Woof Dah Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Playing Destiny with geo-filter set to U.S. area. When starting a game I'll get booted right before it starts with the "rabbit" error but my team continues on into it. If I turn off geo-filter off then everything's fine. Does this mean the host for the game is outside of my filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if enabling geo-filter boots me b/c host is outside of it, then it prevents me from playing PvP with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woof Dah Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Does this happen every time you try and play? Doesn't happen every time I play but when it does, it's pretty specific. The lobby loads, the match is about to begin and I get booted with a specific error code. I try again and the same thing happens. If I disable Geo-filter then the problem is fixed. If I'm playing solo it's kind of a PITA but if I'm on a team with friends then it really sucks b/c they continue on into the game and I'm stuck behind.

Adam Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Xbone sorry to jump in here fraser I'm assuming you get Rabbit everytime this occurs correct? The problem is you're blocking a server thats outside your geofilter range, simple to fix instead of disabling your geofilter expand it to world wide, and play as normal ,you should see a few games connect to servers in mainland EU when this happens add them to your allow list . The issue is Destinys matchmaking isnt local it will put you into matches all over the place if you play crucible as its mostly p2p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof Dah Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm assuming you get Rabbit everytime this occurs correct? Actually, it's Beaver. But I'll try the fix you mentioned and see if that helps. So what's the difference between expanding my geo-filter worldwide vs. turning it off for PvP?

I thought the point of ht geo-filter is to limit the connection distance between you and the host. Why would I want to expand it across the globe and all hosts from anywhere? That seems to defeat the purpose of having it on. What I don't like is that I get booted from a game right before it starts when geo-filter is on and the host is outside of my filter. I can't play with a team when it's on b/c I get booted and they get placed into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Woof Dah is this happening when you're the party leader? I think in Destiny you need to make the filter larger then you would for CoD because on Destiny every player has to be within the circle. So its actually better on Destiny when you get a game you should be smooth as! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My filter is currently set to the U.S and most of Canada which should be big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My filter is currently set to the U.S and most of Canada which should be big enough. But thats not a Netduma thing, that is Destiny allowing matchmaking to bring players from all over the world into same lobby. If every player has to be inside the geo-filter radius to start game successfully (as Iain says) then you have no option but to increase size / accept ratio of booted games or turn it off. Alternative would be to go and ask Bungie to sort their matchmaking but I don't think they listen so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The size of us and canda is more than enough. I didn't test destiny it was Fraser I'll ask to confirm/deny this. But for some games it's just what you have to do if you want that low distance(therefore low ping) game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The size of us and canda is more than enough. Absolutely more than enough given the player population in game. Does make you wonder when they could form lobbies with all players from same continent why they would allow 'outsiders' to join. Doesn't really help anyone. I know some will be parties of players who have chosen to accept that issue, but equally I'd put money on the game being quite capable of doing it itself. Probably a skill / level cap match up or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
