Guest Netduma Fraser Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 WHY DOES IT ALWAYS FREEZE WHEN TRYING TO PICK A NEW HOST!!!! This may occur when it tries to migrate to a host thats outside your filter, so as soon as you see it migrating expand your filter and you might catch it.

abc123 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 WHY DOES IT ALWAYS FREEZE WHEN TRYING TO PICK A NEW HOST!!!! When it picks a new host, packets are sent from all players to one another...so if players are outside your geo-filter...it's blocking those packets. It will seem choppy during those times, you'll either get booted or a host within range will be picked (the second is what older CoD NetCode did when there was a strict connection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I haven't had this happen yet, sounds frustrating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabX2 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can you turn the geofilter off when the game starts? That would prevent it from freezing, but once the game is over enable it. Maybe Iain can add an option in the menu to automatically disable filter once game starts. At least give you a choice. Otherwise manually do it.

Otherwise manually do it. if geofilter was off while you were joining a game you'd join all the way then get kicked out because they are outside the geo-filter range.

Once the pregame host is selected and then the game or countdown starts disable the filter, it is no longer needed. If host migrates to someone outside filter in mid game with filter on it freezes. The filter is not needed with game in motion unless you host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moofda Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I take it there are no dedis in Hawaii? You'd have to connect to cali I imagine for those.. Hmm. That is the biggest bummer about player hosts, if the host leaves it can destroy the whole game depending on how he left. Like Fraser and ABC said, maybe the new host that's picked is outside your geo-range therefore it's denied and fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elikenui Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 WHY DOES IT ALWAYS FREEZE WHEN TRYING TO PICK A NEW HOST!!!! By the way, have you gotten any player hosts in Hawaii yet? Been having a few games with local hosts and it's been great, pings have been about 30ms or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I've only seen 2 dedi servers pop up on the geo filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
