Net duma geo filter
About a week ago I noticed the server location for Microsofts dedicated ipv6 server for the western US is showing in Great Britain. I've also noticed that the ping heat map is not showing all of the warzone servers either. I've factory reset ect. and I'm pretty sure the issue is not on my end. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks!!!
You should ideally have the filter enabled before you boot the game. This is because the game client searches for servers on boot, if you have filtering mode disabled it will then think that all known servers are available to it when they won't be after enabling filtering mode.

- The authentication servers like that don't really matter where they're located as you will connect to them regardless but in response to both, resync the cloud on the Geo-Filter and the Ping Heatmap pages, click the ≡ icon on each panel to do so.
- I've tried that multiple times with no changes. I'm curious if it doesn't matter, why even have a map at all? Couldn't you just have a list of servers to check mark next to depending on the ping you're looking for? It would be a lot less frustrating for people who expect certain servers in certain locations to be there and when they're not and then spend countless hours trying to troubleshoot and fix an issue that as you say "doesn't matter". Trying to keep this router running as advertised is a full time job, I just want to hop on, select an area to play in and go, but, I end up spending more time trying to get the router set up over and over than I do actually utilizing its functions, and being told that the server location doesn't matter just adds to my frustration. I use to be able to draw a sqare around where I wanted to play, turn on the filter and go, that doesn't happen anymore, it's just a constant battle to get this router to work properly. I apologize for the rant, I'm just seriously getting tired of messing with this thing. I truly appreciate your help and thank you for your response.
- Servers like that are not game servers therefore it doesn't matter where they're located just that they are allowed, I'm not saying we won't correct it because we will but the important thing is that it has been allowed, if it wasn't then it would cause some issues. For game servers it does matter where they're located so that as you mentioned, you set your area and you get a low ping server that you expect to be there. What is actually happening, you're not getting games? We pushed another update today so give the router a reboot, wait 2 minutes then resync Ping Heatmap again and it should be working.
