Steady Ping

[Ramesh]

Just want to ask does Steady Ping only work on filtered games. Does it also work on games that are not filtered and normal web surfing? I'm asking this because if it's not being utilized unless I play a specific game, I want to disable it until I play say COD.

Also does Helldivers 2 have a filter? or is there a way to set it up?

It can work on games you're not specifically filtering/aren't able to be filtered yes. Normal web surfing no, it's kind of unnecessary for that and isn't a way to add it for that. 

It doesn't have a filter no, I'm sure we must have tested it and concluded it wasn't able to be filtered. I'll check on that, in the meantime, if you're on console it will apply to the game, if you're on PC, remove the device from the Geo-Filter, go to the Device Manager, change it to one of the console device types then re-add it to the Geo-Filter and it will apply to the game.

Which console should I choose. There's Playstation, Xbox & Games Console?

So your telling me if I'm on PC which I am. Then I should change to console and play Helldivers 2 and Steady Ping should work?

Also when choosing do I choose manually filter when adding the console device?

Any is fine, I usually say PlayStation out of habit. 

Yes that's correct, on the R3 it'll just add - that manual filter option is on the R2.
