If it lags in every single game then it's either your PC or your connection.
Maybe try with cable and see if that makes a difference?
On the other hand it's true that often at specific times (usually from 18:00 to 20:00 GMT) the servers tend to get so busy that you get lag, disconnections or impossibility to login.
I wonder if this will change when Apex will come to Steam since at least it shouldn't need to rely on Origin login servers, I don't know if they'll get also more servers and run the whole thing over the way better (at least capacity and bandwidth wise) Steam platform.

Hey @Meowmeowleader,
Different games and apps handle their connections in different ways. If you're losing connection in one game but not another, it may still point to a localized connectivity issue of some kind. Playing on a WiFi connection can be iffy, as there are a lot of unseen factors that can affect the quality of the connection. Is there any way you could try connecting with a LAN cable instead to test and see if you notice any improvements?/Kent
Hi its not my wifi cause i can play other games with no problem but qhen i play apex i disconnect from the server so i can use different kinds of wifi ahd have the same problem
I cant try it with cable cause i dont have cable and everyone is experiencing it
Still,
try to get a cable, it's cheap and your overall connection quality will improve,
it's not true everyone is experiencing it, or better yes it happens but NOT in every single game.
It happens only at specific times when the servers are overloaded, if it happens all the time then it's either your PC or connection.
Some games are more demanding than others in terms of connection speed, packet loss, ping and stability.
If you want to check server status look on Google for Apex Legends status.I mean its been happening for weeks now to me and i cant even play a round in peace
- @Meowmeowleader Do you try to play always at the same time in the day? Did you ever check server status?
Maybe simply you play always during peak hours...try changing the time you play. I try every day but its not even working but when i get in a game and play a little it lags me out and i cant even finish my game
- @Meowmeowleader I didn't say everyday, I said try changing the time you usually play.
Do some connection tests as suggested everywhere in the forums and post the ping and packet loss to the server you're connecting to.
Also check your DNS: better if you use Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or Cloudflare 1.1.1.1.
Is it possible to know your PC and connection specs? I tried to not play for a week and when i went back on it still lags me out but its the Halloween update that messed it up for me cause it was fine befpre npw its not
