Geo-Filter Problem

I just purchased an XR450. I followed the setup. Upon testing the geo- filtering. It seems like it doesn't do what it's suppose to. I used ping heatmap to determine which server I wanna qeueu. I tried drawing around that server and even set distance mode but nothing changes. It always takes me to the same server with the same ping. Can anyone help me?

So what it does is just take me to the closest server to me / lowest ping. It's like an anti-Geo-Filter. Lol. Please help

Remove the Device from the Geo-Filter, then in the Device Manager give the PC a PlayStation device type. Then re-add it to the Geo-Filter and select the manual option. I would also recommend you widen the radius to allow more servers. Once you've done that wait 2 minutes then boot up the game and search.

I got stuck in fetching online profile when I did this. I wasn't able to connect to the game.

Re: Geo-Filter Problem

How wide is your radius now? Have you rebooted the game since making these changes?
