EA FC26 geofiltering

[Wbouaziz]

Hello Support

i am located in canada and i play EA FC26 but always being routed to distant servers all accross North America, i am planning on byuing a NETDUMA device to filter the servers i connect to when matchmaking but i did read alot of controversial stories about the NETDUMA geofiletring not working on EA FC26, can you guys confirm if this works and if EA FC26 filtering has been added to your database to help me decide wether to buy the product or not thanks.

Salut !

Le geofiltre te permet de voir tous les serveurs disponible sur le jeu (ping/distance) avec ton périphérique de jeu.

EA FC2026 comme tu as pu le lire est particulier car il utilise des serveurs relais... Avec le geofiltre , tu peux les trier !

So the geofilter option works for FC26? I know that they use relay servers and i want to avoid them but i saw on the forum that is it not working for alot of people can you please let me know if this is supported for FC26 thanks.

I don't think there are any Canadian servers for the game so you'll still have to connect to NA servers. It does work, to an extent, some have mentioned covering Japan as well as the area you want to force prevents the relay server issue happening but I can't guarantee that I will say FC players seem to have the hardest time getting a decent connection on the game regardless of the router they're using.

I know all the above about the server locations and ping compensation etc… i just want to know if geofiltering for FC26 works with your product or not thanks 🙏🏻

[Netduma Fraser]

Yes & no. When it's not trying to use a relay server it does work, when it does then no it doesn't, however as mentioned some people have potentially found a workaround to that problem though I can't speak on its effectiveness.

Do we have the possibility to know when it is using a relay server at least? Because i know on which server i want to connect and it’s location ?

With the correct Geo-Filter settings done so that you would force a server within your radius you would see the game server outside your radius and therefore know it is a relay server being used so you would know where that server is located and potentially be able to ping it also.
