I've had this issue since day one, there's no sure fix, the servers are * and it's not going to be patched until a long long time passes.

It's a good game, but this mess can't be undone in a month, or two or three. What you can do, as I have, is to open the ports listed and isolate your connection to your gaming PC exclusively and only to the game. If there's a cellphone on the WiFi, it can drop you out of the game. If there's ANYONE else doing anything on the same ethernet it will drop you out. Even then, there's a high chance it will desync and drop you anyways. So keep launching the game in afk mode until you get a stable match and play it until it finishes or drops you mid game, it's the only way to enjoy Apex at the moment.

Informative video, shame to see apex's backend is that bad. This game should have definitely released as a beta version, as that's pretty much what it is at this point. Regardless, thanks for the help!
