Jackal235 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I'm in North America with geo fencing enabled around my location, however...each time I'm looking for a new game some server in Europe pops up. Is it a matchmaking server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2023 The server in Europe is the authentication server required for online play, it doesn't affect your game ping at all - the server inside your radius is the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2023 There are some auth servers in the US as well, just depends what it can use at the time, it's completely independent from your game server though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal235 Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Despite your sense of humor I wish I could block it and see if the game would find different server. Not sure if it's only about the authentication or also about the matchmaking, since it appears before every new game. It's also very easy for me to find any game close to this server in Europe than to find the game on the west coast for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2023 It's definitely just authentication and blocking it would prevent you getting a game but try this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC) Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it works better.

Jackal235 Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Thanks Fraser. After all these steps the same server shows up as a peer, which can be blocked from the bottom menu. Not sure if it's going to have any effect thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2023 Probably one that we have yet to add, you can deny it if you wish but it'll probably mean you won't get a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you're correct, it didn't allow me in the game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2023 It doesn't matter which auth server you connect to, you should still be able to find games in the US with an EU auth server being used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODDzillaInLA Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 those servers are to try to stop people from using vpn and geo filters, if you connect to the game with the geo filter on it with throw you on the opposite side of the globe with a 163 ping or higher, most people on pc dont know how to get vpn to work at the moment too Michael Carrasco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Activision is fully aware of this router. even tho they say it isn’t cheating they have found a way to work over the routers. I’m located in Texas and a few months ago I played continuously on the Texas server and now it just throws me to foreign lobbies with 100+ ping. If you look at the picture of the original post you’ll see the authentication server is “demonware” that’s the anti cheat system cod uses. It can’t be that my local server is offline or full because this has been well over 2 months that I can’t join the Texas server. I have my radius around Oklahoma and Texas with ping assist of 35 And never connects. Sad but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true Hey there, did you try my suggestion from your previous topic on this issue to see if it is just the Geo-Filter? Demonware facilitates the online play - the authentication servers that are required to allow you to play, they've done so for years and are now a subsidiary of Acti/Blizz, the anti-cheat is Ricochet.

Hey Fraser, yes to my knowledge I tried everything from giving my pc device type ps. Clearing cookies, messing with qos, forcing the server. The only time it works and sometimes is when I disable filtering mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a look at Ping Heatmap, does the ping you would have to that server still appear in Texas or is it appearing elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Carrasco Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 The Texas server normally gives me 20-28 ms / sometimes it’ll show up on ping heatmap, other times it will show with the same ping in a different state/ perhaps mis located? Usually there’s a server that has kinda the identical ping in Alabama or Georgia if I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
