Guest Deng Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Check the ping assist setting - should be zero for not allowing local play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably seeing that icon in Europe because it's an authentication server, this is whitelisted by us to ensure you can get into a game, but it won't affect your gameplay and you'll be able to find another server within your radius as long as it's not too far away.

Blakeplayer Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 ok I solved it now locate me where I say but why with 60 of ping does not find me the matches? on the map the server I am trying to connect to appears inside the circle but the search for the match remains blocked without giving any results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set the search radius over Italy, do you then get a match much quicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakeplayer Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 yes if I set it on Italy yes but if I set it on the Russian server, for example, the ping map tells me that the ping should be 60. the game looks for games with ping 60 but can't find them. This is very strange. it seems like the game doesn't want me to find matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be hard to force servers and I haven't seen anyone really play on a Russian server so it may not always be active, try forcing a different one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakeplayer Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 i can't play on any server except those within ping 40 i tried south africa even if with very high ping, i tried in america with 130ping i tried israel with 80 ping and others and no server the game can connect. I also put a very large circle but I can't connect to any other server other than those where the game automatically connects me without using netduma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2021 What is the reason for trying to force games with such a high ping? The router is designed to get you the lowest ping servers PharmDawgg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakeplayer Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I want to be able to find lobbies as easy as streamers. I know there is a way why a high level player can't find so many easy lobbies. there is a way and I have to go by trial and error. so ... why can't it find me games if I try to connect to other servers?

Searching for games a lot further away from you will result in longer search times and you'll get a higher ping, that's why it doesn't always work. The router purpose is to get you the best connection games possible, not to try and get around playing against skilled players PharmDawgg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakeplayer Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 yes, but with a vpn, for example, I find the games easily even if with a high ping ... with the geo filter, however, it does not find them even if I wait a long time. streamers are not a legend ... there is a way to find easy lobbies even the router is not designed for that. you will not tell me how to do it but the way I find it by trying but this is not your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know of a way specifically to get around that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
