Game search

[Scott91]

Good morning. I use the xr1000 with DumaOS and also a netduma r2 to play mainly warzone. The big difference comes from the game search and I don't understand. With the XR1000 the search starts at 13 ms while with the netduma it starts at 53 ms. Why this difference? Thanks

[Netduma Fraser]

Are you using the exact same settings on both? Do you swap the routers out or connect one to the other?

[Scott91]

Thank you for your interest in me. I use routers under the same conditions and settings.

[Netduma Fraser]

What is the model of the modem/router they connect to and how do you have this setup?

[Scott91]

It is configured on a Livebox in dmz

[Netduma Fraser]

So you change the DMZ each time you switch the router over? Do you connect all devices to each or are there devices still connected to the Livebox?

Both routers vary quite differently in hardware so settings that work for one may not necessarily work well for the other. It's best to experiment with each to find what works best.

[Scott91]

Yes, the DMZ and change every time. On dumaOS routers I have an isolated network. No one except the ps5 is connected

[Netduma Fraser]

It's worth trying different options, the XR1000 has hardware acceleration for example so the same settings won't necessarily be as effective on both

[Scott91]

I would like to do it. But what are these parameters to change ?

[Netduma Fraser]

QoS will be the main thing to change if you're using this

[Scott91]

Normally the Qos has no impact since I'm talking about the search from part to part not Ping in the part. For example, by disabling the Qos I have a value linked to my internet connection on the xr1000 but not on the r2

[Netduma Fraser]

Could you clarify what you mean exactly? You said you had an isolated network on the DumaOS routers but does that mean you have devices connected to the livebox?

[Scott91]

Yes, I have an isolated network. On the Livebox I have 2Gbits/s shared (1Gbits/LAN) so my home network and separated from my netuma. Under the same conditions with the xr1000 everything happens normally for party searches but not with the R2.

OK so both the XR1000 and R2 connect to the livebox? Presumably all other devices are connected to the XR while you're testing the R2? In that case, the XR ping starts lower because QoS has control of all devices. Whereas with the R2, it's traffic is getting mixed up with the traffic coming from the XR side of the network, meaning the R2s QoS can do anything about it. Apologies if I've misunderstood your configuration at all.

[Scott91]

What I need to remember from my configuration is that I use only one router with DumaOS at a time, so the configuration is the same when using either r2 or xr1000. I did tests on my side and I even reset the r2. I finally found where it comes from, as soon as the Geo-filter is active the search for parts increases strongly in ms on the r2 while on the xr1000 it does not happen

That's interesting, can you send over a screenshot of how you have Geo-filter setup? Is it setup over your actual physical location or somewhere else?

[Scott91]

I tried a lot of things. Here are the captures

[Netduma Liam]

Can you search for a game and send a screenshot of what you're seeing when you get into a game? Hopefully we should be seeing an icon on the map and some information in Auto-ping

[Scott91]

Here is the result. In most cases I don't even have the allowed server and I don't have a visible server in auto Ping

Is that while you're actively playing a game? That server on the map is just an authentication server, you'd probably see this while you're on the menu screens/occasionally when you're in-game.

If you're actively playing a game, we should be seeing another icon for the server you're playing on.

[Scott91]

When I'm at stake, the image is the same.

[Netduma Fraser]

Put Ping Assist to 0 and search for a game again and see if that improves it

[Scott91]

Always the same, I don't understand. I'm good in a game but the Netduma doesn't seem to detect the server

[Netduma Fraser]

Try this:

1. Quit the application/game/client completely
2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter
3. Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
4. Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option
5. Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
6. Wait 2 minutes
7. Boot up application/game/client

Then see if it works better.

[Scott91]

I had already tried. Despite this new attempt, I am still at the same point. I'm good in a game but the Geo-filter doesn't show anything
