Question with my XR500 & Possible 3.0 Update feature!
So ive been wondering if i can set my ping filter under 30ms. As i said i live near seattle which is the biggest gaming server hubs in the state where i live but, I dont know if its possible to set m...
You can set your Ping Assist lower than 30 but keep in mind that the lowest game ping you'll be able to get in most cases is your base ping (speed test ping with nothing using the internet) + 10-20ms. It may just be that those servers you got that were within that limit were not playing very well due to system load etc.
Ok becuase last time i set it to 25ms my ping jumped from what i orginally set 30ms to 50-80ms after i put it to 25ms because i was trying to see if i can get a 25ms server but instead it freaked out an put me on servers that are 50-80ms like my geo filter broke or something so i always had it set to 30ms becuase the system broke itself if i set my ping assist lower than 30ms.
- If you have fast search enabled it will bypass that to get you a game faster. Ping Assist pings the server and if it's under your limit initially then it will allow it even if it then gets higher after that. If you want to try and get lower pings try using the radius without Ping Assist to just force Seattle servers.
I do not fast "Fast search" Enabled. Its when i put my ping assist lower than 30. its like to brakes itself an puts me in matches that are not my desired ping of 25 or even 30 an the only way to fix that issue is putting my ping assist back to 30ms becuase without it. I wouldnt have my 30ms lobbys.
