Data Center info gathering thread.

Hi, we're seeing some players reporting that they appear to be assigned to an incorrect data center, experiencing high in-game latency, and who are reporting players from other regions in their games...

Hi David, I have to say that since the beginning of Apex these server issues have been quite frustrating. Once I found out that the game doesn't asign you logicly to a data center near your home, I have been waiting every time I boot up the game to choose the Amsterdam data canter since I am from Holland.

However since the new patch I have been getting really bad lag, and the reason is that even though I select Amsterdam I still get put on the Salt Lake City server. I have tested it and confirmed that I get put on the Salt Lake City sever even though I selected the Amsterdam servers...

I don't see the reason why people should get to choose servers that are that far away from their homea, i could play against most of europe but that is already pushing it. Hope this is fixed soon in a permanent matter, it would be nice to be able to see directly what server we play on. This game deserves/needs the best connection possible. The battlefield servers are empty anyways so might as well throw those in 😉

Hi, i have huge packet loss since the legendary hunt update. It feels like 9 of 10 games are unplayable with a huge delay on everything. I live in south germany and i would expect that Frankfurt is the best data center for me as for many other games. Unfortunately ALL servers are bad now. I sometimes end up ingame with a chinese spam bot and if i ask the other dude where he's from, he tells me "CHILE". Whats going on? Two mates i regularly play with, have the same problem of high packet loss or high latency (they have a different ISP).
Checkout the screenshot from the data centers. My connection has no load at this point and various connection tests are all good.
If you know a temporary or final solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

  That last ingame update is litteraly unplayable for people that have limited upload rate.(Clients will now send user input to the server at a higher rate.)
  And im asking devs to make the game update only outside the game(like Origin platform for PC)
  and lower that packet sent by user cause its super unplayable, for me i cant play the only game i love to anymore.
