MambaMentality Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hello, play on PC and I'm unable to load into a lobby with the geo-filter enabled. The lobby search just goes on forever even though I have several custom locations set. Originally I had just Texas, Oklahoma and Florida set but I added the other areas after not being able to get a lobby. I then disabled the geo-filter, let my friends host and we were able to get lobbies without issue. I'm on .23 firmware and would rather not reset to factory settings if I could help it as I've already done that twice after updating to this firmware. I haven't changed anything since I last played (there were some issues finding matches then too). The router seems to constantly ping servers in Miami but never connects to them. I have 26 servers allowed (none denied) between Texas, Oklahoma and Florida (MP and Warzone) yet it's very difficult sometimes to get into a lobby or pings a server forever without connecting. Please help. I have Smartboost off if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvndo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I am by no means an expert here, but I have an Idea that may help you. Simply add another pollygon around the UK. The short story is that I believe there to be an authentication server in Ireland that is checking to see if you are trying to geofilter.) That is the short answer. If you care to know why I think this read on, but I value your time and don't want to waste it if your in a hurry. I have been using net duma for quite a few years trying to crack the code to play call of duty without having an inconsistent experience. There is I believe an authentication server in Ireland for call of duty. I believe it is a Deamonware server used in the match making algorithm. With my old xr1000 it would be shown pinging it on the map whilst playing Call of Duty every so often. It was some kind of "authoritative" server because I tried everything back then to see if I could deny it and couldn't. Recently when trying to use the R3 to play on the NA servers that I want to play on, I just added a polygon around the UK (Brittan and Ireland and a little bit of the sea between Brittan and France because there seems to be a server there on one of those old WWII forts). This seemed to satisfy the call of duty authentication algorithm and since I am in the US, I never get put in those servers in the UK. It has seemed to me for a long time now trying to geofilter Call of Duty that the developers at Call of Duty are actively trying to prohibit players from in anyway messing with the SBMM algorithm. Has any one noticed the pattern? You play a game and your ping is what it is. If you go even or positive, your next game will be with an additional 30-40 or even 60 ping and if you still go even or positive it will add more up to the third game having potentially 120 ping. I did a bunch of testing in MW2 and this same pattern was in custom matches against bots........ No other actual players, just bots. This broken netcode is pervasive throughout the whole "multiplayer" experience. I was never a zombies player, but I tried it because multiplayer is so manipulated now that it's really not any fun and was super surprised at how good the internet connection could be to the servers that were close to me. Why do I say all this? Because I think that as good as the R3 is, and I think its a really good router, if you are using it to try to have a consistent multiplayer experience playing Call of Duty (as I am guessing a lot of people here are) GOOD LUCK!!! Yes, the R3 has some bugs, but go play a game like fortnite (if you play call of duty exclusively, like a lot of call of duty players) and you will see that the things that don't work for call of duty work for other games. for many "bugs" in the software, I think it is that netduma is advertising that they can manage your ping in call of duty and they can't. I think if they advertised that they had this great router (which it is!!!!) and it did all of the things they have advertised that it does, EXCEPT THAT IT WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR CALL OF DUTY NET CODE PROBLEMS!!!!!! then this forum would be completely quiet. Fraser would have a much easier life. MambaMentality, carmine19 and iOrcus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 11 Administrators Share Posted January 11 Disable GeoLatency Disable PingAssist (set it to 0,0) Enable Strict Mode Disable Fast Search Then restart game or wait 10 minutes (in the lobby in the game). If that doesn't work, reboot PC/Console and it should work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t something that has just happened last night. It often just endlessly pings a server (that I’ve allowed) but doesn’t join. iOrcus, Kage79 and oldman66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvndo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Mamba, maybe try doing what Fraser said, then additionally delete your device (console/PC) from the geofilter. Then resync the cloud from the three dot menu inside of geofilter tab. Then restart that device completely. Then re-add and just try putting an additional pollygon around the UK and let me know if it allows you to find Call of Duyt matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 11 Administrators Share Posted January 11 Good advice above, try this process which includes the above. Quit the application/game/client completely - including from the System Tray Remove device from the Geo-Filter Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it works better.

MambaMentality Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I did delete and re-add the PC from the geo filter but I will try these suggestions again the next time that I play. Thanks. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Sometimes that just happens on cod and I don’t think it’s router related. A few days ago we went in a loop like that. It would find act like it was going to start a game on a specific server then restart, we all left each other and tried to find a game individually, it ended up being someone in our group that don’t even have a netduma router just needed to restart her game then it let us find games fine.

MambaMentality Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I’m From this morning. Still constantly pinging the server but not joining. I think we eventually got into a lobby in Texas (never pinged, just threw us in there). For the record, I live in NYC. I should be getting into these lobbies someone quickly. Is this expected behavior or is something not right? My settings are all correct. We were able to get games but it took too long to get lobbies even though I live in a hot area. Also, I connected to lobbies outside my selected areas 2 or 3 times. Pinging Server.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 15 Administrators Share Posted January 15 What firmware are you on currently? We're aware sometimes it's failing to ping, we'll be improving on that in an update MambaMentality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
