Vpn cod info

[kinel]

I just recently  starting to try vpn on call of duty  games 

 So i wanted to find out as mutch as possible about it

What i would like to find out   and what lve learned so far

 All info welcome

As theres not a lot info about it

On my ps5 this was 

I was using hidemyass 

If i wanted  the game to think that i was in thecity i vpn   it would only work it imy ps5  recognied it   

Doing a ps5 speed test would let you know if it recognied it by showing in ps5  tese it logged into 'sn network  

If it fails to recognise it in ps5 buy s/ying failed to connect in speed test  

It wont show your location in game

This was with geo filter turned off

 Another indicator is on youtube the ads are in the regions  you chose

 It is possible  to et an open nat in game on ps5  on vangaurd

For me if the internal  ip is 3074 and external ip adress is port 3074 then i get an open nat   from my testing  so farif the external ip adress had difrent ports than 3074  it was a  moderate nat

I think i now know how to make the game think im in a city and play games around that area 

 With no geo  turned on

 

I had a few games  where i had geo turned on to london  it was set

 And the game thought i was in italy 

 And my ingame ping increaded to anout 78 ms around 

 But on the dumar it would show my ping was only 8ms so the geo ping wasnt showing the adddd delay

 Can sombody explain why this is

 Most times tried this method it wasnt findind the data centres so i couldnt  connect or find games

 

What i wanna beable to do is set my location to  eg   london always  and play in london to   but the game thinks im in  austrilia eg   

Ive done this  before but i dont know how i did it

I  had my geo set to london   and i played in london  but my vpn is set to austrlia eg  so ingame it shows im in aus

 But ingame the ping was still  normal around  18ms so there wasnt a delay at all

 I dont like this method so far from my testing

The reason i wanna keep my geo se t local is when i play with friends  and family  i dont wanna make them experience lag from me forcing a further away location

If i wanted to  do this i could easily do this on my dumaros already and ii dont want to effect my freinds

 I seen sombody here say they use port

443tco source  1 to 65535 destination tcp  why do they chose 443tcp my understanding 443 was for the use of http or https

 Could sombody post a list of the cod server locations or the psn ser locations

 I think this might be helpful when trying to find out where to set your vpn to match the servers  

As my vpn has  loads of location i have no clue if it near a cod server or psn server 

Somthing else i noticed  when i ran the speed test in ps5  it would show me the psn server in that location if the speed test recognised it  then i would allow it

I think this might be really important in trying yo get the ps5  to think im in that location and play somwhere else

Why are you always asking about these kind of things instead of just playing on your regional servers with geo filter to prevent higher pings? Are you trying to circumvent SBMM?

[Sgt-Greco]

Do not bother OP.  Trust me. Trying to manipulate your connection is a waste of time and hard earned money. Turn off Crossplay if you are on console and put hours in the game you are interested in to get better. You will have good games and bad games. That's it.

[Fuzy]

I came to think that it would also be more pleasant to switch from xbox to PS to avoid the cross-platform on COD or a cross-platform console only.

On Xbox war zone does not work without cross-platform, it seems to me!

 

if you could edit your post by removing the name of the pseudo cheat site, that is appreciated!

Ive been playing cod  since mw2 original  i played every cod game

I get sick of playing on a brilliant connection  and being put at a disavantge  in these cod games

Im trying to get lag comp on my side  its always against me   it seems

Sgt greeco  i  play a lot a real lot of hours a day   when i play cod games  as i had a lot of free time

I always have cross play disabled  only because of pc players have a  loads of  advantages

 Hacks    and 240hx compaired to 120hz ps5

   On ps4  60hz is a delay to our  ping of aroung 16ms

On ps5 120hz is a delay of 8ms around to your ping

On pc if you can run 240  has a delay to your ping of sround 4ms around  this is massive  advantagein a fps game

 

 

 Im just trying to find ways to  learn how to vpn    for when mw2  starts   incase i need it

 We all bought the router to help us for cod

After reading and testing for a long period of time 

I found the  ports that helped my hit detection   it was from me starting many posts here asking for help

 I tyhen learned how to find the ports  cod uses  i think sgt greeco you actualky told me about you could see  the ports used in openwrt stats page  

 This little bit of infomation has helped me a maybe others

As i game me the ability to find the port ranges a lot of users here used to use 

  Source 3074 3076 destination 30000 to 45000 udp

Anyway with or "without sbmm" on this game, either with sbmm you find lobbies that sweat more fun, or "without sbmm", lobbies with plots in the corners that use machine guns.

Believe me there is more middle ground in multiplayer! The only thing you can do at this point is find the server closest to you and remove the cross-platform!

The last solution would be just for you to go back to old CODs that don't have SBMM! Because nothing will change on the next ones. Moneymoney!!!!!

My experience with Warzone and VPN's wasn't a good one.

Firstly, it still put me in lobbies with folk way better than me... secondly it made the connection crap.

