Servers are a let down.

The game is great but my honest feedback about it is the servers are thing that is killing it. Your hit detection is the worst of the genre. The lag compensation is disgusting to the point it's pointless trying to do anything at all.

I don't care about aesthetics. I don't care about battle passes. The game needs to be server side stable. 

Ps...I swear to god, if I get a comment here regarding my connection from an EA forum bot I will report them for violating the T&C's of the forum

  • Yeah the game lag is horrible.... the other day i lit up a octane as he was running for a door, he literally ran in the door, closed it, then i got the elimination when he was completely in cover...lol. That's horrible... and that's only 1 situation happens all the time.

  • Battlenonsense (a youtuber that even DICE work with in order to improve their battlefield netcode/server issues) made a video comparing netcode and latency tests for Apex and a bunch of similar AAA FPS titles and Apex came out as the WORSE of them all (worse than pubg, worse than fortnite, worse than COD, worse than BF,etc.). The game essentially give a huge peeking and shooting advantage to laggers that can kill you (or at least SEVERELY damage you) before you can even react as they appear later on your screen and they can also kill you late after you hid behind cover.  Add to that how the servers can feel like they are on a DSL connection from the late 90s/early 2000s so you start rubber banding as you're launching yourself from the drop ship. I even have a clip of myself chucking an arc star ONTO somebody (it gets stuck into his/her arm) only for it to not deal any damage (no impact when it struck him/her nor any explosion damage whatsoever afterward when it blew up) and my fists completely phasing THROUGH my opponent as he punches me but none of my punches register... Great game. Definitly not rage inducing. 

  • I suspect i'm getting bumped to OS servers just so it can get me in a game.

    I'd prefer to wait until I can get a game with a decent ping to the server.
