Correct me if I'm wrong, but I never had the Ping Heatmap pinned to my dashboard.

@Zirkawn What is your average ping shown by the Geo-Filter?

@Jakosaur how long was the uptime you had previously? There will be a new firmware soon that should be more stable.

@alongcory unless you added it manually then it won't have been there by default.

Re: Issue reporting thread - POST NEW ISSUES HERE (V 2.63 running DumaOS 3.0.139)

Hello folks, I have been running the latest beta build for about a week and has been working pretty solid and much better than the previous build so I appreciate the effort and hard work that you guys have been putting in to get Dumaos 3.0 ready for prime time and to be released to the masses.

The only issue I have ran into and it's a pretty big one for me. I can no longer join my friends when playing online. I play on PC and have only been playing CoD Modern Warfare for the past couple of months, but ever since I started testing the beta builds, I haven't been able to join my friends which is a bummer.

Before the beta, I would switch from filtering to spectating mode on the Geofilter options, so that I could play with my friends as adding them to the "allowed list" would kick me out of the games sometimes, so this wasn't a big deal. But after uploading the beta build into the XR500 it's almost like the router is always stuck in filtering mode and I can no longer join anyone, even if I switch to Spectating mode. Any thoughts or suggestions that I could try to fix the problem?

Thank you once again for working with the community so that we can all have an awesome experience once Dumaos 3.0 is released and looking forward to hearing from you. All the best!

Thanks for the feedback @Holagringo when you have it in spectating mode and you try to join a friend or vice versa does anything appear as blocked on the map? Do you have an Open NAT?

Re: Issue reporting thread - POST NEW ISSUES HERE (V 2.63 running DumaOS 3.0.139)

I do have an open nat and yes, when I have it on spectating mode, my friends icons appear on the map in yellow which according to the description on the geofilter page description means that they are "blocked players".

The funny thing is I have never blocked any players and this doesn't change whether I have the slider set to filtering or spectating mode. I went as far as to restart the router and the game several times and eventually after trying for about 10 times (on spectating mode) I was finally able to join one of my friends which was in a party of 5, but as soon as the match ended I was kicked out and was never able to join them again unfortunately.

I will gladly try anything you would like to test so please feel free to let me know. Thx!

@Netduma-Fraser That was never my issue. After updating my firmware the Ping Heatmap feature does not work entirely. Pinning or unpinning it to my dashboard does nothing. Please let me know what you think could resolve this issue?

 

ORGIGINAL POST:

"Ever since I updated the firmware to the latest version I have been getting the following issue with the Ping Heatmap. When I installed the new firmware I reset the XR500 to factory defaults. I'm still not able to use the feature.

@Raf1212 you're having the same issue in Spectating Mode?

@alongcory in System Information in the Rapp panel options change number of retries to 5 and reboot the router, does it load properly then? Also can you flush the cloud on the Geo-Filter without error?

@Holagringo remove the device from the Geo-Filter then go to device manager and give the device a PlayStation device type. Go back and add the device to the Geo-Filter, does it work correctly then?

@Zirkawn what are your Ping Under Load results in Connection Benchmark?

Use Congestion Control with Always and try different percentages until you can get your Ping Under Load results down as there is definitely room for improvement there.

Re: Issue reporting thread - POST NEW ISSUES HERE (V 2.63 running DumaOS 3.0.139)

Thank you very much for the information provided! I did exactly as per your instructions and everything worked perfect in spectating mode; I was able to play a couple of matches with my friends and didn't have any disconnects.

One really important factor that I wanted to point out in case this helps someone else. As soon as I started playing in spectating mode, the hit registration and the overall smoothness and feeling of the game became so much better. It's almost like I'm playing a different game, so needless to say I will not be using the filtering mode any longer.

When I was playing on Xbox One the filtered mode worked pretty good, but now that I play on PC, the spectating mode works much, much better. Thanks again for the words of wisdom Mr. Fraser 😉

@Netduma-Fraser I think the uptime was over a week, as I hadn't rebooted it that week. We just experienced it again, so the uptime this time was the gap between my two messages. Couldn't load Web UI, Twitch stream carried on as usual, Tweetdeck loaded text content of tweets (no images or videos came through) & every website just failed to load. Very odd 😅

Thanks for the information, we have a new build being tested right now and so should hopefully be available very soon. Should be a lot more stable for everyone.

Does it show the ping if you manually ping it? We will have a new build very soon that should be more stable so see if it is still an issue.
