Servers / "Anti-Cheat"

Question

Both needs to be improved. The game is highly unplayable. Impact to gameplay, extremely high. Its pointless playing against people using nothing but aimbot or wall hacks, on servers that say its low ping, but lag out like crazy, as if the servers are hosted on the moon.

Usually for the ping issue, I connect to a distant data center, and even though its a higher ping, its way more manageable. But nope, with this new mode, no matter what server I try, its the same thing - everyone freezes on my screen the second I see them, and considering how I live through some of the freezes and even the fact that its counting my shots during the freezes, its a global thing happening to all players.

@Midnight9746&nbsp;Packet loss is unrelated to the ping itself as far I'm aware.Sure, the packets have a higher chance of being lost if they have to pass through a longer route, though typically not guaranteed.You are using Ethernet, correct?When using WiFi this would explain the exact problem, if you're using Ethernet, try contacting your ISP as this definitely has something to do with the route itself.I find it doubtful that the servers themselves would be causing the packet loss, probably not impossible but it might be better to make sure it's not caused by something else.

The server lag issue seems to be caused by players, because during the day and noon, there's no lag. But late afternoon and night, its impossible to play, and that's when players in my region are most likely to be on, and it wouldn't surprise me if they'e using new types of DDOSing cheats.

@Midnight9746 or it might be due to overbooking the servers. have you ever noticed the weird effect in past seasons that you start out with a 60ms ping at drop and go down to 30ms as you reach around 10th/9th rank ?

@r1ggedgame In the beginning of Apex, yes. But in recent seasons, no. The ping is constantly changing and likes to skyrocket for no real reason, while only showing lag when it's low ping. It makes no real sense.
