Gunnerstorm Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I set my pa to 40ms but it keeps attaching me to players with 100 to 150ms ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 PA doesn't Ping limit, if they are in your geo-filter range. You could make your range 0 and then PA i suppose would be PA limit... But PA is to find servers outside your range that are under your PA limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnerstorm Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 So pa only finds servers and not players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It will find servers and player host at and below the ping rate you set , so say if you set it to 30ms and there is a server or host outside of your set geo range it would still match up you to it/him.

Zennon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Show us a screen shot of your geo-filter if you could so we can make sure all the settings are correct including your xbox / ps4 select service tab , thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Buds beat me to it. A circle with a dotted line is one that ping assist found. If the circle is small it looks like a radiation symbol. Unintended coolness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vileself Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 To be clear on this if I were to set my geo-filter to 0 and my Ping Assist to 25ms it would only allow me to connect to hosts that have a maximum of 25ms? If that's the case then wouldn't that be the ideal way to search for matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good observation vile, it is correct theoretically. Only problem is its very difficult to catch PA host that's why it's called assist because it assists the geo-filter. You can give it a go but I don't recommend it. Sorry been away all day on business meetings I'll send you patch tomorrow if you're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vileself Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 So last night I decided to try what I wrote in my previous post. I shrunk my Geo-Filter as small as I could. Turned Strict-Mode Off. Set my Ping Assist to 25ms. I played for about 1.5hrs and only had one game below 2 k/d. Didn't rage at all. It was by far the smoothest gaming session I have on Advanced Warfare since release. There was one point where it was having a hard time finding me a lobby so I raised my PA to 30ms and I was back in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Why is leaving strict selected causing so many problems? I have it selected as well but seeing this post I'm thinking of trying some matchmaking without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Buck, Glad to hear ping assist is doing a good job! Vile, I'm going to start patching the routers to have a host ID. You can then send me IDs you like & I'll see if the cloud can be optimised further. I've updated Viles so he will let me know the ones he likes and we'll see if we can make a big difference for Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I tried the same thing last night, put my location in the ocean with the geofilter set as small as possible. Set ping assist to 21ms and got into a game pretty quickly. Connection was smooth but I'm not sure if it was because the server was good or because nobody was online at the time.

BENORMOUS Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll give that a try mate,all though over the wknd I've not seen any many dedi servers a lot of player hosts which i personally prefer,think the servers are nasty on AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when I try to avoid dedicated servers I have to search for an hour to find a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anybloodyname Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah id like a host id to be available, I played at the weekend and kept getting connected to the same dodgy host in London, i moved my home location though and eventually found another host, the difference was insane, I find the game always seems to want me to connect to these same dedicated servers, i kept getting booted from lobbies when i decreased the geo filter and when i increased the geo filter it connected me back to the same laggy dedicated server. i might try the options some of you have listed i.e. use ping assist to find my games and put the geo filter in the ocean. Im convinced now that its actaully some of the dedicated servers that are the main issue with me, it was showing me as 3 bars on some games and everything was playing fine, then on a 5 bar it was dodgey when connected to the server in london!

ltr7 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I was using one of the dedicated servers on the east coast because most of the hosts near me have way more ping, but it has gotten laggy in the last few days. the best ping I have ever had to any host is 80ms, Why is that? I have good ping test results, but all deds are at least 80-150ms, and p2p is worse. I live in the north west U.S. any suggestions on settings? Running cable 64mps up 5mps down.
