Game is unplayable due to Desync/Prediction Error

Hi, My issue is that the game starts desyncing me whenever too many things are happening at once. It could be 2+ people shooting me at once, a care package dropping, an octane stims while shooting...

One of my ISP's uses fibre to the cabinet and the other is fibre to the home.  Suprisingly enough, the better performing one is the fttc majority of the time however they both have the same issue.  I am inclined to believe the issue is ISP related and not server side as many of my friends who play Apex in and around my city have smooth connections and do not experience the desync/prediction errors as regularly as I do and to the extent where it causes aim drift, faituged movement, random busts of incoming damage taken as opposed to gradual progression, delayed weapon swap, reload and interact, etc.  I have also done a clean reinstall of windows on both 10 and 11 and have not had any success with that either.

@SinchronicTV Interesting, I would have thought fiber would have been able to fix the issue (don’t have it in my area). Yeah I don’t think doing a clean install of windows would be worth the hassle of reinstalling everything again/moving files around. And only for a very slim chance that it somehow would fix it. Maybe you can try playing at one of your friend’s houses to be able to definitively confirm that it is the internet? That would remove your pc hardware as the issue without a shadow of a doubt.
