How can i change the region in my xbox app of win10 ?

  • Hey, i played a while the "beta" now of sea of thieves,
    and i had only laggs and i realised that my ping was over 150.
    I checked my network stats in the xbox app and it says that my NAT is district (probably cuz it needs port forwarding so i gonna do that later) and below it says: Ping 158MS.

    My ping is never above 20 and average it is 12 (i have a fast internet speed wired).

    I realised that the xbox app thinks that i am in USA servers, i tried a few test games and land up always in US servers (i asked people over voice chat and they said its a US server).

    So, how can i change that lol ? i am currently in germany ....

  • Port forwarding, I don't do that since 15 years ago, so medieval.

    Geez, can't they develope a PC game like all the others?

  • I am searching for hours for a solution.
    Seems like alot of people have this issue (i googled alot and read it).

    Well, if there is no solution, i am not able to buy and pre-order sea of thieves cuz my ping is over 100 and it also connects me to US servers :(.

    Please help me guys i charged today my paypal account to pre order this game ....

  • Sorry to say but i had to refund sea of thieves, i pre ordered today and i was feared that it wont run on EU servers.
    This could be such a good game, but i would say bye and rip :(.

    Sorry to hear. They keep bailing ...

  • Is there a way to contact moderators / admins on this forum ? so they could take a look on my topic here and maybe help me.

    I am ready to try everything to be able to run that game correctly :(.

  • @leloinost I will tag the @deckhands for you, but my ping was also 150 and the game worked fine. Normally, my ping is 20-50 in other games.

  • @el-espectro-0

    Oh really ? i didnt knew that, it showed me ping 158 and when i asked people in game they ALL said they were from USA. And having a ping of 158 can be only USA cuz when i play as example csgo or other games on US servers with my friends which are living in USA, my ping is there also exactly 158 :D.

    I checked now the network stats on 6 other computers and notebooks, and result was the same (Nat district etc.)
    I reinstalled win10 on 2 of my notebooks and also one of my computers and same issue still.

    I think i found the issue, its my modem, maybe cuz it uses a IPV6 connection or it rly needs port forwarding or any other setting.

  • I don't think they have region based matchmaking. I have met people from the other side of the world from me nearly every game.

    Your ping won't be lower if you port forward the reason your ping is high is because you are connecting to a server in the US. As I said I don't think there is region based matchmaking so in order to get a lower ping you just have to keep trying to re connect until you get an EU server.

    It's a bit annoying as the gun play at 150ms compared to 20-30ms is a huge difference and puts you at a complete disadvantage.

  • OMG I just misread the name of the thread and thought it said "How can I change my religeon...." LOL Sorry I cant help you with your query but I just found that mistake funny enough to mention.

  • @dielikekane I never use proxy but i tried what you said and that site shows me the correct country and also city :).

    @TimeIVPayback Is your ping also 150+ when you go to on your PC on start - settings - games - xbox network ? cuz even the xbox app self thinks i am in USA xD.

    If everyone has a high ping even under the game settings in win10, then this is normal then. But if not, then i have to change my modems settings. I gonna pre-order the game now after i refunded actually xD.

    Edit:

    @jockjammer1 hahaha.

  • Hello Sir, Germany here.

    My data looks like this:
    NAT type: open
    Server connection: connected
    Ping: 27 ms
    Packageloss: 0%
    Internet: 100mbit line with local provider


    Here what I had to do when I first installed the Xbox App on my PC (for Sea of Thieves):

    Nothing worked, my network didnt connect...and it ONLY happened with the xbox app, all other games, steam or even Origine from EA...all worked like a bee.

    After a long search, my router was my problem. Microsoft speaks Teredo and my router did not allow its usage (came with it turned off by default)...so I had to log into my router, I had to go under options there and had to "click" on allow Teredo....and then...tadaaa...everything worked.

    Hope I could help you.

  • @kustho

    I moved from USA to germany and btw i think your solution is 100% the FIX FOR ME THANKS !!!

    Is that "guide" also for fritzbox modems ? i never noticed fritzbox has a setting for teredo. So much thanks man so much ! i gonna try that tomorow cuz i get a new modem and a higher speed

  • i am currently in germany ....

    @kustho Yeah my german is well enough thanks so much :) this will definitely fix my problem tomorow.

    Awesome...welcome here...and if it doesnt work, we'll have another look into it.

  • @leloinost try also this: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/27541/keep-getting-disconnected/15

    It changed my NAT strict 150 ms to NAT moderate and 43 ms. I couldn't test if it works because the beta ended but hopefully it's a fix for our issue.

  • @kustho i followed your guide and it didn't worked, BUT in combination with the guide of @LoboFH it finally WORKED.

    Nat is open and there is nothing blocked anymore. FINALLY !!! my ping is still high but yeah seems to be normal. Everything else works like a charm.
