Enable Traffic Prioritization on Escape From Tarkov
Hi guys, I've just bought an XR1000 and I'm loving it so much. I've set up pretty much of the QoS as I want following the wizards. But I can't find guides/sources on how to prioritize games like ...
I've attached a screen with the most information I could gather, I hope it's enough.
I'm getting a lot of conflicting information online about what ports it uses but do 17000-17100 instead of 17025 and see if it works better please
Ok, just did it and still no luck.
As before, the port is within the range. I've tried with both rules enabled and then with the first disabled, still the same result.
- Can you try TCP 11007,31780 please?
Still the same, with Wireshark I can't find a single packet sent via TCP to the server I'm connected to, so I think those ports are useless during the game session.
- I think the trouble is the range is much bigger and the port will change everytime, it would probably be best to use the Games Console service instead and it will definitely be prioritized
How can I do it?
- The same way you've added a rule but instead of choosing advanced, stay on basic and you'll see a list of services
Didn't find any "game service", but "games console" only. After 2 hours of EFT, I'm sitting at 0 packets.
- That's the right one. Check the device on the Device Manager and make a note of the IP address, then check the IP on the PC itself in network settings, do they match?
Yes, of course!
- Hmm, they can't be the primary ports used then otherwise it would prioritize like the other games are for you. If you add your PC to the Geo-Filter (with PC set to PlayStation on Device Manager) does it show up servers when looking for a game?
Just tried, no server shown in Geo-Filter. But 2 days ago it was showing the server I was connected to.
Could you please remove the device from both Geo-filter and Traffic Prio, then go to the three-line menu in Geo-filter and click 'Flush Cloud'. Once that's done, go to the three-line menu in Device Manager and click 'Flush cloud'.
After that, go back to Geo-filter and re-add your PC, make sure you select 'Choose manually' when prompted to pick a service.
Similarly, remove your previous rules from Traffic Prio, then re-add one for your PC and select 'Games Console' as the service.
Test again after that and see if it helps.
Same result, now Geo-filter does not recognize League of Legends servers, but its traffic is being prioritized correctly by DumaOS Classified Games rule.
Recap:
- EFT traffic/server not recognized by Geo-filter and Traffic prio
- League of Legends traffic recognized by Traffic prio but not by Geo-filter
The screen attached is the Geo-filter tab while playing League, but it's the same with EFT.
Does the PC have a Wi-Fi adapter or any other interfaces? If so, can you please disable them to ensure that traffic is only going through the R2 and nowhere else.
No, the traffic is going though the ethernet interface because my PC doesn't have any other internet interface. Plus, I don't have an R2, but an XR1000.
Ok, your answer got me thinking. I went into Device Manager and I saw 2 devices with the same IP as my PC. I removed them and reassigned them the IP. Now the original prioritization rule works flawlessly with EFT.
- Great to hear that, thanks for the update/solution!
