How to get lowest ping possible.

[DayDay]

Hey so i play out of Hawaii and some west servers give me 49 ping (which is preferable since I'm playing ranked play in sweaty lobbies) and some other west servers give 60-70 ping. How can i manipulate my settings to only get the servers that give me the lowest ping possible. I don't care about long queue times it’s worth it in the end. And i want the settings to be strict for that ping alone. Attached is what my layout and settings looks like for the geo filter.

You should disable Geo-Latency and then ensure you're only covering the servers that are giving you the lowest ping. If they're too close together to do so then as you play them add them to your deny list so you build up a list of denied servers and you will play on the lower ping servers more often. You can also try using Ping Assist setting the upper limit to ~55ms which may do better.

weird thing is when i disable geo latency it makes it to where i get a error message in call of duty and it wont allow me to get passed the main menu unfortunately.

This is what happens when geo-latency gets turned off.

Okay so there will be a server that appears blocked on the map when that happens - almost certainly in Ireland, if you allow it then it will let you through. You may need to do it a few times, i.e. each time you load the game but once you've got them all it'll work normally without Geo-Latency enabled. If you could also provide the ID of the server(s) it is then we can add it to the global whitelist.

That worked thank you so much. It was an ireland one like you said. Server ID was 1FD98CG

Great to hear that and thanks for the ID, I'll pass it on to the team!

Você deve desativar a Geo-Latência e garantir que está usando apenas os servidores que oferecem o menor ping. Se eles estiverem muito próximos uns dos outros, adicione-os à sua lista de bloqueio conforme for jogando, para criar uma lista de servidores bloqueados e jogar com mais frequência nos servidores de menor ping. Você também pode tentar usar o Ping Assist, definindo o limite superior para cerca de 55 ms, o que pode funcionar melhor. 

O que é geo latência por gentileza aqui no Brasil deve tá escrito de forma diferente.

Its like the normal filtering, servers inside your radius are allowed, outside are blocked but it just does it using a different approach. It can also help to prevent any cases where on games where the game ends and you can just stay in while it puts you into another sometimes you can get kicked to the lobby if it would be outside your radius usually but instead it would keep you in. So sometimes you can get games outside your radius if the game is persistent in wanting to put you in it.
