Community ManagerHey @Midnight9746 it sounds like you may be having issues with your connection. I would suggest taking a look at our Connection troubleshooting steps which you can find here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

Why must EA always put it down to the players? Look at your forums it's full of complaints and issues, especially ranked arenas yet all these posts get ignored and nothing gets mentioned!
@EA_Darko Read the ping in the first picture, while connected to the Iowa server, I have a ping of 32-48ms with NO packet loss. Yet, connection issues. My ping is easily higher in other games, and those pings are sometimes around 50-60ms, if not higher. I don't even have a "connection" issue with those games either.
Like consider this, its from a Minecraft server I'm currently connected to:89ms, I have zero lag, zero issues, and everything is running smoothly. Granted it doesn't have players bombarding the server trying to connect, but even on THOSE servers, still have zero issues. Its Apex, not me.
Not to mention:
Respawn THEMSELVES said it was an issue:

Is it still my internet connection now? Because seeing that copy and paste message does not spark joy. I know when its my connection, and I wouldn't complain about it, if it was my connection.- EA_Darko
Hey @Midnight9746 those tweets you link above from the APEX team including the one where Respawn confirms it's working again were sent hours before your post.
If you are seeing issues connecting I'd recommend trying the steps shared above and to give it time and keep trying.

Lmao im sorry but he just totally ignored everything yall said and said it again wow hahaha ha 😅 I can see why forums are a ghost town here 💀
- @Midnight9746 The fact that respawn have mentioned several times there's a problem on their end that's still unresolved shows the response we get of troubleshooting our connection from CMs there's an issue both with how CMs handle the complaints on the forum either due to complete denial or incompetence by pretending servers and their network is absolutely fine and must be a end user issue.
The even bigger issue though, is everyone will come back like they're in an abusive relationship and stick around handing over their money without walking away from being treated like that.
This could have been addressed a long time ago but there doesn't appear to be any community action which if happened now would likely put the game down with newer titles ready to roll out.- @CCbathwater oh darn you're right...
@Apyhs eh... shrug..
@Systemexe20 Its kinda frusterating pointing out how I don't think the issue is my end, and even state things I've tried and checked, and get told to check it again. It doesn't make sense that I could play other games with 60+ players per lobby/match and have no issue, then suddenly have issues with Apex. Like the ping to the data centers say one thing, and then the ping that shows if you enable the stat tracker thing in the settings, shows something else.
Hilarious generic response.
Even with the "updates" they've done, it's still dropping folks (albeit less), and hugely lagging at the start of games until a few squads die off. @EA_Darko I mean you no disrepect, but that cut and paste response was terrible.
Here is what is even more terrible - Respawn breaks the game with a patch. They don't even roll it back to a working status. They just say "hey, deal with it".
I'd like to know what kind of "extensive" testing goes into the patches. Quite obviously, this one recieved ZERO attention on stability. You cannot even defend what has happened over the last 6 days.
Supposedly they want to end support for the AL and promote a new game.
Oh look another post that the admins can wipe under the rug. This will be moved to an old post from back in 2020
Instead, PIN this!!!! it's been 8 days now, WTF must we do?
NO RESPONSE
NO FIX
NO WORD
NO NOTHING
How much money was the event this time round? What is this company?
