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. ...

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
- Readyplayer2Nov 12, 2024AspirantWell, 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?
- Readyplayer2Nov 12, 2024AspirantAlso 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.
- Readyplayer2Nov 12, 2024AspirantExcuse 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?
- Netduma-FraserNov 12, 2024NetDuma PartnerYou don't appear on the map so it will be the host/server just misclassified.
I'm fairly confident they did some updates that prevented the Geo-Filter working so I don't think it will always work. However, disable strict mode as that will help filtering - you may get games outside your radius but that's the best you can do I think.
Auto ping automatically pings the host/server to provide you with ping information, it just prevents you having to click the server manually to ping.
Also if you change options while you're already on the game it won't work very well at all, disable strict mode then start up the game and see if it is any better.
- crmontoy1Nov 18, 2024ApprenticeBro i play EA fc 25 and the game gonna kick u out if the server is out of the range… when i play cooperative before start the match kick me out for that reason i disable l the filtering mode because even if u wanna be inside the range the router let u join to servers outside mostly when ur not the partyleader and if u enable strict modes
