HeathPitt Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hello. Whenever I use Geofilter and join Mann Vs Machine in TF2, the filter shows players being filtered. However, no server icon shows up, and I usually get connected to completely different servers despite Sydney being within my filter. My circle is 1800km and my filter is STEAMDATAGRAMRELAY. I use a Telstra Smart Modem 2nd Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 25 Administrators Share Posted January 25 It's almost certainly the service you've added, I've never seen anyone add that. Try this: Quit the application/game/client completely including from the System Tray Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager 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.

So I did all that, and it still connects me to non-australian servers, however it blocked a lot more people than last time. Now I don't know if Valve is deliberately bypassing the filter or what, but it's pretty weird. One thing worth mentioning is that it blocks players while it isn't even searching for servers or way before it says 'join match'.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 26 Administrators Share Posted January 26 It looks like everything is being blocked outside your radius there, is it showing icons like the one inside your radius outside when in a game? Do you see anything blocked on the map when you get that message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what shows when the matchmaking service is broken, I'll get ingame rq  (EDIT): The service reconnected, I'll see if it fixed my issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeathPitt Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 It appears to work now, as my first server was Australian. I'll reply if it doesn't work next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28 Administrators Share Posted January 28 From the screenshots it all looks correct and just for some reason the game is still pinging all those servers. Glad it's working now, keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 30 Administrators Share Posted January 30 Instead of the polygon mode use the radius instead, do you then see more stability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
