Xr1000 DumaOS 3.0 how do you know what server you connected to Destiny 2
So, I decided to try Geo-filtering on Destiny 2 again. I understand you can’t filter players. However, you should be able to filter servers. I put the radius around my servers that are closest to me. How do I know if I connect to one of them? I see a bunch of players pop up but how do I know if I’m connecting to the servers I circled?

- The biggest icon on the map will be the server, it should be within your radius, it will also trigger auto ping to ping the server
- Well, I’ve noticed a couple things. There will be a bunch of users that pop up everywhere.some with circles around them. A small square white icon that will pop up nowhere near me. It’s like in Pennsylvania whereas I’m in Oklahoma. I never see a larger server icon, but I do see a large user icon. I’m assuming that larger user icon is me?
- Also what is ping assist? I’m confused on what that actually is/does? I circle the two servers near me. They are in Texas. Then I turn on strict mode and auto ping off so I can click anything that may be blocked. Because I disconnect from matches before they start and I don’t know exactly what’s blocked. So I wait to see.
- Excuse I meant to ask what is auto ping? Because if it’s in I can’t allow or deny anything. But how does it help me or give me information?
You could check your ping or latency—lower ping usually means you're connecting to a closer server. Alternatively, use a network monitoring tool to trace the server IP and confirm if it's within your selected region. Destiny 2 doesn't make it super transparent, though.
- Well, problem is I play on Xbox. Is there a monitoring tool that will let me see the server from my PC while on Xbox? Because at the moment what I’m doing is drawing or circling the area I want to play in. I actually checked to see where the Destiny 2 servers are and then circled around one. Turn on Strict and Filtering and start the game. Then when I lock in, I turn it off. After the match I always restart the game to make sure it’s properly working. At least when I see the yellow triangles I assume it’s working.
- Not easily, the best way would be to just use the Geo-Filter for that purpose
