Apex Legends lagging very badly, even on lowest settings.

I don't think it's even the settings fault. I started having this issue since this season started. My internet speed is ok, but I still get around 200-1300 ping. But no way such lag is caused by ping or settings, right?

My system specs are:

CPU: intel i5-7400 3.00GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060  6GB

RAM: 8GB

Here's a link to a video, showing how bad it actually is (The quality isn't the best, because I compressed the video, but the lag and audio lag is from the game), and I also had some mouse lag as well(my mouse was moving really slowly and sometimes normally):

And here's a picture of my internet speed:

If anyone might have some suggestions or have encountered the same issue, I would really love to hear your opinion on this. Thanks.

  • Hey i have exactly the same problem just high ping but perfect connection in other games 

  • Have the same issues for few days now (since around Wednesday). FPS is really low, grapic loades really slow, I can't move my mouth without having a slow motion like experience.

    Attaching screenshot from Training ground (FPS=10) and DxDiag.

    Thought this might be similar to the below topic and tried most of the suggested steps https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/100-CPU-usage-troubleshooting-steps/m-p/10707752#M133286.

    No issues on other games. Drivers up to date.

    Also tried:

    • launching with advanced options and inputting "-novid -high +fps_max 0 -nojoy" per YT instructions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f99f5ys1nBs).
    • turning off fullscreen optimization for r5apex.exe
    • setting graphic prefereneces on Windows level to High Efficency for Apex
  • Did you find a solution? 

    I fixed my issue just by setting the game to windowed mode. I was always playing on borderless windowed. I can now also play apex legends on high texture streaming budget. The fps might drop to 40 minimum (during the first 40 seconds) but then it's back to normal.

  • @r1cemilk I'm having the exact same problem, it's literally unplayable for me due to all that teleporting, rubberbanding, warping bs. I'm at the end of my rope, having tried all those troubeshooting steps to no avail. Sick of trying to just have a game work for once.
