I'm not trying to be disrespectful to y'all either since it's obvisouly activision that doesn't want these types of things to be used, but i'm just trying to help by bringing up ways to get around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2021 Do this and see if it works better please: Quit the game completely - including the Battlenet client and ensuring it's not in the System tray (if applicable) Remove device from the Geo-Filter On the Device Manager give your PC the PlayStation device type (if applicable) Resync/flush the cloud from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter and select the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like - you will need to have strict mode on and Ping Assist set to 0 Wait 2 minutes Boot up the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me bro after that update in april everything has been downhill and inconsistent from that point on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2021 Can you provide a full screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter page when it's getting you games outside your settings please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
