@tremm0r Does this happen in non-ranked games? Have you tried other data centers?
Removing the penalty will result in abuse, people abandoning the game and that will make people even more complaining. I rarely have connection issues, so it can't really be Apex. There's a lot going on between server and client (like your internet provider) and that's not in Respawns/EA hands. Plus the penalty for DC will prevent abuse, which has been a big problem in Ranked for a long time.
On the other hand, hackers might have turned to DDOSing the match if they feel they are going to lose the match as a result of this, causing DC. They are still active, you know.
@WolferatoYes this has been happening to me everywhere... when i first started to play i was in new hampshire ...ranked and unranked..... and when i moved to dubai last year .. the same problem kept happening......i tried switching servers low ping to high ping.
My internet and provider are tier 1 with 500mb/s ....running netstat shows 15 hops <10 ms
The problem is ea's not mine...cause its not just me ..its everyone.
As for the penalty.....its ea's responsibility to figure out whos leaving the match on purpose vs whos gettong disconnected due to their weak game development
@tremm0r The speed overall is not in question, but priority. Different continents have different priorities.
Let me explain: while the speed is fine, there are a lot of users doing different things on the internet. The ISP must prioritize who gets what first. I could imagine that ISP's don't place gaming servers at a higher priority then for example certain other media's (video downloads, which take a lot of bandwidth), especially if it comes to the price of maintenance (big spenders come first). So while others get their data first, you're left to wait until your data gets to you. This might be counted in seconds, but just too long and the the connection timeout kicks in (ingame timeout, not internet or modem itself).
These policies are not appearant to the common user so when people are affected, they're unaware of the reasons.
have you read what i wrote or are you just blabbering to sound smart?
i said while i was livingin the united stated hooked to a u.s server i was getting disconnected . this doesnt happen in any other game but apex
