Simple question about GeoFilter
Hello team,
I'm new to this (I got my XR500 this morning) and I'm trying to understand how Geofiltering works. I'm from Spain and im interested in playing warzone 2.0 only in my country.
Everything appears to be properly configured. I've set the circle in my country (Spain), added my PS5 with call of duty profile, enabled filtering mode, enabled strict mode, no ping assist, and I'm actually seeing the server icon poppin in the map from time to time. My questions:
- Dedicated server icon popping in the map and suddenly disappearing, Is it normal? Does it have to do with server availability in real time? or is my router dropping connection to that server?
- Most importantly, how come with my current configuration my lobby is still searching for games with <28ms.....<46ms.... and eventually connecting to a game if my average ping to this server is just 5ms? Shouldn't it stick to "searching game <12 ms" till it enters the game?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards

- Yes that is normal, however, the Spanish server doesn't always seem to be available which is why you're having trouble connecting to it. It would be best to expand your radius to cover a few more servers that you'll still have a good connection to and if the Spanish server does become available then you have a chance to connect to it.
Hello Fraser,
Thanks for your fast response. What I find strange though is that being in strict mode and limiting radius to my country, my lobby keeps searching for games with 28ms, 46ms and so on till it finds and enters the game. Like I said, my average ping to that server is 5ms. Is it normal or am i doing something wrong?
- When you find a game when that happens is it a server within your radius?
