Re: What is the minimum download speed to play apex legends?

That's great and really helpful, however, if that is true then I should be able to play the game even though I cant. I have about one MegaBYTE per second download speed so is there anything that the game needs to do more or anything going on in the background that I can stop so I will be able to play the game? Also, I even changed my server destination to "Oregon 1" which for me is about 130 ms and still can't play. I feel like I've tried everything but maybe you can tell me if there is something more I can do?

Your claimed connection speed vs your actual are (usually very) different. ISPs say "Up to 1mb" or whatever, but local conditions, line contention, wiring quality and beyond (exchange traffic, backbone speed etc) usually dictate otherwise.

What speed do you get if you run Speed Test in Google? 130ms ping to Oregon isn't great in the first place. :/

I did a google download test to get my internet speed. It actually came out as ".94 megabits" per second but I just rounded up.

Try going to the top ten servers that have the highest ping, because if you have a low download speed then a high ping should balance it out.
It usually works for me.
