MW4

Hi, it is normal when i try to force nearest server in cod for ex 10ms after searching couple seconds it bump ping in game to find worst server.  Even when strict mode on.

Any advice? Thanks.

Yes it will cycle up in increments if it is unable to find servers under that value, for it to find a game under 10 ms you would have to be very close to the server

I guess before it sits till find server without bumping ping up. Its geofilter update, mw4 or software? 

That was main geofilter feature, now r3 is useless?

Thank you

[Netduma Fraser]

It's very unlikely to find a game under that value, it's nothing to do with the router or game - it pings all the servers when you load up the game so it will know roughly what ping you're capable of achieving so if you're going to have 30ms ping at the very lowest its not going to waste time looking for games under 10ms for very long.

Thank you Fraser.

In BO7 it sits and same ping. That was netduma changes or Activision? 

[Netduma Fraser]

It wouldn't be anything to do with us

[Bart]

So basically Fraser netduma is useless now in cod?. Was best when sitting on selected server till filled with best ping.

 

Any workaround @Netduma Fraser ?

[Netduma Fraser]

No, just because you're unable to get a game below 10ms doesn't mean it's useless. It's very likely you can't get a game that low. Are you able to force the closest server to you that has the lowest ping out of all the servers around you?
