Geolocation
(Note Picture is a photo of the servers i came accross when loading up the game ) Hello There so today i am wondering if when i setup geolocation for my ps4 if this will have an affect, so i p...
Hi there,
All understood. To force the host to be a certain location, you must be the party leader. Otherwise the game could choose a server location outside of your range which will mean you get booted from the game
Spectating Mode will completely disable the filtering - so if you have it in this mode you won't be able to filter out any servers.
I recommend you enable Filtering Mode and keep the Geo-Filter radius over the server region you want. Then boot up BO4.
Then try to make sure you are the party leader where possible. If not possible, switch back to spectating mode so you don't get booted out at the start of the game.
Good luck with the wagers!
Custom matches / private games run on a PtP (Peer to peer connection thus meaning that geolocation will be completely useless right? since whoever is lobby host is the connection we’re running off of, but there is cod servers I just don’t know if those have any use in custom matches since it’s peer to peer and idk why they would have multiplayer public matches dedicated and not custom games, that being said with peer to peer connections is there anything I can do to get the lowest ping
I could be wrong about this as I've personally not tested it, but I assumed that custom matches still used servers. But if they don't and it's just P2P, with player hosts, then you're correct. The Geo-Filter's Filtering Mode would not be able to force a different host.