Plenty of times I'd shoot someone who has only just flown in (so hardly any health) and put 10+ shots into them and not make a dent in their health bar.

Like others above have said, stop trying to manipulate things and just play the game.

After all, isn't that why we have games right? To play them? Not spend lots of time messing with router settings, headset settings etc.

I wish that  was the case ide love to  be alble just to play the game  

 Without trykng to  vpn   ive spent years trying  to get the best line possible      using ping plotter  and  dsl reports for buffer bloat

 But i always felt s sec behind everyone else

I gave up smoking yeards ago and when i play the game  with optimezed settings  i wanna ciggy after every match

The game makes me angry  lol

I just love playing private lobbies with my friends

I just wanted to  ask  when playing cod  games

 Do you guys use hdr  set to on or off

Im wandering if hdr adds a delay  also do you have hdcp disabled i just seedn a vid recently saying ps5  should  disable it as it adds 33ms delay around  

 What resolution do you guys recomend as well

It all depends on what signal you're using for your gaming setup Monitor or TV.  Some TV does have "some"  added input delay with HDR. For example, few years ago. John did a video showcasing the input delay with HDR on and OFF with his current setup at that time with his monitor. There is some input delay but it's not major, but if you want some competitive edge or you're just nit-picky about your input delay then then you turn it off but it's still minor. Another user on YouTube showed that HDCP does add a little bit of input delay but, same as John, it's minor. Some TVs/Monitors does have their own input delay. Currently, as far as TV's OLEDs seem to give the least amount delay also utilizing HDMI 2.1 for next-gen, helps with this somewhat. As @N3CR0 pointed out, trying to manipulate your connection or find some way mitigate SBMM is going to yield undesirable results and time trying to find such results. It's a 'feature' of the game that has been implemented.

 

You can visit rtings.com to check out various TVs and Monitors input delay if you don't have a monitor device on hand to do it manually for your display to get a general idea of what input lag you may have.

 

Here's a few sources to assist you.

Exactly. You've spent years and still don't have the answer.

I also spent years trying to get CoD to work and gave up.

If you think you're gameplays are gonna end up like the YT'bers / Twitch streamers / Pros then you'll be trying for the rest of your gaming life my dude.

I also recommend the site Tray mentioned. Its thanks to that site that I made the decision on what monitor to buy as there was several I was looking at.

If a game makes you that frustrated and angry then the sensible thing to do is either stop caring so much and accept it for what it is…or simply stop playing. A game simply isn’t worth the stress it seems to be causing you, so if it’s no longer fun for you then stop doing it.

You also have to put things in to perspective…there are literally millions of ppl playing COD on much worse hardware and connection set ups than yours, and the overwhelming majority just get on with it and play regardless of any lag/latency/delay issues…most of them won’t even know these issues exist let alone try to do anything about it.

And with that being the case, there is literally nothing that you can do to achieve the perfect connection all of the time because all things are not equal in online gaming due to the variety of hardware and connections to the game.

If you’ve done the best you can to minimise any disadvantage in terms of hardware and connection, then the only guaranteed way to deal with it if you don’t like it is either don’t play or adjust your play style accordingly. Ultimately, just try to enjoy playing the game…and when you don’t enjoy it any longer, then stop.

Anyways thanks for your advice   

 Every year i quit cod and say i will never play it again or buty it again   and i always end up buying it and quit after a few months

Thank you @@trayday for the helpfull links 

 

Sett the most frustrating part is i know  how  playing cod mw2 original and bo1  play on  my old  line that  i thought was optimized but  wasnt  and the game played  ok  my average kd was around 10 kills 3deathd  my kd ratio was about 1.8

 But i found out about fastpath profile  aka interleaved off

  My  kills per game was  27 kills to 2 deaths every game

 I would win nearly every ffa game on my optimized line

 This was on a 9db line

 

 I even used to  to try difrent profiles  6b  and 12db thinking  they might be better

 But sadly they performed   badly   my kills droped  to how it peformed  before fastpath was enabled

I would  love to be able to redreate that old fastpath godlike line   but far as i know it was a adsl thing

 Plust i created a thread ttying to find out how to do this but sadly i never found out how too

 

 

 

 

Here is somthing i did notice that helped me in the last few daysmy hit detection has always been good since using my port ranges

 But i was always a sec behind

 But  since i used a new port range   im not feeling   the lag comp effect as mutch  i wasnt feeling a sec behind

 This was playing in a 17ms ingame ping with hdcp turned off on vanguard

 Ive seen from my testing over the years  that the cod games were using these ports but i thought it was for   data centre info

 But from my testing   last few nights  its seems its using these ports a lot of data is being used

If anyones intreseted in trying it our for them selves  the ports are 

 

 Source 1 -65535 destination  443 -443 tcp

  Theses ranges  seem to play betrer when i  used cross play from my testing and i hate cross play

 

Im guessing  is because people say consoles use mainly udp

  But becaue it  a pc server we play on  it probally use tcp is my guess

[alex.devine]

At one point I was like yourself... I will find a solution!

