Apex Legends Middle East Servers

Hii gents and ladies...

now i know alot of players are having the same issues of high PING or LAG in my region, we always get connected to EU or Asia servers which always give us 120+ ms..

After the Iron Crown update it actually got worse to even 150+ms, I don’t know what could cause this but I’m sure it wasn’t like this before.

I’m playing on Xbox, PS4 should be the same.

the game feels slow you get insta killed sometimes, it’s not an enjoyable experience to play anymore.

We need a dedicated server for this region, FORTNITE already added Middle East Server like a month ago and everyone is happy, enjoying the experience.

Even though Fortnite have the bigger player count than Apex in the Middle East, but I’m sure EA/Respawn would want to grow in this region.

can we get some feedback about this or any future plans for Middle East servers?

     Hi dude,

    The ISP's (Internet Service Providers) Around the middle east does NOT have good a Routing/Traceroutes to neighboring countries for some odd reason.

    And as of right now, The only solution to this problem is to either Call your ISP and have them fix your Internet's traceroutes to Bahrain or Dubai for you, Or just use a Client or a VPN like WTFast or Killping

    Until Respawn fixes the Amazon AWS server's trace routes around the middle east. Because not everyone is getting a low ping to Bahrain server

    And that's honestly really annoying and saddening.

    I'm from Kuwait, And I have a very good fiber connection with 50Mbps Download/Upload

    But I'm still averaging 110-120ms ping to Bahrain And not to mention, Kuwait is Extremely close to Bahrain

    This is my Screenshot to show you the before and after results of using WTFast to play Apex.

    I suggest anyone who's getting high ping to Bahrain's server uses this until Respawn figures it out.

    Check my screenshot too. The awful situation of traceroute from Iran to the server of the Middle East in comparison with the server of Western Europe shows.

    No, It is not useful for PS4 players in any way, And it will not work because It's intended for the Windows PC
