Okay no worries, I'll pass it on, no one else has reported this issue so it might be more in depth than a cloud update but we'll see what happens with this next one.

I presume no one else would have reported it if they already have the XBL chat servers allowed. As per my OP, this would essentially be a new feature/preset whereby XBL chat servers are allowed by default if enabled…the alternative is each user having to allow all XBL servers every time they connect and use geo filter which is very hit and miss (not to mention add them all again any time the R2 needs a full reset or update), and is very frustrating particularly when you play with friends that don’t have or even understand how DumaOS works.

They would have had to add them manually and not everyone knows how to do that, there would have definitely been some reports. It's not really possible to just do that as it would still be cloud based so it would still need to be updated by us. I will get back to you when I know more about the particular issue.

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?

I would recommend using the mobile app it just faster instead of having to pull up laptop/pc if your a console gamer. As for chats on Xbox can't say much I am ps user you'll still have to manually whitelist players that join party chat depending on your geofilter settings range.

@K0NSPIRACY could you resync the cloud in the same manner as before and let us know if it seems like its fixed now?

Will do Fraser. Just to confirm, is this supposed to resolve the XBL chat server issue when using geo filter?

Yes it should do - you'll still need to add your friends to your allow list though but you shouldn't need to add any servers.

Ok will resync cloud geo filter and reset now, and test later today. Does it matter what version of DumaOS that I’m running? I’m currently on v3.3.142.

No it won't matter what firmware version you're running. Fingers crossed, keep us posted!

Still doesn’t work and still the same issue. With geo filter set to Spain and Italy only, if I create an XBL party on my own (and not even inviting or joining friends) it disconnects within a minute with “party encountered an error message”. 
 

When I look at geo filter when creating XBL chat party, I can see blocked servers in Amsterdam and Portarlington (Ireland) however it still disconnects and they are still blocked no matter how many times I allow them.

Okay that's disappointing, could you give me some of the IDs of those servers if possible please? If we whitelist the whole range it should work.

These are the servers that I’ve allowed when they pop up in geo filter after creating XBL party chat:

Amsterdam:

d414c08bb173989d

7f14b883b11e989d

7f14b37eb11e989d

 

Ireland:

3a14834eb1d9989d

381405d0b1d73e43

 

Didn't record location:

e0148752b17f989d

2714d7a2b1c61217


Obviously I have no idea how many XBL chat servers there are but there is a clear pattern with some of them ending “989d”. I can only presume the ones not ending in that value are either XBL authentication or XBL party chat servers too.

Please note that these were flagged in geo filter as blocked servers whilst on the Xbox dashboard and not in any game so must be related to XBL or party chat.

It will happen, Alex has been away for a little bit so apologies for the delay

@Netduma Fraser I originally posted this over 2 months ago, so is anything likely to be done? Is anyone actually working on this? If not, what is the best way to get XBL party chat working and stable when using geo filter that only covers Italy and Spain from the UK and therefore excludes Ireland and Netherlands where the chat servers appear to be. Please note: drawing a polygon over those areas allows game servers which I’m trying to avoid.

I keep chasing but it's a hard one, it appears as though everything has been whitelisted and then we can't reproduce it, you seem to be the only person having the issue as well which makes it a harder one to resolve but we're still investigating. Were you on the testers cloud by any chance? As we've removed everyone from that today so if you resync then you'll download the normal cloud again which may help.

Just to clarify, my issue is that XBL party chat disconnects when polygon geo filter to Italy and Spain is enabled…it works fine if I have a 1000 mile radius from UK.

I don’t actually know what testers cloud means but I was previously using an early access version (can’t version number). I upgraded to 3.3.280 last week so will update cloud and test again.
