Apex Lagends
Game is jerky, not smooth like it use to be. Occasionally I have a smooth game, but most games now are like running underwater, rubberbanding, teleporting models, packet dropping, delayed hit regist...

Testing, Testing? Just posted twice on the weekend and they have disappeared?

Community ManagerI checked to see if your posts were caught up in the spam filter, but I wasn't able to see them. I'm not sure what might have happened to stop them from going through unless we were having a hiccup here on Answers HQ.
It is strange that the packet loss seems to migrate to other servers. I wonder if this might be happening because of a node somewhere in between your home network and the servers. Does it seem like there's any pattern to the time of day or anything when this is happening?

The two posts above the testing one were the ones not showing - they are now - that's weird.
I usually play peak times, Friday and Saturday night. Have had a smoother experience during the day on weekends.
If packet loss was happening because of a node somewhere, wouldn't it show on the UO Traceroute? And isn't packet loss caused by overloaded servers dropping the packets?
Would be good to know a Apex Data Centre IP I could test?
Just played on a Tuesday night
Still micro stutters, jerkiness. Packet loss indicator did come up a for a bit though.
No packet loss on any servers being reported:

It would show up in a trace route, but unfortunately I don't have the IP addresses of the datacenters to test it directly. Another possible way of testing this would be to try connecting with a mobile hotspot rather than your normal network. That might help us see if this is localized to your network.
I know that using a hotspot isn't always possible, but if that's something you can try out let me know. Thanks again.

@EA_Kent
Thanks for your efforts Kent.
I'm not able to connect to a wi-fi hotspot.For now, playing Apex is just a roll of the dice. Seems the issue is beyond my control.
Had a few more playable matches lately. If the lag gets too bad I just turn it off and play something else.
