Sgt-Greco Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hi MW3 Forcing a specific server to join works but only for the first two or three games in a row. After that the in-game search is restricted to my region (EU) without finding any game at all. @Netduma Fraserany ideas how can I stay longer or permanently on this specific region/server?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 25 Administrators Share Posted February 25 Put Ping Assist to 0, otherwise it can/will find servers up to the 140ms you've put there to connect to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt-Greco Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 but they are 140ms away. They are in a totally different region. And I'm OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG82 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 On your picture you can see a tick next to some servers. Have you set these to allowed manually? If so, remove them from the list. If you manually enable servers outside your search radius, these servers will of course also be included in the selection for the connection search.

Sgt-Greco Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 3rd and I'm out 😔 Back in a EU server with a weird indication that I'm in a "Very Good 56ms LA server" which is impossible as I am playing from Greece Something is seriously broken. Anyway bro @ChrisG82, thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG82 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 You can still see servers with tick marks on your map. You can also try the following: remove the Xbox from the geofilter and then run the Cloud Sync from the geofilter. Then add the Xbox back to the geofilter. Then wait 10 minutes in the lobby of the Game. Maybe reboot the R3 after removing the Xbox from Geofilter… However, I know that the geofilter doesn't seem to be working quite as it should at the moment. For example, I also had the problem today that I was connected twice to a server in Saudi Arabia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remove console from devices , reboot and post back. ChrisG82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG82 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hmm, no idea if this is different between PlayStation and Xbox servers but I don't have any servers on the map with tick marks unless I really set them manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisG82 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Maybe @Netduma Fraser can give an explanation. I don’t have one 😞 Sgt-Greco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hi ! In both cases it is an authentication server linked to Xbox live... (Xbox ping test concerning me in Amsterdam) 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm OK with that. I thought you wanted to force servers within your radius though? If so then you need to have Ping Assist on 0. It'll be what Fuzy mentions above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG82 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 @Sgt-Greco Good morning. I may have another tip for you. I tried this yesterday and since then I have not been connected to servers outside my markings: go to the geofilter settings and switch off the „Geo-Latancy“ function. I did the same yesterday and all matches I played connected to servers that were in the areas I specified. Sgt-Greco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmz Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Bonjour, petite question est il possible de choisir un serveur via ping heatmap directement avec le R3 ? Car sur le R2 je n'arrive pas à le forcé si vous avez des solutions d'ailleurs je suis preneur. Ma configuration: Ping assit 0 Rayon au minimum autour du serveur Strict mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG82 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 @Hmz No this is not possible actually… Hmz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what it is supposed to do. My main problem is that the server in a region I choose, plays for 3 to 6 or 7 games in a row and after that it completely stops and keeps searching forever. Sometimes the matchmaking returns to my region (i can tell from the ping value) . Either way it keeps searching forever. PS. Did you stay in the same region for a good amount of games?

I get this same issue. To fix it I have to turn my PS5 off and on. Then boot back into the game. sasan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 29 Administrators Share Posted February 29 Doesn't look like it's trying to search at all, if you restart the search when that happens does the same thing happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
