Assigned Server issues
Hello Everyone, How are you? I hope I find someone who knows anything about this issue that I've been facing for past 2 years now, Since I stopped playing apex regularly. I live in Ct and my closest server is New york, I have zero idea what changed, but I stopped getting connected to new york server, which increased my ping from 20-25 to straight in 60s now, I tried to look for a solution back then but was in vain, so I stopped playing. But I want to get back into it and concerned that I am going to get into same issue again. Now that they don't allow to get connected to certain servers instead Regions, it will be worse for me. I did play a few games, but i am still getting 60-70 ping and it leaves me at disadvantage. So, if anybody knows anything about this or has faced similar issue and found a solution to it, please help me out. Thanks, and Happy holidays.eeffoo00753 minutes agoRising Newcomer3Views0likes0Comments- jfoxz4 hours agoNewcomer631Views8likes13Comments

Hello, I am creating this report to detail a severe performance regression introduced with the Season 27 update. My game has gone from running perfectly to being nearly unplayable due to massive FPS drops. I attached a video explain the problem. The Problem: Before Season 27: Stable 144 FPS in all scenarios. After Season 27: Before jump from plane: 30-40 FPS In-Game Fights: 80-90 FPS with stutters Key Finding: Monitoring shows a severe CPU bottleneck. My CPU usage is consistently at 80-100% while my GPU usage is significantly lower (around 30-50%). This imbalance is the direct cause of the FPS drops and did not exist before the update. My System Specifications: Operating System: Windows 10 Pro CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F GPU: [Your Exact GPU Model, e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti] RAM: 16 GB Storage: SSD GPU Driver Version: 552.44 Exhaustive Troubleshooting Performed: I have performed every conceivable troubleshooting step to rule out my own hardware and software. This includes: Complete Game Reinstalls: Tried on both Steam and the EA App with no difference. Clean GPU Driver Installation: Used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to perform a clean install of the latest NVIDIA drivers. BIOS Update: Updated my motherboard BIOS to the latest version. In-Game Settings: Tested every possible setting combination from all Low to my original competitive settings. Windows and NVIDIA Optimizations: Adjusted power plans, NVIDIA Control Panel settings, disabled full-screen optimizations, etc. Cache Clearing: Cleared NVIDIA shader cache and the in-game shader cache. Background Processes: Ensured no conflicting background applications were running. Network Diagnostics: (My previously high ping issue resolved itself, confirming server-side problems). Conclusion: The fact that this issue: Started exactly with the Season 27 update. Persists across different game clients (Steam and EA App). Survives a complete driver and OS-level cleansing (DDU). Manifests as a new, severe CPU bottleneck... ...proves conclusively that this is a game-side optimization bug introduced in Season 27. I urge the development team to investigate the increased CPU overhead in the game's engine. This is not an isolated incident but a widespread problem affecting many players with similar hardware. Thank you for your time and attention.SolvedJoK7eR08 hours agoNew Traveler3.6KViews9likes59CommentsApex Legends - unable to connect to EA servers (check ea.com/unable-to-connect)
Hello everyone, I'm having a pretty annoying issue with this game. I'm going to try to describe this as accurately as possible. I've only been able to play one match to the end (my very first one!) and that was around a couple of weeks after the game's release. Since then i've tried to play but these were the results: freezing then disconnecting while in the main menu freezing then disconnecting while in a match (within a couple of minutes of dropping) crashing to desktop without any error message while in a match (immediately after loading) Yesterday after updating the game, i tried again by just browsing the main menu for around a minute to replicate the first problem i described and sure enough i got the ea.com/unable-to-connect error. At this point i'd rather not try to go into a match only to disconnect as soon as the match starts. Here are something i've tried in the past: Updating drivers (at the moment i'm on 19.2.1 so not the latest) Clearing Origin Cache: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/ Repairing the game through Origin Following this advice: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Connection-to-server-timed-out/m-p/7503913/highlight/true#M2440 Changing my DNS server from automatic to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (Cloud Flare DNS) I vaguely remember uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but i could be wrong so if necessary i'll do it. I'm also providing my UOTrace Results and my DxDiag so hopefully those can be useful. Any ideas or experiences are appreciated xD Thanks in advance. TL:DR: When i log into the game and go to the main menu i crash with the ea.com/unable-to-connect error.Solved185KViews4likes28CommentsApex Sever forcing players to abandon games
We all are aware of the bug where we couldn't get in the game due to the anti cheat error code on 12/24/25. I had that issue for several hours and once I was finally able to play I go into a ranked game and played 3-4 games. on the last game however I was given that error (anti cheat something) and was kicked from the game, and given an abandon penalty (loss of RP and Timer). I dont much are about the RP since im just gonna gain it back. But I would like any time that racks up due to this bug to not effect me later... I know the 10min compounds and after a while I get banned for much longer. I don't typically leave games so I would like to keep the timer as low as possible.118Views1like0CommentsApex false ban
Would anyone be able to help me? I've just been banned on my pc apex account for "enhancing gameplay" even though i've never use any form of game enchantments. I've sent in an appeal but without any proof because i don't really know what evidence to use. Steam has been bugging out all day today and i tried to hop on apex earlier but it had an option to remote play and cast to my pc even though i only use one pc? I don't really know what to do so if anyone can give me tip, it would be most appreciated.77Views0likes1Comment5 shields

I’m experiencing a strange FPS drop in Apex Legends. When I stand near the edge of the map and face toward the inside of the map, my FPS drops significantly — even if the screen only shows a wall (from 200 down to around 100). However, when I face toward the outside of the map (toward the sky or ocean), the FPS stays high and stable, even with a wall in front of me. It feels like the game is still rendering the entire interior of the map behind the wall. In other words, it seems that occlusion culling (skipping hidden objects) or frustum culling (not rendering outside the camera view) isn’t working correctly. What’s even more confusing is that my GPU usage stays around 30–40% and my CPU around 50%, so both still have plenty of headroom — yet the FPS suddenly drops. This doesn’t look like a hardware bottleneck, but rather an issue with how the rendering load or draw calls are being managed. In older gameplay clips when I used to play with the FPS capped at 144, it was completely stable and never dropped below that. Something may have changed in the game or driver settings since then, causing this different behavior. For reference, all in-game graphics settings are set to “Low.” My NVIDIA Control Panel is also fully optimized for performance (Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance, Low latency mode: On, Shader cache: 10 GB, etc.). System: RTX 3070 / i7-11700 / 240Hz monitor / G-SYNC On / FPS cap 200 Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Or is there any known way to limit draw distance behind walls or force proper occlusion culling in this game?sabuu___92 days agoNewcomer36Views0likes1CommentHuge fps drops
So I wasnt playing apex for like a year and before everything was smooth, im playing on lowest graphs because i like it that way and i was getting consistent 180 frames, but yesterday i downloaded it again and despite still getting the same 180 frames on same settings sometimes like 7-9 times per game my fps drops to like 10-18 and stays that way for a good couple of seconds very laggy, thats never happened to me, I've tried downloading DDU and reinstalling my drivers and changing settings and it didnt work for me. Im on 32gb ram ryzen 7 5800x and gtx 1070, could someone please help me figure it out so i can play the game please?HIKIRaysen2 days agoRising Newcomer12Views0likes0Comments
