When I am playing Call of Duty and I set the Geo-Filter to Strict Mode and Filtering Mode it doesn't always block players or servers outside of my set filter range. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It used to work just fine before and I am not sure why now filtering mode does not always work. Looking for help on how to fix this.

Halo Master Chief Collection also does this. After a few games I realized I was being connected to th closest dedicated server and all the peer to peer connections I was seeing were players connected to the same server playing the game I was in.

I'll try that next time it happens. As I mentioned it does not do it all the time but it does do it frequently. Next time it gives me that problem I will close the game down completly, then set the geo filter and see if that works. It shouldn't have to be that way in order for it to work I don't believe. It never used to do that before when I first got it which was back in May. This problem started about a month or two ago.

thank you for that information. Will check to see what firmware I am running.

Can you include a screenshot of the entire Geo-filter page please when it doesn’t block outside your radius.

Sure. Included is a screenshot of a middle of a game I played where I had my options on "strict mode". In this particular game the server was within my radius but as you can see players outside of my radius were able to join. I've also had problems where I am connected to servers outside of my radius just as this players are in my game lobby when they should not have been able to.

    The Geo-Filter can't block other players from connecting to a host or server - that would be really unfair for anyone trying to join games, and isn't actually possible either.
    
    The aim of the Geo-Filter is to get you the best host / server possible. This will dramatically improve your ping and gameplay despite the connection quality of other players who join.
    
    I hope this helps!
