Community AdminSo what's the conclusion/fix/update of this info "gathering" !? EA any news?!
Best we can hope for is 2020 there should be a fix when all the players are gone. The lag wont be an issue any longer.
So adding a static Route for the IP of the servers seems Legit prevention of getting dumped into a bad region.
Hi,
I have (had) issues with packet loss to European servers with xbox. Ping to servers is descent/ok 40-55ms, but packet loss was constantly between 40-60%.
My connection is ADSL (about 16MB/2MB) and naturally I bugged my ISP with this issue.
They suggested me to test connectivity with another router, which first sounds ridiculous, as everything is basically working. I just have packet loss issues with one game.
Anyways, I tested connection with older router which I still had, and surprise, with this router I had 0 % packet loss.
So in my case the packet loss issue was due to router being broken or it just couldn't handle the load with apex + all other devices connected.
My router is ASUS DSL-N55U and the one which worked was even older model from Telewell.
Of course it is possible, that I have just configured this asus router somehow badly which causes this. But then again it is already bit older model, and may have issues with handling 7-8 wifi devices on the network, and having to handle "high speed gaming work" at the same time...
If the router is indeed broken, it is quite amazing that it can break like this and cause these kinds of issues, when basically everything internet/connectivity related still works on all connected devices.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I will try with new router.
