Re: Error: Connection to server timed out (PC)

I've had this issue since day one, there's no sure fix, the servers are * and it's not going to be patched until a long long time passes.

It's a good game, but this mess can't be undone in a month, or two or three. What you can do, as I have, is to open the ports listed and isolate your connection to your gaming PC exclusively and only to the game. If there's a cellphone on the WiFi, it can drop you out of the game. If there's ANYONE else doing anything on the same ethernet it will drop you out. Even then, there's a high chance it will desync and drop you anyways. So keep launching the game in afk mode until you get a stable match and play it until it finishes or drops you mid game, it's the only way to enjoy Apex at the moment.

  • Informative video, shame to see apex's backend is that bad. This game should have definitely released as a beta version, as that's pretty much what it is at this point. Regardless, thanks for the help!
