It use to reset the ping heat map polygon mode I had made but it’s fixed now but now I’m having a issue where I draw the polygon only around servers that are 20-35ish ping and it shows on the duma UI that I’m getting 20-35ish ping lobby but in call of duty Cold War in the ping meter I’m getting 50ish ping .why is this happening ? Plus it lags while playing .sometimes I showed the ping meter in COD Cold War 35ish ping meter but most times is 50ish ping meter and it’s a mess .please help I tried factory reset both router and modem with no luck .

The in game ping includes things like processing delay - all games have it. The ping shown on the Geo-Filter is the ping direct to the server which is what you can control. The difference in ping there is about right. If you're not having a good experience then try to force a different server instead and see if it plays better.
- egwokJul 27, 2021TutorI’ve tried using different servers that are low ping it’s the same no matter what and I don’t have QOS enabled cause although me and my wife alone have a lot devices like iPad iPhone laptops.ect ... we are the only ones who live in my apartment and I pay for 300mbps d/L and 35 U/L .do u think I should use QOS? I send a pic of my ping heat map for COD COLDWAR also how I have my GEO filter setup
