Re: High Ping to Bahrain Servers

Hello,
Im a player from The Middle east, and with the new update for Apex legends came Bahrain servers that i've been wishing for a long time because i've been playing at EU servers and my ping is always above 100+ even at fastest internet hours so i was very happy to see that.

But when i log into the game and queue a match there are practically no one else playing it is always showing "1/2/3 Players in Queue". I've tried going to the second Bahrain server but no luck, and apperantly i've seen some people that have played using the same server. so i ask is there a problem in general or is it just me? Because im sure theres a huge player base in the ME.

I play on the Xbox One. If i switch to other servers its normal.

    There isn’t enough player in the middle east plus they added 2 servers without showing how many players are active in each one which makes it hard to get a game going and if they want to increase the players count they need to release the cross platform so you wont have to wait 10-15 mins for a game

    The reality is they overkilled. They should’ve made only ONE server that would merge all Middle Eastern and see how it’d play out, and not split the “player base”’into 2 servers without us having an idea of the quantity of players in each server when logging in.

    Also the DUOS seem to have a problem, while TRIOS are matchmaking quickly. However that sucks, bcuz I like duos when im Solo Queueing.

    Third thing is RANKED. Once again, with 2 servers we dont have enough people on both, and matchmaking takes long enough that it mixes Predator Full Squads (actual rank of them this season) with Gold and Platinum players... whats the point? Its an easy massacre for them.

    Most of this could be solved simply if they merged both Bahrain servers into ONE FULL MIDDLE EASTERN server. 

    More people, better matchmaking, lobbies for all modes, and a fair Ranked with enough ppl on all categories/ranks.

  • I palys apex on PC , i have also this problem , this problem is because of less players in this server and in start it was atleast matching but late , now it stucks on 30 to 40 players it means that the remaining players are also leaving this server

  • There are only 2 ways to Fix this problem 

    1. Remove bahrin 2nd server

    2. Enable crossplay
