Does the Duma actually work in different locations?

[Shaun-P-81]

Tried using the Geo Filter to play in different locations for MW2 on PS5 but the the game still searches locally for me. I have tried using a the Hybrid VPN to play in different locations and that does not work either after inputting the username, password, config files and adding my PS5 as a device? I've also tried going to go back to old firmware's to see if that works, but that just gets stuck on the firmware upgrading progress bar. All I can essentially do at this point is search for lower ping lobbies which is pointless when the SBMM is so unplayable and strict in COD with my KD. Also the ping heatmap does not work for MW2 and Warzone.

Does the Hybrid VPN work for anyone else on the PS5 for MW2?

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. We won't be able to assist in circumventing SBMM though. We'll get a cloud update done for heatmap but it won't affect your ability to use the Geo-Filter.
