It's def the servers on my end. I've played in other countries where I have 200+ ping & a few months ago there were no issues. Past few days I can play on a server with 60ish ping & I'm getting little glitches here & there messinng up my shots. If I try playing in another country now it's even worse. I'm almost curious how it would run if I was wired. But I have a feeling I'd still have issues.
@Lord_Scorpion34Yeah what E9 said. Go to options and find performance display. Turn it on and it will give actual numbers instead of the icons. I can almost bet you'll notice packet loss counting up with the speed up stuff happens.
Yes, it's well established that Respawn had comparitively awful servers.
One thing Respawn at least does is let you know whether the problem is on your end or theirs. You don't have to wonder, or if you are wondering, look up what the red symbols mean when they appear as they appear when you lag out.
So much rubber-banding tho. I can only think this is what you get when EA min maxes their server loads with some idiot made agenda for cost versus money raking. Battle Royal games mostly suffer from this incest level intelligence, you don't notice it, however, in the top tier game of Fortnite because they are so flush with cash they don't even care to just take on as many servers as they need. Warzone is just well run, and it always has been, so that's another exception rather than the rule.
Apex isn't as bad as a dead game either. But I think 'Competitive' gaming is just marketing for suckers. All games and game modes of pvp are competitive, but there's supposed to be some 'special' mode where you take the game 'more seriously' and that's the way of every commercial video game product released now adays.
Pure bunk.
If you want real competition mode, you get on a pro-circuit. And otherwise, you put up with dog trash servers for most games. Or you just go play Fortnite and Warzone. Truthfully, for connectivity, if that is your biggest concern they are way better, and probably always will be. But Apex does have certain things going for it. just not servers.
@hayhor Well, you know, everybody's situation is different too. TBH I won't defend Warzone too much, but I also want to say they punch over their weight as a game. And, I think it's pretty clear from volume of complaints that Apex has bad servers. Also, again, Apex does give you a good idea of when it is them, and when it is you. Warzone doesn't.
Obviously, with all its warts, I'm still playing Apex as my game of choice. I think Fortnite is okay, and does many, many things correctly. I approve of Warzone. But I play Apex, even though it has terrible servers and even though I will leave games without shame (YOU KNOW ME HAYHOR, YOU KNOW ME!) :D
