Forced into Seattle?

Recommended Posts

No matter what I set my PA at and where I put my distance range, I still get shoved into Seattle all the time. I feel like I'm missing out on better games because of it.

 

I just used my duma for the first time on Black ops 3 last night because it's been pretty decent for me. My other router had an update which threw it into a tizzy so I just plugged the duma in expecting an even better experience. It's just average and when I get tossed I to Seattle (over 2000 miles away) it becomes less than desireable.

 

I'm looking for anyone who has rectified this situation or feels my pain. As most on here know I love and approve this unit but the hometown of Pearl Jam is piss in me off. I thought I had seen the last of it when I left AW behind.

I have the same issue, although because I live in South Dakota my ping times are not too bad. Between 50-60ms. When I first got my R1 I was connecting to the server in Kansas and that was real bad. I moved my Geo filter area farther east to get me out of Kansas and now every time I connect its to the dedicated server in Seattle.

I think the connection is pretty good for me. Maybe one out of every ten games I would call it laggy and that I can live with. I'm not sure what you can do to get out of the Seattle server. Do you have Strict Mode enabled?

ok so I made this a while ago http://forum.netduma.com/topic/9311-my-bo3-settings-that-work-xbox-one/

I also added deep packet shit to enabled or ticked or whatever. I also should be on after about 830 tonight, actually most nights. GT TheSirLagalot if you want to party up and go through some settings.

I'll catch up to you when I can. I appreciate the help and I'll run through it as soon as I can. Thanks again. B)

you may also want to check you ping to the server.  I get seattle occasionally and Kansas but a 15-18 ping to them, which is impossible due to my location.  There is a good chance they are mislocated and hopefully that will be fixed soon.

I've been fighting that demon for a while. I'm assuming it's connecting me to people 2000 miles the other way. It just gets frustrating. :(

I get Kansas always but in white/black list I can always update which would be not a server. Also I get 6ms ping to kansas sometimes which would be about 1000miles yea right, I just assumed they were mislocated thingy's

I played today the first time with stricked mode unticked and open the geo to the globe.

 

Only connected to seattle and I think kansas. 

 

The people we had in our lobby were from california, louisianna and other east coast areas.

 

Everyone was complaining about the connection except me, only a real bad lag spike would affect my game play.

 

We changed who hosted the lobby to test out where we would connect 3 different times.

 

I have to say no matter how great you think your connection is, if you don't know about bufferbloat then you will still lag.

 

Amazing butter smooth games I have had since tuning my netduma with dslreports and getting from F to A for bufferbloat

 

Another note. there were really no games with people from across the globe, mainly everyone in the game lobby was in america.

 

A couple canadians, I think one near africa and one in mexico.

 

The ping was always 30-50 except for some rare lobbies where it was over 100ms and all over the place.

I played last night with @OUHateMe and he ran the lobby. We were in KC all night and had 95% great games. I got on late so I didn't really mess with my settings too much but tried a quick game afterwards with my old settings and KC was it again. I was happy.

 

I'm hoping to mess around later with secretfaces suggestions and see what happens but for right now it might be solid. Thanks to all who have commented.

What setting are you running? Post them they could help someone.

If I remember correctly I set ping at 5, my home near Pittsburg, PA 85 up and down and 65% prioritized to my xbox one. I'd have to check when I get home to be 100%
