Community ManagerHave you tried any troubleshooting from your end at all? The team is aware of some server stability issues like being in slow motion at the beginning of games and committed to improve server quality overall, however some steps below might be able to fix it from your end with just a few easy adjustments to your network. If you know how to log into your router's admin panel there should be a section to enter ports listed for Apex Legends. There is also QoS (Quality of Service) on router settings where you can designate gaming as a priority for your bandwidth in case you're also streaming or using other devices in the household.

@EA_Blueberry I can't help but notice, in most of your replies to people with issues, you recommend that they should take steps to fix the problems themselves. You can't legitimately have a hundred thousand reported problems and think, "Well our * is perfect. Must be something on your end." Like, * sake. Really? Why is Apex literally the only game where the player has to fix their problems instead of the company making money?

@brokencasanova If the issue is a local one, then local steps need to be taken. We're not dismissing the idea that there may be server-side issues - they do happen - but equally the possibility of there being a local or network issue shouldn't be ignored.
There are definitely times when we'll get a huge wave of reports for a game and it'll be clear that it's not a local issue, but this doesn't seem to be one of them.However that also doesn't mean that there isn't an issue on our end, and having sample accounts who have verified that troubleshooting is ineffective will be very helpful, if that's the case.
@EA_David That seems incredibly unlikely, as I can barely find anything with an EA response that's legitimately problem solving. I built an entirely new PC specifically to play this game on release and have had nothing but problems since Day 1, whether it's the audio having a near 30 second delay, or players slideshow teleporting across the screen because for some reason the 42 ping, 0% packet loss server I'm playing on says my connection is bad. I can play over a dozen online games at any point in this week and not have a problem until I try and play Apex, and me having to go into my command console, router settings, game properties and forcibly tweak something that I shouldn't have to do in the first place is *, plain and simple. This game is unplayable for too large of a portion of people, for everyone at EA to just kick back and ask "Well did you make sure your computer is plugged in?" I'd rather be on hold with Dell for 12 hours then to be treated like we've never played any sort of online game before. This is a joke.
- @EA_Blueberry Been there done that. Other games I play are fine. It is a you problem Apex!
