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 w...
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.
I gave that a shot, it's still doing the same thing.
What game are you trying to filter exactly? Can you provide a screenshot of the Geo-Filter page showing it happening please?
- Im playing warzone on xbox series x. What it looks like with filtering mode on searching for a game. It doesn't even attempt to connect to the area selected. It tries to connect to CA servers, or TX servers ect. never to the area I've chosen. I'll send a picture in another response showing all the servers that pop up for warzone when I back out, turn off filtering and reload into the game.
- As you can see, the servers all pop up , even in the area I've selected to play in.
- Did you completely quit the game so you were back on the Xbox dashboard? I suspect you're not able to get a game because your area is so far away from your actual location that you're hitting a ping limit and it's preventing you getting a game
- Yes, I go to the dashboard, erase all the game data, restart the game, wait for it to load, before I hir search for a match, I enable the geofilter, I get exactly what you can see in the photos. I've connected to the servers I have selected many times, I play on UK servers every day with a friend who lives there hosting and they have way higher ping than the servers I've selected, so I can assure you it is not due to the ping being too high. I've played in Australia, their ping is way high, with no problems before. Does the ping assist setting have anything to do with it? I've had it at zero the entire time I've had this router but maybe something has changed? I don't know man, I'm running out of ideas.
- Another thing I forgot to mention is that I am constantly having to log into the router when I'm using the geofilter and or using any other rap that the router has to offer. I'm not sure if this is important information or not.

- I factory reset AGAIN, reinstalled firmware, set everything up, chose geo location to play in via polygon mode , turned on geo filter, turned on xbox, erased warzone saved data from console, started warzone, searched for a match and it worked this time. I've done it where I turn on geofilter after I log into WZ but before I search for a game, but, I'm not going to anymore, my blood pressure can't take it. Thank you for your patience and help!!!
