Anyone "Lagging" lately?
I say lagging like that because I know my connection is as stable as it can be but I'm still freezing so much. It all started when the update dropped and now I can't loot fast otherwise my screen fre...
@iBlockHeadI believe this is due to the hybrid cloud server scaling that Apex sits on. When a new Season or other big event starts, there are like 10 times more players than usual, so many get pushed to non dedicated servers or others that have less load, but are further away.

Another potential cause for lag may be due to the changes in the game. There are more things in the game now, affecting the performance. The first day, I forgot to optimize my video settings through the gaming booster tool and Apex ran with optimal appearance settings, feeling a lot more sluggish than the following day.
@DoYaSeeMeDoes this have any bearing on the selected server within game, or is this on a bigger scale kinda thing?
By that I mean, regardless if i'm on the NY server, would I be notified if pushed to a non-dedicated?
I found it kinda weird that I was under the NY server for day 1 of S4, but was playing with Aussies for a bunch of games when I'm in Canada.
So to add to the stuttering play, off center looting and bad hit reg....healing seems to be broken after the last mini update.
Repeatedly trying to use a shield battery and nothing was happening, needless to say it cost me the game as i couldnt actually heal for like 15 seconds worth of attempts.
@Gabrielmojo26 I also had a sentinel out, however i didn't use a single charge. Clearly the weapon itself is bugged. O.o
@Gabrielmojo26I think it relates to the server you've selected. I'm not sure whether you get pushed to another server from the list or to some google server.
Regarding the shield battery bug, can confirm it, I also had the Sentinel out and was unable to pop a shield battery. Luckily, I had a Phoenix which saved me, we would've probably lost that match otherwise.
Btw, the sluggish looting experience might be because the devs attempted to prevent teammates stealing the loot before you even see what's inside the crate, by spawning the loot a bit later.
