My conclusion is this, using the GEO filter to guarantee you the best connection just does not work well with this game because players far away with a worse PING can still connect to that same server/host (possibly because of skill-based matchmaking, not location based). I have everything set up properly according to all the research I've done. anti-bufferbloat set (although my bandwidth is NEVER stressed).In game, I ping to the nearest dedicated server in NJ between 3-6 MS (!).I wanted to share with everyone my experience playing WW2 with the XR.
