neekilla Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hey, Anyone else get this? I'm in the UK and every time I connect to a game on Advanced Warfare it always picks a west coast or middle US host using my ping assist. If I block that host it just chooses another host in the US and If I set the ping assist to zero I can't get in a game. So its US host or no game it seems? I have played about with the ping assist and blocked numerous hosts but it don't seem to solve it. I probably should have said the games tend to be really laggy...and lag spike on host Err any ideas.

Urge Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 HI nee, what is your ping assist set to and the size of your geo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neekilla Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Normally set to 50ms and about 1400km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urge Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 With 50 ms ping assist you won't be connecting to the US, it's probably a wrongly labeled servers. The ping would twice that to connect over here. And i would think you'd be able to find rooms with a geo that size, for sure. A lot of the forum members are from the UK so i'm sure someone will by by your post shortly that may be able to help with geo and room settings for that area, soon.

lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hello buddy. What is your in game to that host when you connect to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neekilla Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I think normally about 25-30, I have a ping of about 19ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 And you are in UK that is defiantly a miss located HOST. The minimum ping that you would have to USA host its about 120 ms. Please post those info The server ID The ping Where you live For example 4b173a05b4ea5c61, 25ms, UK In this thread http://forum.netduma.com/topic/1723-cloud-incorrect-locations/ so that someone wform duma crew can have a look at them and move the to to right location.

lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 and one more thing..... Make sure you are using the latest cloud version.... Chose Auto Cloud and Bleeding edge and then click apply so that you use the most up to day locations of hosts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neekilla Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Cool, ok, thanks for your help, I have auto cloud and bleeding edge already applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_smooch Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 wow 1400km sounds like quite far! I think i picked my locale in the uk and then pressed the auto snap button once and it came out at 628km covers all the uk and some of europe and i have no probs getting games. i have strict mode unticked and autoping ticked and ping assist set to 50ms.

lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sir smooch is there a reason you dont use Strict Mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_smooch Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sir smooch is there a reason you dont use Strict Mode? i was just trying something different tbh. i had on strict mode before with my geo just about covering the uk with ping assist @ 30ms but for some reason i kept pulling the same dedicated server in the far south of the country and although the ping seemed ok after my first game being quite crisp the rest was feeling a little off. so then i tried moving my geo so that host was outside geo filter but it seemed to keep choosing it still! funnily enough i even changed the game to cod ghosts and it was still showing that same srver and choosing it lol so tiggled around with the settings some after reading some different threads here but couldn't get hardly any games so factory reset the duma and followed the fine tuning guide again but left strict mode off this time and see what happens lol.

lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sure buddy. Remember that every single time you connect to a host you have to wait at lest 2 min bo be able to connect to different one. In that case when you apply some changes to you geo filter. Please see the link below. http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=gf_anti_cheat Now if you want to avoid some dedi here is how i do it. I play AW and that game plays only on dedis and like you i live in UK now in UK we only have one dedi which is that south one. To be able to do that you have to exclude it for you search as well as keeping strict on and ping assist to 0. And again keep in mid that 2 min we spoke about above. Now this is my sweet spot for games when the UK dedi dosent play well on AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2015 Good advice so far that should get you sorted, I'd just do PA 0, strict off, distance at least 1000km I'd say though you can play around with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better than having just uk solely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukasz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I sad thats my number 2 option when i wana exclude that uk dedi that plays bad. If that happens then i move my home location in there. It was example how you can avoid dedis in AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Innocence Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I am exactly the same mate, instead of Pissing about I gave up, so just minimize the geo snap once and set ping assist to 50ms, shut the netduma dashboard and it plays amazing, I have the anti flood on reactive and sliders both at 60%.

poseidon Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi, just thought i'd share. I live in EU with geo set to europe, strict mode enabled, PA 60ms and I also get connected to USA hosts. But this is if and only if I have Bleeding edge cloud ticked.If I untick bleeding edge cloud then after a while i get only host within the geo filter in Europe again.

That would be PA picking them up, they're just incorrectly located Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
