Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 2, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2023 That is very strange, not sure what the game is doing there, could you and your friend load up CoD for example, and add them that way then move back over to BF and see if you can connect with them without adding anything else to the allow list?

TheMW2Ghost Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 We just tried this, loaded up CoD, and each time he joined my game lobby, nothing popped up at all, however, all of these icons popped up again when i joined his Xbox Party. So when we join eachothers game lobby, there's nothing, but only when we join a party on xbox or a discord server. And still, there is no player icon showing in his state, only blocked players around USA. Also can you see the overlapping icons again in my radius, no matter how far i zoom in, im only able to click on one of them (not sure if this maters or not) -- and the icon where my beam is coming out from, i have not seen that before, is it normal?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 2, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2023 Are you inviting to the party as the game is booting up? As this looks like the default server locations for the game. It's the same symbols they're just overlapping quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMW2Ghost Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 No we are already in an Xbox party, we stay in it always unless im backing out to do the test: In party > load game > invite mate to lobby. For some reason, people joining my game lobby doesnt seem to be pinging anything.. I'm playing Warzone with 1 person from USA, 1 London, and one Sctoland - (on pc, playstation, and xbox) so using game chat. No icons have popped for them at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMW2Ghost Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Ok - one of our friends dropped out - and weve got a random 4th on our team - and this icon poped up - not sure how to tell if its the guy on our team or not, but at least one icon has shown. EDIT: our teammate is in England, so its weird how he is not appearing but someone in seemingly France is.. Is all of this normal or is something not right happening in my Geo Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2023 Ahhh, I see what is happening now, as you're playing cross platform you won't be able to see your friends as individuals on the map, they will almost certainly be connecting through a server. However, if you can't determine the server, disable the filter, invite them in, re-enable the filter, wait 2 minutes then search for a game and you should be good to go.

TheMW2Ghost Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 My USA friend is the host of our lobby, so we can play some Warzone in NA, but we have been unable to find a match, it just constantly searching for a match and taking a very long time - it started 'Looking for match" at "20ms ping" - so im assuming even with him hosting, its somehow not allowing me to go to NA? I drew Polygon around UK and some of EU and then over his state which actually has a server - is this correct? Ive kept ping assist on 0. Trying to find out why when He hosts, it still puts us in my zone sometimes, and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are hosting the game you shouldn't have the filter enabled as you'll either get the split party or matchmaking will get very confused and not find a match at all.

TheMW2Ghost Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Ah, right, Thank for that. I was going to do a post actually about this. If i want my friend in whatever country to host the game - do i simply just turn Filtering Mode off while we're in the lobby, or back out first and unfilter, then join? - even with my radius and that set? Or do i need to polygon around only their location? This is what i was trying to figure out. We'll be going backwrds and fourth between EU and NA when the next CoD comes out, so would like to know the right way to be able to do this. Leave everything as is, but just turn Filtering off?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2023 You can just switch Filtering Mode off and leave your settings as they are, you'll still see servers, it just won't be doing any filtering - you can still ping. If you have trouble after switching filtering mode off restart the game, the game may be 'stuck' thinking you're only able to connect to those within your radius when it was enabled.