I NEVER DID, I now just use the XR500 as intended with Geo and QOS, my house runs 35+ devices and I need the QOS to stop the lag.

So I treated myself to the new LG C2 42" < Amazing TV and the Steelseries Nova Pro Wirelesses HAHA.

I am looking forward to MW2 and I hope they make a couple of changes.

Give up and enjoy the gaming or it will consume you

Thank you alex    i have a very simmilar set to yours

I have the lg c1    and the nova prls wired

 Do you have any good eq settings for cod 

 Have  you found ant good settings for your tv

 As im finding in game mode   the piture is to dull and washed out its not vibrant enough

 Any tips

As far as TV settings, one of personal favorite channels is Plasma TV for Gaming. He uses the LG C1 and has extensively and continues to experiment and provide results with his findings regarding HDR, input lag, and visual clarity/accuracy in calibration. Although, I don't have a LG C1 but a LG CX. his information still holds up and especially in your case since you're using the same Tv. Well, I think he also recently got the C2. But still the "C" Series all use somewhat the same panels with a few tweaks here and there.

Also, I sometimes utilize BFI for smoothing out motion blur similar to ULMB, LightBoost, DyAc, ELMB, etc. This is just LG's name for it. It does add some input lag depending on the settings used but it does smooth out the motion I've noticed when playing FPS games. But at the cost of brightness as well  input lag of course. I would constantly switch between HIGH or OFF depending on what I'm playing either competitively or casually. It's something to get used to but it's no Motion Interpolation where input lag is abysmal. I ONLY use Motion Interpolation for single player games like Elden Ring and what seems to be a MUST for Gotham Knights 30 FPS ONLY.

As a placebo effect that I do is sometimes I would lower the resolution of the TV to 720p/1080p as it's not much but input lag seems to be a .1-.2ms input lag difference. Where I would also disable HDR/VRR as well, while using Game Mode. But again, this is all placebo. You can experiment  and see what results you may get.

 

My reasoning for giving this a try is because of the results Rtings acquired in their findings and there is a difference in input lag between resolutions on LG CX as shown below. Just some ideas to try.

I will add that, using HDR/VRR adds a bit more visual clarity due to color palette and VRR sometimes add just a hair bit of clarity but it's more of a eye of beholder kind of thing. 

Another thing I would like to add is regarding HDR on consoles. HDR or HD texture packs similar to playing LOW GRAPHIC Settings on PC sometimes can help in certain situations. Again, more placebo but some says it helps in their situations. It's all personal preference, regarding this. Below is youtube of PLasma and input lag input mentioned earlier.

But i think he uses a  pc toans some programje on it to calibrate

 I just found  settings that  make the colours more vibrant in a  secret menu

St2084

Its a hidden feature in lg tvs  typing 1113111 in the picture settings brings you to this secret mode

 The problem is i dont know if its asafe you use this settings

All i read on it so far st2084 changes the gamma curve of sd contenrt on hdr

 

Anybody know about st2084   picture settings option

Yes, as of lately, he's been doing more PC gaming. I mean, he does have a nice 3080 card so why not right?

 

Yes, you're correct. ST2084 basically converts SDR to HDR, or "ALWAYS ON HDR" in a sense on the OLED/LG. It does make the game more vibrant in colors, although, it's not true HDR it's still make the colors pop more due to giving more luminescence. I've used it a few times in trying to compare input lag with PS5 settings of HDR OFF, VRR OFF, and ALLM off. As I would also test using Motion Pro and TruMotion. As, if I'm not mistaken, PS5 can't use TruMotion without disabling ALLM from a previous PS5 Firmware update.

If you enjoy the effect and vibrant colors of st2084. Keep it enabled. As some will argue of the accuracy of the colors, being to oversaturated for HDR etc etc. I don't believe there's any drawbacks other than MAYBE still images like logos, HUDS, minimaps etc being a problem if the screen doesn't change often. But again, it's a maybe.

[kinel]

thankyou @trayday youve been so helpfull  

i will try your recomendations

[TODDzillaInLA]

For MW2 and WZ2 you can disable cross play on xbox. you have to do it under system settings not in game. and it sounds like @kinel wants those super bot lobbies where the enemy just touched a controller for the first time. its easier to find those lobbies with cross play on going against ps and pc players but after a game or two how fun is that going to be when a enemy is not shooting back? 90% of the community trying to vpn looking for bot lobbies are the actual bots. all these streamers basically brain washed you into thinking your going to find these easy lobbies but what they wanted was you with that 1.5 to negative kd all in the same reign all on the same sever all the gold fish in one pond. Just like they post a video with a loadout but that loadout is no where close to what they are actually running, Then little Billy and Timmy are running around with loadouts that can not kill anything.

The bot lobbies you are looking for exist but the majority are not going to do what it takes to achieve them. whether it be financial and or hardware reasons
