Ping too high all of sudden

my internet has a minimum of 100MB speed and my usual ping ranges from 50-70, but now all of a sudden it went up to 110-125 and my internet is working perfectly as it has always.

I’m always connected to Frankfurt and Belgium servers because the have lowest ping for me. The delay makes it so hard for me to play.

It’s enough the servers are bad as they are and we still don’t have an option to reconnect to a match once disconnected, now I have to deal with this high ping problem which I’m sure my internet has nothing to do with because all others games work just fine.

This is really frustrating, it just feels like the devs are literally asking us to switch to Warzone...


Sorry this post is bulked with negativity but today was one of the worst Apex Legends experiences for me since launch.

    @SHiNWiN if all about 3-5 of those users are streaming, you will get noticeable lag depending on the quality they choose to stream or the size of the pages they open up.

    Again see if reducing the number of devices helps and or just managing it so that your system gets more vs others.

    @SHiNWiN the increase could be caused by having multiple users on the same network.

    Seems like you already had a high ping for the amount of speed you have so I assume there are others on it that could be streaming/gaming/surfing or whatnot.

    Try managing the network to give more to your console (if no one else in the household cares for slow speeds).

    @iBlockHead I’ve been playing since launch with the same network and the same setting adjustments. I know 50-70 ping isn’t the best but I got used to it because that’s the best it can get. 5 individuals connect to the internet at the same time everyday for years in my household but that has never been an issue for me.

    Welcome to EA.

    Happens to all their games eventually. I vowed I'd never get another ea game after deleting my last one for similar issues.

    Only got Apex because it was free and my friend wanted to get it.

    Actually really enjoyed it, as i did with my other games, but mysteriously they degrade and get worse and worse. 

    This is my honest experience. I'm close to deleting Apex if it gets any worse. And i actually spent money on it because i enjoyed it.

    For me, I'll be fine at 50ms and then my screen freezes, and I look to the little info thing you can have on the top right of the screen and it suddenly jumps up to 120ms goes back down for a second and jumps back up again which in combat makes it impossible to reliably track people.
