Annoying Network Issues This Season

Ok so obviously each season start people gripe about server issues. But true season is a bit different. I've been getting what I can only describe as "blinks" or "flashes" while playing & they're not related to any action going on. Now either they've made it know realistic adding blinking or there's an issue going on.

And they still haven't fixed the whole taking RP when the server fails or game crashes which is even more annoying now with RP in Bronze!

  • @Lord_Scorpion34 just playing a ranked game on Belgium server and got kicked. Didn't notice or capture the message in my haste to return to the match. Only got back into the lobby and no penalty! It was as if the match never happened as my game summary was the previous game. I've had this before but it is in the minority, as usually it would be the usual penalty and lost points.

    @TTZ_DipsyAll my videos from this season have it I believe. I posted a video on my YouTube & I believe it has some flashes in it.

    @OldTreeCreeper  I just got a freaking abandon penalty after being kicked from a server & being unable to rejoin! Seriously I think if you have video evidence you were booted for server issues they should ar least restore your RP.

  • @Lord_Scorpion34 don't see how blinks or flashes would be related to network. That's usually a rendering issue, either there's too much to process and some frames fail to completely render or there's very limited memory and some of the assets fail to load in time to be rendered. Nothing to do with the data exchange with the server.

    Some video would be interesting, link it up. My bet is on memory issues, as there's a new legend and we know that there are often memory issues after someone gets added to the roster.
  • Bought myself a Xbox Series X last Friday & have been playing Apex on that & on my PS5  (both next gen upgrades obviously) & have been getting the old prediction error symbols pretty frequently on both consoles which is a server issue on the game side.Been also getting general game stuttering & occasional screen tears & flickering frame rate drops but as DoYaSeeMe suggests this could be down to game rendering issues.Even though I'm hardwired to a router on both consoles & not on wifi other various online games I play the ping is is usually between 15-30ms  but Apex seems to be always around 50+ms.Quite a rough game though on both next gen consoles & not the smooth experience we were led to believe  tbh.Up until yesterday at times I was experiencing that terrible noise that sounded like the Gravity Cannon launching (but no Gravity Cannons were nearby).

    @DoYaSeeMeI'll check my recordings.

    @Redmattgame  I couldn't even play today was lagging so bad lost nearly every fight I got into. After 3 or 4 games I shut it off. Not going to continue to lose RP cuz the servers are acting up.

    @OldTreeCreeper That’s a ddos, xbox players are intentionally making the server crash. Only possible with the new gen xbox, it’s been happening every other game for me in G2, it needs to be fixed asap….I feel like no one even knows about this, most likely because the glitch isn’t utilized in lower ranks.
