lag everytime i get into a fight

so many gunfights on the drop are laggy, stuttering. ever since season 8 ive been getting these weird games that go upto 200 ping, 500 ping, 800 ping momentarily and feel like everything is really slow. one game it went to 2000 ping for a few seconds it. lag has just been unbearable in general. dropping frames in a gunfight makes it extremely hard to want to play the game as it feels like im not getting to play it the way it was made to be. im not being ungrateful im just making it known this is what im experiencing. this game could be and probably is the best game ive ever played. why has it been so hard to just get the game to run smooth? i seen that apex had made a billions dollars. all other games are running smooth that i play.. cod, fortnite, overwatch. please address this. i know alot of people are saying the same thing but if you want to be kept honest you are going to have to keep hearing the same thing. this is just the state of the game. its 2021z i was playing mw2 in 2011 with no lag.

  • @Xunsa Alot of us think people are doing ddos attacks on the servers because once a certain player/team dies the lag just magically goes away

    @TheApexLegendNub sometimes this happens to me as well. Just yesterday on drop, I killed 2, then another squad came in and it all started to lag so badly. One moment I was still up, then suddenly I have seen myself down with no in between on how it happened. My teammates managed to survive somehow, and once that squad was wiped, the lag went away.

    @TheApexLegendNub I actually noticed this a during matches where there was no lag or stuttering of any kind all game, but when we got close to a certain group of players (somewhere <6 groups left), the game started rubber banding like crazy all of the sudden.

    Then the fighting stopped, and the rubber banding stopped. We engaged the group that won the previous fight and the rubber banding started again.

    This happened on several occasions in game this season. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not.
  • This is happening to me as well. It makes this game so much less enjoy. Has anybody a solution?

  • @XunsaA buddy and I landed and I got punched from 15 feet away by an enemy ash, who then somehow shot a full mag into me within a single instant and downed me. They then chased my buddy and when his schmovin was good enough that they couldn't kill him, his game crashed. He's literally never had a game crash before. This was in ranked.

    Aside from the above issues, people also seem to move faster and wider than possible. If Apex is using the 'if x is happening then it will probably keep happening' netcode then the game is literally giving people will poor connection quality an inherent advantage. Tell me again why we can choose foreign servers? Tell me why I should be punished for having good internet?
