Hi there, just wanted to report that the following IP addresses are being incorrectly flagged as Afganistan (should be Denmark):
147.78.29.*
If it's okay, I'll use this thread to share other IP addresses as they come in. Let me know if there's a better place to do that. Thank you.
All locations are derived from the IP Address of the client device, using one of the industry-standard databases for IP-to-geo lookup. The issue with that is that IP Address blocks are bought and sold frequently, so there will always be some degree of error in the table of data. It is constantly being updated in order to help with this, but it will not be 100%.
@jules You might want to edit your post to remove the last 4 digits of the IPs, as that might be considered personally identifiable information.
We removed the last octet from your posted IP addresses because such information is considered PII, which should be hidden from public forums. Will you share your title id, some player ids that are flagged as the wrong country for us to investigate? Thanks.
Sorry about that, thanks for the heads up and editing out the PII. I wasn't aware. Also, thanks for your replies.
Our title ID is 9092 and player 6351E858FC455700 is being flagged as Afganistan when he is from Denmark. We have at least a few hundred users who are being incorrectly flagged as being in Afganistan.
To clarify, is it a waste of time or helpful for me to share IPs that have wrong IP-to-geo data?
