alecjb12 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 As the title says, my GeoFilter is not longer working after the last COD update. When I used to force connect to a region, my ping in-game would replicate that shown on the heatmap or near it. After the update, I can no longer connect to a specific region, only servers near my actual location. I've tried resetting the router, resetting my xbox, changing the geofilters location, etc. I also used to get 'Failed to Join Host' when the game would try to force me to connect to a server out of my designated geofilter region, but that is no longer occuring either. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Lions Podcast Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Same problem - the geofilter setup that worked for MW2, MW3, and up til now is no longer working. Settings haven't changed. It just stopped working and now I am placed all over the US - Jersey, Chicago, LA, Texas. Its bananas how they don't care an iota about your location when putting a lobby together. I need to get control over this back or its the end for me. I won't play a game that is so horribly manipulative - I can watch a movie if I don't want to affect the outcome of something on the screen by my actions.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 28 Administrators Share Posted November 28 This could be the effect of the update they mentioned regarding a VPN - if you're trying to force a server really far away that highly increases your ping it may not work. Where are you located and where are you trying to force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Lions Podcast Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I'm in Florida and Attempting to lock in Atlanta server. its really intermittent. Works for a bit, then doesn't. Been as far away as Chicago and LA for servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecjb12 Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 @Detroit Lions PodcastDo you have your ping slider set to 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Lions Podcast Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 yes -everything used to work and was setup to spec. This is a new wrinkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 30 Administrators Share Posted November 30 Just double check: Disable GeoLatency Disable PingAssist (set it to 0,0) Enable Strict Mode Disable Fast Search Use Simple instead of Custom radius Then restart game or wait 10 minutes (in the lobby in the game). If that doesn't work, reboot PC/Console and it should work then. If you're on the game already don't change Geo-Filter settings and then immediately search, reboot the game and it should work.

RubenP Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 hi guys It happens to me too, I used to be located in the ocean, I started searching with a ping of 200 and I found games very quickly to a good ping near my location, it doesn't work anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw3ar Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 So that's why It is hard for me to connect to nearest server? Located in my town lol. Since S1 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have an issue with close servers, they're just concerned about high pings caused by those using VPNs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that due to this time of year more people are playing and the servers are becoming fuller which in turn makes it hard to force a server if you just have the one selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to deny and still connecting? WTF? I can't determine the cause just from that picture, it could be a few things: GeoLatency being enabled PingAssist being enabled Strict Mode being disabled Fast search being enabled Could also be changing Geo-Filter settings while you were on the game and then not rebooting the game before searching again - this will be why you denying it didn't work as the connection was still partially active when searching, the connection needs to be severed fully before it is then blocked. It's very unlikely we would have added that server to the whitelist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 7 Administrators Share Posted December 7 Could be any of the 4 bullet points I mentioned, make sure you adjust those if needed and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw3ar Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Can you remotly check what's going on? It keep connecting me to London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 7 Administrators Share Posted December 7 No it doesn't really work like that. The server appears to be a Google server so I'm not sure if it's actually the game server or not. Try this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it adheres more to your radius.
