Battlefield 6 Beta Game mode (boost, QOS) not working

[Redflame]

Im trying out the BF6 Beta:

this is my first beta with this router and Duma os, so forgive me if this normal behaviour.

So when playing a game thr router detects game udp packets and then ‘boosts them’ by putting them at the front of any traffic, so local network doesn’t disrupt gameplay.

Geo filter works perfectly. But game mode/boost isn’t working.

I try to resync cloud in geo filter to see if that may help router recognise but it did nothing.

incase my router was glitching out, I tried bo6 and Fortnite and it worked.

Performance is a mixed bag. In 5-10 percent matches I have 1 percent packet loss (according to ea network stat) 45 percent of games are fine good overall connection, good hit detection etc but input lag is a bit delay in some cases. And 45 percent it’s perfect no issues at all.

I’m either hitting London 7-8ms ping. And every so often Frankfurt 20-22ms. Time nudge (not sure what this is entirely) but on the servers is 14-10ms.

Ive had the icon for latency variation popping up. Here and there.

again no jitter or packet loss issues. So I think that part is the server given at one point logging I was in a queue of 20k players waiting lol xD

We always try to test games during their beta stages where possible but due to the often limited time we have with it and that everything is subject to change we can never guarantee 100% support with it during the beta stage. While we finalised testing with it on Friday and so were able to put out a cloud update for our own platforms the same day, with EE we need to wait for their go-ahead before we can push an update that can affect so many people. So I would hope that we'd be able to get that out for the next beta event but if not we'll be ready to go at least for launch day. 

Do keep in mind as well that the servers are really busy currently, I'm getting into queues waiting to launch the game and that will be part of their testing, seeing how the networking experience is for everyone so I wouldn't expect everything to be super smooth currently.

Thanks for updating me.

Do you or any of your team know what time nudge actually is? And if it show me below, above, or lock step with ping value?

Am I right to assume that this update will just arrive, I won’t need to manually resync cloud on geo filter? 

My gameplay to gameplay moments most of time (the 45/45 split) is still good, good hit detection sync with server and interaction with game elements. On the packet loss servers though, I do tend to die around corners.

my main concern was as it’d not being boosted over other packets if any family member does uploading files or heavy stream I’ll get packet queuing.

Thanks for all the hardwork you guys are doing over there at NetDuma, I do hope you enjoy your time in the beta  it’s amazing from what I played so far.

We wouldn't be able to determine that value I don't think.

That's right, it'd apply automatically as soon as it is available. No worries at all and thank you! I'm enjoying it and I don't usually play BF!

Hey Fraser

I hope you are well. 
So battlefield 6 has released and I still noticed the game mode isn’t boosting battlefield 6, whereas it boosts the other games such as (Rogue company, call of duty mw3/bo6/warzone, gta online, Fortnite, Battlefront 2)

Out of curiosity I downloaded BF 2042 ( the previous one that released in 2021) and that is actively being boosted. 
 

I noticed on geo-filter that when I’m playing on a London or Frankfurt server. The server is a white dot. Then there’s a server in Oklahoma City with the gamepad icon that pops up. In battlefield 2042 it just shows only Frankfurt or London but with the gamepad icon on them instead of just a dot. Note: my ping is either between 6-8 or 20-22, so I don’t think im connecting to the states (I’m uk btw).

I'll have to check with the team to see if the cloud has been updated (of course we need to get the approval of EE first). We're aware of the Oklahoma servers and they will be resolved in that cloud update

I did have a look around the forum just to see if it was EE or if it was affecting the whole of Netduma. I noticed that others were having issues, and you + your team are doing a lot and dealing with a lot of BF issues & are very busy coz of this. so appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

Lately it has shown the right servers. But every so often it shows up USA servers erroneously. I’ve blocked all non eu servers due to cod. And when I play bf6 I have to use non filtering because it won’t connect to London or Germany as router thinks it’s a USA server. 
 

Also just to clarify, are you fixing the game mode/game boost issue - where battlefield 6 isn’t being prioritise or just the geo filter issue?

No worries! Is the ping to that US server actually lower so it should be an EU server? If so, if you could provide the ID for it we can correct it. Both really should be sorted, I'm just not sure when EE will allow for the update to go through

Hi Fraser,

I’ve pop down the servers ID that come up today. Based on ping they all seem to be possible be Germany (my ping to Frankfurt is 19-22ms) and that’s what I was seeing here.

I’ve also posted matchmaking flow, so on my 7 matches which servers I got and in what order. I don’t know if this helps.

Please note: Battlefield 6 still wasn’t boosting. I played Call of duty: MW3 (2023 version) and battlefront 2 (a frostbite dice game) before checking out Battlefield 6 and they were both boosted. This was on ps5 pro btw.

The 1G servers blocks on my geo map are pointing towards USA, Oklahoma City.

1GAUNE

1GAUAI

1GAUVC
1GAUTQ

The 53 are showing up as Frankfurt, Germany on my geo map.

53JUL9

53JT8V

53JULT

Note: when 53 server ID’s pop up, the below id that pops up and shows in London. The geo behaviour is the following - gamepad icon is in Germany and there’s a white dot in London light up solid no flashing or flicking as if a constant connection. White dot in London is (56) and the gamepad in Germany is (53) if that makes sense? The USA server appearing - the white dot in London didn’t appear.

56NFLM < London white dot.

Matchmaking flow 

 

Match 1) 1GAUNE

 

Match 2) 1GAUAI

 

Match 3) 53JUL9

 

Match 4) 53JT8V

 

March 5) 53JULT

 

Match 6) 1GAUVC

 

Match 7) 1GAUTQ

Great thank you very much, that's really helpful, I'll check in with the team to see if the cloud was updated (sounds like maybe it hasn't been) and see if we can get this corrected asap

No worries. I appreciate no software is perfect and there will occasionally be bugs popping up, and can’t phantom the complexity that DUMA OS is doing under the hood to boost game packets or know which server is the game one, and filter out the bad apples (laggy ones).
 

I appreciate all the effort you and your team is doing, and how speedy you are. I think EE usually push updates to their app at the end of the month (what a rep told me before) so I’ll update you in the last week of November if the issue is still there.

Appreciate the understanding! That's a good point, I'm not sure if they keep to that plan for us as the cloud would effect every router but it's quite possible, will let you know if I hear anything also.
