Multiple games matchmaking "messes up"?
I have noticed this issue in two separate games that I've played and while it could be just the games themselves the fact that both games have effectively the same problem happens makes me question i...
Can I get an official explanation for why the Geo-Filter is showing "peers" in random places like outside of Africa, one in Europe, and sometimes in South America?
That doesn't really make any sense and if it is just a random quirk in the router why hasn't it been fixed after all this time through an update?
IPs are bought and sold, one month it might belong to someone in Australia, the next month it could be in the US. IP databases will by the very nature not be 100% accurate. We have an IP database and just like all others it needs to be updated regularly, that being said, true peer IPs i.e. a person are more likely to be mislocated as we wouldn't necessarily have an accurate location for them. If you provide the IDs of those ones you've mentioned we can have a look at correcting them.
