Discord and geofilter

Hey guys and gals.

 

First off this xr500 is the bees knees , my net is so much smoother now and dumaos is brill.

 

Unfortuantly ive come across a bit of an issue.

 

I had the geo filter set up for basically just europe whilst i game on my desktop pc , who ever when raiding on WOW the other day the discord channel started to mess up a little bit , so the owner changed the server to somewhere outside of europe and my geofilter kicked in and boom i couldnt connect. Took me a while to figure out why i couldnt connect but i eventuaslly got there.

 

Question is  , is the something i can do on duma that lets discord connect world wide and i can still have my geofilter in place for games ?

 

Regards

 

And thanks in advance !!

  • I'm glad you're liking your XR500!

     

    When the Discord server is moved, does an icon appear on the Geo-Filter in another part of the world? This is likely the server you're now connected to, which can be clicked on and whitelisted if Auto Ping Host is deselected.

     

    I can also do an update from my end to make sure Discord works correctly. The router updates its cloud information daily, and from my end I can set servers as permanently whitelisted. I will do a little research into which servers Dicord uses and i'll whitelist them.

      Hi ,

       

      Ive tried moving servers whilst watching the geofilter screen and i dont see anything new pop up for me to click , auto ping is off .Its definatly the reason i cant connect as i connected to US central discord server and my distance was basically europe , once i expanded to included the states discord then connected .

       

      Thanks

        I'm doing a cloud update soon, should be today, which will whitelist all of the Discord voice servers. Hopefully this will fix your problem!
