Apex ranked servers are broken with lag and unplayable

Season 8 lag has made this game miserable. It is especially bad in ranked servers. On my performance display the "In" shoots up to 70-80 every few games and it feels like I am running through mud. Hit registration is spotty. Latency jumps around too. I am playing Ps4 pro on a wired connection. My teammates from all over the US confirm they are getting the same "In" readings during the match. Usually the numbers start dropping late match, but early firefights are horrendous.  I have played ranked since season two. Made season 3 Pred and season 5 masters. I have had my performance display on since introduction. These problems are recent ( about 6 weeks ago) and consistent.  My download speed is 159.1 and upload is 5.9. I have overlooked all the other bugs in Apex, but the server problems have sucked all the fun out of this game.  Please help. I would love a response from someone to help me troubleshoot this once great broken game. 

P.s. I have also experienced the slow mo servers a few times.

  • These servers, I can't anymore... literally can't deal with this game. One ranked game was doing soooo good, 12 kills 2459dmg w/gibby fully kitted attachments with the G7/30-30 rep rep, kill leader and everything. It came down to the last squad and boot "code:wheel", came back in and boot again "code:leaf" came back in and nah fam back to the lobby you go. Lost 48 rp and got the 10min penalty still which I thought you fixed. I don't even want to play this game anymore for the day.. I can't even contain my rage.. its left me at total numbness. Forget about town takeovers, heirlooms, cosmetic skins too add to the game, and fix this unplayable game. Seriously, I'm getting no regs on every other game but can clearly see the bullet hitting them from the blood splat, getting code leaf and wheel every other hour. Sometimes have to grab loot twice because of it not registering the first time. Getting hit with stray bullets that catches me when im in cover and completely safe from the fight or registering that I got knocked from bullets that hit me from a few seconds earlier... Please EA, Respawn you are a billion dollar IP and I love this game so much so please, please fix these issues before continuing on the next season. It is getting to be totally unplayable....

  • @intrinsicreef I know how you feel. I've been experiencing this issues ever since they celebrated their anniversary. I find it pathetic that they have no answer to this issue considering the amount of money they make from this game.

    @BlazenSoldier23Ditto. I have had all those things happen to me recently and feel the same. I used to get so excited for new patch notes or content. The gunplay and movement is what made this game incredible. Now, my G7 doesn't register shots almost every game, and I feel like I am trying to run through quicksand. ( I'm sure all guns don't register, but it is most apparant on single fire weapons). The fun in this game is that every little decision you make can affect the out come. Now all those decisions are being overshadowed by server lag. Such a shame.
