Issue on VAL

[18RayF]

Hi 

I play Val only have London in game selected but im getting routed to Dubai and other servers in USA getting around 150ms which is unplayable resulting me getting banned for 72 hours .

 

I have removed from geo filter , re applied  etc nothing works.

You're saying you're being routed to other servers - do you mean you're connecting to the London server but then servers outside your radius are appearing blocked but they are the host of the game or servers are showing as allowed outside the radius?

[18RayF]

No so in game only London is selected but if i load up etc my ping is at 150 ms , on geo filter I have set radius UK only and yes servers are in USA or Dubai show despite them being blocked.

Can you provide a screenshot of what you see when it happens please?

Hey dude hope this helps make your geo filter smaller. not as big it happened to me before

Do you have Geo-Latency enabled? If so disable that and then reboot the game & game client and try again please

[18RayF]

Yep Geo Latency is enabled I will try disabling that and let you know how it goes 

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay great, keep us posted!

big valorant player here + have spoken to the Netduma team on this a handful of times. Just my experience below.

I'm in USA California and only select the California server to play on. Before, the Geo filter was showing me connecting to a server in Oklahoma - which there is no Oklahoma server in Valorant.
I confirmed the server IP address (the live connection in stats4nerds or other software can show it) and gave them the IP and server ID shown. it was fixed eventually.

What was weird is that the ping was matching what was in-game and what the geofilter was showing, just not the right location.

Rarely, geofilter will show me connecting to some place in Copenhagen with 80+ ping, but in-game my ping remains normal. Not sure if it was just showing a different connection of some sort.

Your server ID is not any of the ones I logged so maybe double check the IP, in-game ping, router ping, etc. The netduma team once pointed out a serverID I gave, which was showing while i was in-game, was some cloudfare server (so it was pinging something else while I was in-game?).

Additionally, before the location was fixed, if i blocked out "oklahoma" i wouldn't be able to join valorant matches, even though i was only selected on the Cali server in the Val menu.
Valorant does use other ports and connections for other aspects of the game, client, etc.

Not sure about you getting kicked though. I imagine if any of these are wrong in the geo filter, and you're blocking it, then the router/valorant won't be happy

Sorry for late reply but after turning off geo latency etc I cant get into any games , Val loads up etc when i select a game mode it freezes on loading screen. Ive tried the following 

Updating GPU driver, Repairing game files , uninstalling and reinstalling Val and Riot client , iva also turned geo latency back on still nothing works 

[Netduma Fraser]

Does it work without the Geo-Filter enabled?

[18RayF]

yep works now i had to disable and re enable , also ping is very inconsistent in val despite only london servers as i can load in get 6-8ms and then sometimes it gets 200ms plus for some reason.

Good to hear - have you fine tuned QoS to ensure it's not caused by local congestion?
