West Coast Server Issue Warzone Battle Royal

[mfielding]

Hey guys, wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue. I don't think this is necessarily a router issue but just something I've observed playing the game. I am located in California and almost never get in a west cost server when playing battle royal. I've tried creating a smaller circle/polygon around the west coast servers but it either takes forever or I have to un-filter, restart the game, and ultimately get connected to a central or east coast circle. Anyone else experience the same thing with warzone battle royal?

This is something we have seen, it seems as though for some reason that they've reduced/made it harder to connect to West Coast servers and instead force central/east coast instead, trying to force a server on the West doesn't seem to work as well, I think if you disable Filtering Mode but still look to see where it it puts you you'll see that as well.

Got it. Kind of a bummer that they are doing that.

I have another question. When adding my PC in geo filter I see a "Call of Duty PC Only" option, but when I select that, the filtering mode is stuck in the off position. Do I need to select the regular "Call of Duty" option or change my device type of my PC to a PlayStation? I'm not sure what the best protocol for that is.

I would recommend the latter, set PC to PlayStation in Device Manager and then when adding to the Geo-Filter select the Manual option. This will also allow you to filter other games on PC if needed without switching services.
