Geofilter is not displaying any server in Europe FIFA

Recommended Posts

Hello I came across today now my geofencing when it connects to FIFA or a match inside the game is not displaying any server anymore. See screen.

Before at the moment I was launching the gaming it used to do a ping to all the servers and they were visible, also when I was starting a game I could see to which server I was connected to. 

 

In the other hand, when I switch ON my playstation I can see the west american coast being pinged for sony network connection.

 

Any idea what could be causing this issue in FIFA?

 

Thanks,

Juan

Could you please do the following:

  1. Remove the PS5 from Geo-filter
  2. Go to the three-line menu in the top left of the Geo-filter map and click 'Resync cloud'
  3. Wait a couple minutes then reboot the R2 from the three-dot menu in the top right.
  4. Give it a few minutes to reboot
  5. Go back to Geo-filter and re-add your device. Make sure you select 'Choose manually' when asked to pick a service.

Let us know if you're still having any issues after this.

Hello ,

Thanks for your answer, I finally managed to make them appear after few attempts of Resync cloud, not exactly the process you were specifying but similar. 

Now what happens it seems the filter is not working so well as is not taking into account any of the boundaries I am selecting. 

Some months ago when I had a polygon drawn it blocked any server outside. 

For me it looks there is some bug on geo filter, are you aware on any bug to be fixed? 

 

Thanks

The icon displayed for that server tells us that it is whitelisted. It may be whitelisted because it is in your Allow and Deny list, if that's the case please remove it and try again. If it's not in your Allow and Deny list, then it may be an authentication server required for matchmaking. These servers will not affect your game so you don't need to worry about them.

Hello, 

No sorry that was not the behaviour a couple of months ago, everytime I restricted an area the ones outside were apparing as retriscted and never never connected to one outside of the area. 

After I managed to make them appear the other day now they have disappeared again, so I am thinking some issue is happening with the geofilter that is not managing the data correctly. 

Any issue ongoing with this feature? 

 

Thanks

Could you provide an uncropped full screenshot of the Geo-Filter page when you're seeing this behavior please? 

No issues that we are aware of. That one is an authentication server, these can be added or removed during cloud updates depending on what servers the game is using at the time - they will be allowed regardless of your settings but don't affect the game server. If you haven't seen this before then it's likely a new one added in a cloud update.

Hello, 

Same pic as Zaibkhan, talking specifically for europe the ones that appear now are the ones provided by AWS, before there was also visible the ones that are hosted in I2D (talking about fifa). They were based in Spain, italy and Netherlands, and now they not appear. 

For sure they are still there because from the game I can select competitive game and select to wwhich server I want to connect, when I select Madrid nothing appears in the geofilter. 

Then, 

From my pic I can guarantee is not an authentication server is the one where i connected and my filter is not blocking those servers. Before it was working fine. 

2 issues: the I2D servers are not visible and I cannot filter. Both before were okay, some months ago.

Try this:

  1. Quit the application/game/client completely
  2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter
  3. Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC)
  4. Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
  5. Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option
  6. Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
  7. Wait 2 minutes
  8. Boot up application/game/client

Then see if it works.

Yeah it will have successfully synced, don't worry. You can verify by checking the logs in System information and there should be an entry in there about it.

i play on middle east fifa servers and in my region there are two servers located in middle east  , on geo filter one icon shows host (which is amazon awz server) and 2nd server shows as player icon  (which is i3d server ) i am telling here  the connection experience which was so smooth and it was like you are playing offline  but actually playing online 

my friend called me from London and asked me to play pro clubs  i said ok and when i was going to play and there was fifa update so i change my connection from lan to to WIFI to download update and when the update is complete i change my  connection to lan  and on geo filter i allowed middle east HOST server  (amazonawz)  and went to pro clubs lobby  and then increase set distance on geo filter covering both middle east servers .on geo filter all matches found on i3d server and connection was amazing . this has never happened because when ever i am connected to first server (amazonawz) all matches will be found on that server only when i play fut  and same goes to i3d server  . this is the first time happened when i was connected to amazonawz server and was playing all matches on i3d server i went fut mode to check and same thing all matches were found on i3d server and connection was amazing and ping was same no change . next day i tried same thing but never succeeded 

apologies for long story but my question is what really happened and how ?

Most likely that's just down to the game, they may use the i3d server when the game is under heavy load such as during peak times when more people are on AWS, if you're forcing them the same way and they're in the exact same location then it will be down to the game to decide

hi mate, this still doesnt work. 

 

There is an issue happening in the geofilter for sure, any logs I could extract for you? 

edit: and actually now after following all this process , I cannot see any server in Europe appearing. (Actually I cannot see any server worldwide apart from the one for authentication in US when I switch ON my playstation)

Was the PlayStation powered on during this process? If so you'll need to reboot it.

Can you send over an updated screenshot of how Geo-filter is now configured?

the behaviours are the same in all the browsers, chrome, edge and mozilla. 

 

Ip and Macaddress are the same as I can see in my PS5 screen so I am in the correct device, also as I said I can see appearing the Authentication server when I switch on my ps5, but nothing in the games.

Could you repeat the steps Fraser suggested, it may not have sync'd from the cloud successfully the first time:

  1. Remove PS5 from Geo-filter and power it off
  2. Resync cloud from three-line menu
  3. Go to Device Manager and delete the PS5
  4. Reboot the R2
  5. Wait two minutes, then boot and reconnect the PS5.
  6. Wait two minutes, then re-add PS5 to Geo-filter using 'Choose manually' option.
  7. Reboot the PS5 before booting a game.
