Hi. I had the same issue but found a workaround for that.. Since apex connects to some of data servers that may have high ping. What you have to do is change your data center from the first loading screen where you have to clickto continue.

1- wait for 60 sec.

2- press exit todesktop

3- but you have to cancel it.

4- now you will see data center option in menus. 

5- click data çenter and select the server with the best ping.
