Is anyone else experiencing this? It's been some days now. I am experiencing constant lag and freezes on the Frankfurt servers. I am also being booted out of the game like 3 or 4 times per match, and have to rejoin back. All of this has costed me games. I was being killed while I was frozen. The game has become unplayable because of that. It is not my connection either. I am sure of that because I tried other servers (New York and Tokyo CGE 3) and, aside from one freeze on the New York one, it went all fine. I have not experienced any lag whatsoever on Tokyo CGE 3. I have played some games over there and they went by smoothly. I also got 6 kills right off the bat in my first match. I also tried to play Rocket League after all that, and the games went fine too. So I am guessing the Frankfurt servers are having problems. They are the closest to me, with around 38 ping. Yet I am unable to play properly. Tokyo CGE 3 had 287 ping and I was playing just fine.

Yes, the Frankfurt servers are also closest to me yet most unreliable.

@AcidicSoda44031 ISP? Telekom or 1&1? Then this is exactly your problem, solution is to change ISP.

I've the same problem. It has been going for days now where the game became unplayable for me too. It happens to all EU servers for me. Belgium is usually the closest server to me but i tried Amsterdam and Frankfort and the same happened. If by any chance u fixed this please share the solution mate.

@AcidicSoda44031@Maze98R I was having constant freezes too, on most servers.Something that I did fixed them but idk what exactly was causing the problem.So what I did was like this:1. deleting all the friends I didn't know from both origin and steam ( I had like 200-300 people, now i have like 40)2. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it on a different drive. (it was in C before and now I put it on D, both of them are SSDs)3. I removed all unnecessary skins/banners/trackers/poses/charms, literally every customization that is not needed. I only kept the p2w skins equipped like the merciless wing wingman or the pk one, or the 99 one etc. I use a legend skin and badges only on the legend I'm currently using, other legend skins and badges are off.4. I disabled steam synchronization and hardware acceleration in steam options. I disabled hardware acceleration on discord and turned off the show my activity option.5. I removed shadows how imperialhal suggested it in the videoconfig cfg (just google that)6. I disabled full screen optimization on the r5apex.exe and enabled high dpi scaling override.My best guess is either deleting a lot of friends fixed it or disabling my apex customization. I had trackers, skins, charms, banners/poses on everything. Maybe some trackers or combination of trackers were causing the lags, idk.

Problem is I'm a ps4 player so the only solution that fits me is removing the banners i guess

@AcidicSoda44031Frankfurt is 50/50 server, it either goes basicaly full day without issues,
or it has higher ping than a server that is 2x farther from you.
@Maze98Ror reinstall game if you got the patience or time

Would it help tho ?. That's the only thing i didn't try cause it will take a LOT of time to download again and all my loadiuts will be reseted so it's going to take some work. What I'm trying to say that I'm willing to reinstall it again if that's 100% the solution to my problem

The same problem in this thread where game freezes mid game and kick me to menu and gives me a code net, leaf and cloud in that order. I tried all EU servers and it happened in everyone of them. My other online games r working just fine so it's not my internet and I've been playing since day 1 and this the first time i encounter this problem
