Ping I have no solution for but for which server you can do this. First start the game. Then wait (for pc I've heard it takes 1 min and for consoles 2 mins) 1 minute. Access the 'accessibility' menu, go back and you should see 'data centre' or something and there you can select which server you connect to.

Hope this helps

Since Apex does not have ability to see ping at the moment, there is a workaround way to check ping ( on PC)

- You can use Resource Monitor (windows tool) to check for IP of the server, or use a free edition Netlimiter ( recommended, abit easier to see ping)
- Once you got IP, run command prompt, and ping to that ip ( ping 10.0.0.1 for example)
- Take note that, you need to join a game before check for actual IP. Lobby IP is different obviously.
