airwalker Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hello again, I had somebody from netduma remote to my PC and check my settings, I upgraded to the latest firmware and the engineer changed my home location BUT I am still connecting to this terrible dedicated host. Is there nothing that can be done to avoid it? EverytimeI get a game connected to this server I am lagging way behind the opposing team.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 From the distance shown in that screen shot you're probably connecting to it via ping assist so makes sure ping assist is at 0 and strict mode is enabled.

airwalker Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have peer ping unchecked, ping assist set to zero and strict mode enabled... I have moved my location into europe, should I remove my allowed hosts that I have given a good rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a screen shot of your GeoFilter page which shows this host and also a screen shot of the very top of your GeoFilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 That just shows the traceroute. Can you show the actual host on the GeoFilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 When you connect to it it should appear as a circle on the GeoFilter. Just screen shot it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 If you don't want to connect to that circle within your GeoFilter you need to move your home location so that it isn't in your GeoFilter radius.

That's what I've done, but no matter where I move my home location sooner or later I can connected to that dedicated server that is somewhere in or near the south east of the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwalker Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Can you take a screen shot when you connect to it and it is outside of your GeoFilter it always comes up on my host descriptor, see the screen shot I posted earlier.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 it always comes up on my host descriptor, see the screen shot I posted earlier. Thanks I think you need to zoom out as it is probs on west cost of US or something if it is at that distance. Are you sure ping assist is disabled, the GeoFilter is enabled and you've waited 2-3mins for dormant hosts to clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure ping assist is disabled, the GeoFilter is enabled and you've waited 2-3mins for dormant hosts to clear? yeah its on the west coast when I do a trace, but the 1st point in the trace is somewhere in the south east uk, my trace screen shot shows it. PA is disabled, geo filter is enabled, (it says disable..so I assume that means it is enabled.) it would be sweet it I could avoid that dedi as it is nothing but horrendous lag for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does an actual circle show in the US? If it does can you screen shot that when you connect to it.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 2, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2015 It seemed like it was blocking the UK in our 1 on 1 yesterday. Are you referring to the trace route exclusively or do you actually see a host in the UK? The trace route is inaccurate, I wouldn't pay much attention to it. In fact we were thinking about removing the feature all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we were thinking about removing the feature all together Not really sure whats going on but I have rated the dedi with 1% and given it a handle: 'bad host' and 80% of the time that I get into a game that host comes up on the host descriptor, for example if I am connected to a good host, and then that host leaves it defaults to that bad host in the descriptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your need to press the 'update' button for the rating to be applied and on a dedi that button won't be there. Therefore the only way to avoid the server is to move your home location to it is not in the radius, enable strict mode and set ping assist to 0.

airwalker Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yes there is no update button but there is the rating slider. No matter where i move my location sooner or later that bad host handle appears on the host descriptior and when i ping it i get > 150ms and awful lag.

See my 1st screenshot Ok, but what matters is where the circle is appearing on the GeoFilter. If it is just the host descriptor box showing with no circle to correspond to on the GeoFilter then I think you can just ignore that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
