Ping Assist does not work as intented

[Tony23]

I am based in Italy and I connect to Netherlands and UK all the time... Even the ping is set to "5", I connect to high ping servers like the screenshot shows... Why is that happening?

Ping Assist is an assist, not a hard limit so you can get games higher than that on occasion. If you want to force servers you will need to set Ping Assist to 0 then it will just force games within your radius/polygon.

That I understand, however it should not connect to higher ping servers when set a specific value:

The way it works is that it takes the first ping response, if that is below your limit it will be allowed even if then the ping goes up, that allowing as already happened. We have improved upon this in DumaOS 4 though which will come to the R2 at a later date

Thanks for letting us know. The DumaOS 4 planned to roll out for the R2 like in Q1?

With all due respect, but this migration will depend on R3 sales!!! I just don't think it's cool with R2 owners, who don't want to buy R3, and be dependent on your willingness to migrate to R2!!

You don't have to buy the R3, you can still use the R2 with all its features, just because we bring out a new router doesn't mean an older one is useless. As much as we would like to we can't update every single router with DumaOS on it for a lifetime to always have the latest and greatest. DumaOS 4 will come to the R2 though.
