Apex Legends lags my Internet?

This issue has never happened up till recently. No new drivers, no software installations/upgrades, nothing of the sort.

What happens is, whenever Apex Legends is running as the main focus, my Internet speed slows down to the point where my Discord disconnects, and I can't load anything UNTIL I Alt-Tab out or close Apex Legends. I have confirmed this multiple times with other full screen games/applications and none of them lags my Internet.

I ran multiple speed tests on different sites on my second monitor, and I can see my download/upload speed reduce drastically whenever I'm on Apex--while going back up when I alt-tab out of it.  

I am not sure what is causing this as I have never experienced this since the launch of Apex Legends. 

Please assist!

  • Hey, @DuhHelloTher make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth reinstalling the GPU drivers for your PC.

     

    You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

    Are you playing on wifi? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂
