Anyone else having trouble with geofiltering after the mid-season 5 update in Warzone?


Recommended Posts

Can't get a match unless I turn filtering off.  I've had the same geofilter on for several years and never really had an issue but I haven't been able to filter since the update.  I basically have the Northeast quarter of the US OK'd and there are tons of servers here but it won't find a match no matter how long I wait...

Have you been adding servers to your deny list recently? I'd suggest deleting your polygons and making one big one so its not overlapping several times and also test with the radius instead

Posted

I don;t like the radius because in order to get chicago and the mid west servers it has to be big enough to include Atlanta and the Atlanta servers are filled with spanish speaking people which I don't care to play with because I can't understand a word they're saying.  The only servers I add to the deny list are the Atlanta servers which are outside of my area.  I'll try deleting the polygons...

Redid my polygons and 5 minutes queuing and no match.  It REALLY wants to send me to the Atlanta servers that I have blocked and that are outside of my radius...

Can you provide the IDs for some of those Atlanta servers you've blocked please? It may be some are required to be connected to. You haven't blocked any servers around Ireland have you?

It would be strange because I've had a net duma router for 4 years and never had that issue.  No I never even look at Ireland servers...

I can barely see those to write them down, if you could copy and paste them it would be a lot easier. The 2 from the last screenshot at least are Atlanta and normal game servers

You'd have to click on them individually.

I may have missed some but these aren't game servers and can be removed:

  • 1750030
  • 17500L0 
  • 175010S
  • 17501GF
  • 175025T
  • 175041N
  • 17505GK 
  • 17505GY
  • 17505HZ
  • 17506NU 
  • 17507DV
  • Q0483B
  • Q048IF
  • Q0496B

Mislocated:

  • 175NVOF should be California

None that are required to be allowed at least, are you having the same issue over the weekend when the player count is higher?

I"ll try it again today and report back.  However, I've had the issue ever since the season 5 reloaded update dropped.  I've had the same basic polygon for about 4 years now and I've never had issues with not getting a game that was this bad.  If I wanted to i could let it search for an hour and not get a game I bet.  I've waited 5 -10 minutes for a game before late at night but something has changed in the last few weeks...

A few times it's said it was connecting to a game and then I get this pop-up message.

I still think it's trying to send me to the Atlanta servers because it's showing up like this...

We'd have done some cloud updates over that time but nothing that would specifically disrupt the search. Whats your NAT status? When you're not getting a game zoom out fully on the map to see if there is anything else that appears blocked/when Geo is disabled zoom out to see if there is anything else allowed. You're not using a VPN are you?

All the settings on the router are default.  Nothing has changed in regard to any of that.  Default network settings on Windows too.  Can take screenshots of anything you want me to for settings...

Here's what the map looks like when it's searching and I have filtering on.  I've let it sit like this for a half an hour and it just won't put me into a game.  Occasionally it will say "waiting.  Loading Level." and that when I get the failed to join party message shown above.  I've been able to get into exactly one match with filtering enabled since the season 5 reloaded update.

Here's what it looks like with filtering off.  I don't know what that server is off the coast of Africa that it picks up when filtering is disabled...

Could you grab the ID of that lone server please? It's likely an anomaly but could be significant and a reason you're not getting a game. I notice you're not on the Early Access update currently, have you tried on that version to see if you get the same issue?

Here's the screenshot.  It does look like I"m connected there.  I haven't tried that.  I was one of the ones that had all kinds of issues with the router dropping connectivity at the beginning and this has been stable so I haven't wanted to mess with it.  I can try it and see if it helps.  I'll also maybe try a factory reset after I update.  

Side note:  I REALLY wish you guys would add the ability to backup the names/mac addresses of the devices connected to the router back in.  I was able to do it on my XR1000 but can't do it with this router.  It's really nice not having to go through all of the devices to rename them after a factory reset...

That server definitely shouldn't in that location, its West US/Canada area and from Cloudflare, it's possible it should be an auth server, when you actually connect to it do you get a game and if so is that game then within your radius? Definitely would be a good idea to upgrade and reset after to check. 

I'll pass that request along - it's the hope that after these major features are done that we can focus more on user requests.
