K0NSPIRACY Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Is there any way to get a preset on DumaOS to allow XBL Party Chat? I’m finding this particularly annoying that when I’m using geo filter to connect to servers further away that I’m unable to connect to XBL Party Chat. I’m aware that we can do this ourselves by allowing each chat server we connect to and allow friends, but this is a very hit and miss method, and not to mention to takes a while to do which is both frustrating for myself and friends. Also all this work goes down the pan if we have to factory reset the R2 for whatever reason. Is there any way we can request this feature to be added as it would be very helpful for a lot of us?

Yes, I'll add this as a suggestion. The team may have already looked into it in the past, but we may be able to whitelist the addresses for XBL chat servers so you don't have to. Thanks for posting!

An XBL chat server whitelist would be a massive help and hugely appreciated. 👍 It’s got to the point now where I only use geo filter if I know I’m going to have a long gaming session playing solo, and I don’t even bother with geo filter when playing with friends…and that pretty much renders my R2 useless to me.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 17, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2023 Once you've added your friends you shouldn't need to do it again - unless their IPs change frequently? If you do come across those chat servers do let us know the IDs and we can get them added as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that I shouldn’t get my hopes up and we’ll have to continue trying to resolve this issue ourselves…or is it something that can be taken care of by yourselves by whitelisting the XBL chat servers as suggested by Liam? If you need information from me, what is the best way to identify the correct XBL chat servers as there are numerous servers that pop up when I create a party or join one? Like I said, I find this whole process very hit and miss…at one stage I had allowed at least 15 servers that I thought were chat servers or friends but still couldn’t connect to party chat. Personally I believe this should be a basic feature on DumaOS and would be easier for you guys to implement for a lot of players rather than lots of players having to do this whole annoyingly long winded process.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 18, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2023 If it just uses servers that's no problem at all, we can resolve that quite easily, if it still does rely on direct connections to friends that's not something we can do automatically - we don't know who your friends are, you'd just need to add them manually but mostly if you do it once you won't need to do it again. Don't worry about it too much, as it's the weekend I thought it may be helpful to get a head start on the servers but if they're hard to identify we'll get that sorted.

I’ve never had any issues connecting to friends in game or chatting with them using in game chat when using geo filter so haven’t got them added at the moment (obviously happy to do so if needed). The issue only appears when trying to chat via the XBL chat servers so if you guys can take care of that side then it would be awesome!

An improvement in what way? If we still have to allow each XBL chat server we connect to when we create or join XBL party chat (plus allow friends) before being able to communicate then I’m not sure how that improves anything tbh. May be I’m not understanding how this works correctly but a simple preset feature or check box to “allow all” XBL chat servers would resolve this in an instant.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2023 The servers should be allowed so you shouldn't have to do anything in that regard but you may need to add your friends still. An option like that wouldn't really work, it's still dependent on the cloud and they change/update those servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so you’re saying that all I need to do is add friends to the allow list and don’t have to add the XBL chat servers in order for XBL party chat to work whilst using geo filter? If so, at what point is it best to add and allow friends…when they join the party chat or if they join an in game lobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created an XBL party chat by myself and within a minute it automatically disconnects therefore the chat servers have not been whitelisted correctly. FYI this happens when my geo filter is set to Italy and Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Still doesn’t work and disconnects within 1 minute when using with geo filter. Back to the drawing board for the team! Edit: XSX is unable to get a Teredo IP address with geo filter enabled so may be this is part of the issue? Edit2: Port forwarded UDP3544 which resolved Teredo error after restarting R2, but was only temporary so both the party chat and Teredo issues remain whilst using geo filter. Please note: this is really starting to do my head in so please ask them to resolve properly asap as geo filter on R2 is pretty much useless to me if I can’t communicate with friends in party chat.
