Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Geo Filter

Hi,    I live in a region without Dedicated Servers for Black Ops 4, and frequently used the Geo-filter function previously in CoD WWII successfully.    I've run into a big snag when it comes...

    Only thing that I can think of is max out your radius then see what server(s) you connect to, and add them to your allowed list. I say this because BO4 might not be running on the same servers as WWII or any other COD game.

      That's the irony - Back here ALL connections are peer to peer, there's no question of a dedicated server :(

       

      I really miss my sub 50 ms ping days of WWII.

      There are no servers in India as far as I am aware. The closest servers would be Saudi Arabia, Singapore or Russia. Try to get one of those and find out which gives you the lowest ping.

        Thanks, Fraser, but that's the thing, and maybe this is a benefit of the Geo-filter that isn't touted enough, but the Filter works even when one needs to find a peer-Host for a game (without a Dedicated Server)! Worked brilliantly for CoD WWII.

         

        I guess we're just going to have to pray that this is a bug with the game and that Treyarch fixes it soon. Any help in the meantime would be great.
