Watch for that and manually allow it if you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo3391 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 they should show up as a yellow triangle with a person in it when you add them to your lobby . you must click on that icon and hit 'allow' then there shouldnt be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strict Mode keeps the dedicated servers within your radius and so is advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2022 In that case your radius is likely large enough that they fall within it, in which case you don't need to allow them but having a radius so big can allow higher ping servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2022 Thanks for that, try this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it works better.
