Disable the Geo-Filter, do you get a game then? By recent update do you mean a game update or a router update you've done?

yeah im getting games with the filter on now, i was talking about the newest call of duty update last week. For some reason when i search for a game the filter looks like this is it supposed to start and stop like this.

Do this:

1. Quit the application/game/client completely
2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter (all the ones you've added)
3. Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager
4. Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
5. Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter
6. Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
7. Wait 2 minutes
8. Boot up application/game/client

It will then work better, you also won't need to add it for multiple games, it will just apply to them all.

Switch to the radius way of filtering instead of custom, restart the console then try again

It can do yes, once it connects to a game then it will detect that and show it consistently while you're in playing

Same experience here. Something must’ve changed on Activision’s end.

Do you also play outside your region with high ping? I use geo-filter to connect to US servers from Europe so I can play with a friend in Japan. It used to work fine, but ever since the update OP mentioned, I can’t find games anymore, unless I include a server (New York) with latency under 100ms. I also tried the Saudi server (~90ms), and I’m able to find games there.  If I stick to West Coast or Central US like I used to (130ms–180ms range), I can’t find any matches at all.

Can the Hybrid VPN feature solve this issue? (Still not available on R3?) I am not very familiar with that. Would it be possible to just route my location data through Hybrid VPN, but perverse my raw connection for gameplay?
