Apex servers are extreamly laggy

Its been hard for me to enjoy season 8 due to the amount of server lag and rubber banding : (

I concur. Been getting alot of lag, but this is more than me rubber banding and enemies blink teleporting due to high latency. Im getting pinned to a place on the ground at times and I don't even want to try running ranked or trios because I end up running duos since the 3rd never generates in solo queue.

Hello, @CaptWrekAlyfe

We can go through some troubleshooting if you'd like. Please answer the questions in my previous post and we'll get started. Thanks!

@EA_AljoHere is my checklist

I'm on Xbox Series X

I can go between 5G wireless and ethernet

I use the 5G connection for downloading games

I use the ethernet connection for stability

5G connection runs at 120-150 mbps average

When I play Apex I'm wired. I run a network diagnostic on my Xbone to see I'm running at 90 mbps average. 0 PL and an average of 30 ping

I can play other online games with minimal to NO issues

I'm not making sweeping blanket statements. NO online games are flawless. There are occasional hiccups here and there. Servers go down and need services. Solar flares are a threat. E-girls stealing bandwidth is a phenomenon. Sometimes my top tier gaming internet package gets dropped to a 56k dialup. $*** happens.

This is a consistently inconsistent pattern specific to Apex gameplay that can be counted on 1/5 even 1/3 matches depending on the day. Something happens to mess up the players match. Sticking, rubberbanding, no regs on shots, enemies Neo Matrix teleporting.

As if we as players don't have enough going against us. Cheaters, exploiters, 3rd parties, we gotta deal with lag, connectivity issues, teammates not generating correctly and if they do they're booted to the lobby if you're not the one seeing the connection error screen

I will note one thing. I see this issue more on my main account than on alt accounts I use to test different controller configurations. It's punishing at times to use the account I created on the very first day of Apex while a fresh new account plays like the first day of Apex

  Thanks for the details. Have you tried any troubleshooting yet? I'd like to avoid repeating steps you've already performed.

    @EA_Aljo Seriously, me and many other Apex players have troubleshooted until our brains are turned to oatmeal.
    
    WTF does troubleshooting have to do with OTHER players not generating in the queue?
    
    What does troubleshooting have to do with anything when I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and my teammate who is in another timezone are having the SAME types of lag when we obviously have different gear?
    
    Stop passing responsibility onto the players and gaslighting us to believing maybe it might be the color of our ethernet cables lagging us out, making us rubberband.
    
    Or certain specific squad enemies vanishing once you draw a bead on them only to reappear 10 ft ahead is caused by the angle of the router antenna.
    
    I'm not ruling out the possibility of people having issues on their side of the hardware. This is specifically about things proof positive being on EA/Respawn side of the fence.
