cranium2001 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 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.

Reconnected Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 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?

cranium2001 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yes. I've been using this router for almost a year. I wanted to see how it reacted without. Like I said, it was pretty good and I expect a better experience with the Duma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretface Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranium2001 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Great. Thanks. I'll most likely mess with it tomorrow. Busy evening. Looking forward to trying it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urge Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 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.

It just gets frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II N3MES1S II Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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.

cranium2001 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 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.

cranium2001 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 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% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
