khola Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Search goes from "Searching for a match" to "Connected" it connects to a server outside of the GeoFilter and then disconnects and the "Searching for a match" message appears again until you find a server within the highlighted area in Geofilter. Once the match is over you will receive a -200 SR in addition to the SR earned for winning the match. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Tested with Geofilter off and it doesn't occur.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 11 Administrators Share Posted February 11 It must be that they attempt a connection to the game when it is already loading in, if that's the case it'll be hard to have that work. The only thing that would allow this to work potentially is to ensure you have Geo-Latency enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khola Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 When Geo-Latency is enabled GeoFilter doesn't work, this is all not making sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 11 Administrators Share Posted February 11 How does it not work exactly? Basically, it sounds as though instead of trying to see if you can connect before loading you in, it's doing the opposite, loading you in then attempting a connection but we can only block when that attempt is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khola Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Here's what's happening exactly. Scenario #1: Geofilter enabled with Geolatency off - "Searching for a match" to "Connected" it connects to a server outside of the GeoFilter and then disconnects and the "Searching for a match" message appears again until you find a server within the highlighted area in Geofilter. Once the match is over you will receive a -200 SR in addition to the SR earned for winning the match. Basically player gets penalized because its not connecting to the server the game wants you to connect to. Scenario #2: Geofilter enabled with Geolatency on - Can connect and play normally without losing SR, however it picks servers outside the selected range, basically Geofilter is not working.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 12 Administrators Share Posted February 12 Scenario 1 makes sense, no way around that with Geo-Latency off. Scenario 2, getting games outside the radius can happen, it's not necessarily a bug, basically even though the game knows it'll be a bad connection outside the radius it is choosing to put you on those servers anyway. We're working on tweaking the parameters to make that happen less. Make sure you are on the .41 firmware though as it will have improved over previous versions, if you haven't done so already do a factory reset on that version.
