Developer Blog 1: The Future of DumaOS: Version 3.0
Last year we released our first major update for DumaOS, Milestone 1.3. You guys loved it, so we quickly got to work on the next milestone, packing it full of features to make your Nighthawk P...
I wanna report two bugs tho.
In device manager sometimes it doesn't see my Console pop up as active on the landline itd be stuck on offline when I'm literally have it turned on over a wired connection!
Geo-Filter keep putting me on a date center that's not in my Geo Filter area. It sometimes go out of my "Filtered" Area an connect me to a server I dont wanna be one. Sense I'm literally an hour from seattle. Which is a big hub for gaming data servers its keeps rooting me to the ones in Oregon & Los Anglas when that's not in my Filter Area. Definitely something that needs to be fixed In this 3.0 update!
Added features I'd like is a force host mode. Where in curtain games that do Peer to Peer aka Call of Duty. Itd be awesome where I could tell my router to make me host the lobby everytime. So pretty much it start out as myself in the lobby aka that means imma host it. Than its connect players to my end instead of me being on there end.
Another feature I'd like is to be able to have a option to have geo Filter find me players close to my state like it search for players in Washington to my region in the country if you know what I mean by this. It crap that I keep getting players outside where there ping is like 60-100ms an there connect is so bad that my shots don't register on em because there internet sucks. Pretty much a feature itd find me players near me like in Filter mode but a Advanced Version of the Search Radius. That you can toggle.
Another great one is where I can set my Ping-Assist lower than 30. That would be a GAMECHANGER. Sense where I live I'm an hour from the biggest Game Server hub which is seattle! Please add this in 3.0 where i can set the ping assist Lower than 30ms! It's great to have it search me for 30ms games. But I like to go lower than 30.

The Geo-Filter does get you the closest server currently, you may be experiencing issues with mislocated servers but we'll be doing a cloud update soon to resolve this so you may find that improves then. The Device Manager issue we are aware of so that will be fixed. Not sure I understand the Geo-Filter issue, this may be Ping Assist connecting you to games outside your radius. You won't be able to force yourself to be host - this would also be considered cheating. You can only force the server you connect to not the players, you can't influence other peoples connections. You can set the Ping Assist to lower than 30 but depending on your location, base ping etc you may not get a game under this.
- How is force host cheating! Me always being the host of the games makes my ping lower. So I just dont know how its cheating when I'm making my latency even lower because I'm the host of the game!
Another thing Ping Assist doesn't work on PC for Modern Warfare. Just went to a lobby today an I have it set to 30ms with no fast search an i got into a lobby with 70ms with Filtered mode on. At a 311 Radius. Sense seattle is my closest server. That need a fix as well if that can be done with this update. I never use fast search unless I'm playing a old game like Advanced Warfare. I have it toggled off for Modern Warfare. So I wanted to notify you that. I know there's a COD server in Seattle which I'm a hour away from.- Forcing yourself to be host gives you an advantage over everyone else, it's also not possible to do as it's primarily a server based game anyway. Did you set Ping Assist prior to loading up the game or while you were on the game? If you do it while the console is off and then try does it work correctly?
- The advantage for a force host option is lower ping means your shots register before his does that's a good advantage. Why should my KD or Overall stats suffer because they cant afford good speeds or have a good internet setup. Like I pay for equipment to get my ping as low as possible so I can have a edge against players. Force host is not cheating in my book an should be a future feature for DumaOS to all P2P games like Call of Duty. COD Matchmaking isnt the best anyways. All itd do is always make you the host of the game which would = best ping in the lobby because you be the one hosting the game. which is a great advantage an definitely ain't cheating because your trying to accomplish a faster connection & responsiveness Ingame. I personally dont like losing to someone with high ping or a bad network setup. Its hella unfair & frustrating.
Not trying to bash people with this but if your internet cant handle a game like COD which every lobby is competitive anyways. Do not play the game. Because I dont want to be the one dying from you because I cant hit you because your lagging so bad on my screen. Delt with this too many times on MW2 an MW3.
I hope you understand my point man & not trying to bash people but honestly Call of Duty is not for casual people anymore an its common sense to not try to play a game if your internet is not sufficient to handle it.
