Hi, I am getting inconsistent lobbies with the geo-filter. I am connecting to lobbies outside my geo-filter intermittently and once it starts it doesn't stop until the next day. Is there a way to fix this? I am in Cali and my best friend is in Indiana. I am forcing the Cheyenne server in between us so we can try to ping similarly. It will work great for the first 4 games or so and then it will only connect to cali servers after that. The first 4 servers of the night say 44 or less ping in the search que and then it will drop to 21 or less after a few games and that is when I only get Cali servers. I thought that you couldn't connect to servers outside of your geo-filter? Any insight/guidance would be much appreciated.

Is geo latency turned off? Post a pic of the geo filter settings if you can.

It is on currently. Should it be off?

Geo latency off, strict mode on. That should prevent from connecting to outside servers.

Do this:

  1. Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important!
  2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter
  3. Give the PC the 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

To force servers you need to do the following:

It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client (e.g. Steam etc) if on PC or platform (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation) or the game have been launched. If you change Geo-Filter settings when you're on the game then you will need to restart the game for those changes to take effect, otherwise it will use the previous Geo-Filter settings and appear not to be working.

For settings ensure Ping Assist and Geo-Latency are disabled in the Geo-Filter menu that can be found by clicking ⋮ in the top right hand corner of the page and go to Settings.

Strict Mode should also be enabled, it is enabled by default so if you haven't disabled it you can ignore it. If you have disabled it or want to check it can be found in the same Settings menu as above or in Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options depending on your firmware version. Fast Search should also be disabled which it is by default so can be ignored if you haven't changed it, otherwise this can be found in the same place.
