Forum Discussion
I have to say i love this game a lot but i cant tell if the problem is me or the servers. I have a well decent amount of ping for me around 200 thats what i game on at a daily. But all of a sudden from yesterday onwards i keep on getting huge amounts of packet loss around 50-90 and it doesnt go away. I tried to join other servers but they are even worse. The problem is its only apex, i went to play online on other games like minecraft and it worked perfectly fine no lag no packet loss. PLEASE HELP ME!
@Crzptic 200 ms is high and may be the reason
But you could try to flush your DNS:
Open CMD (Admin) and type in;
“ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes).
press enter.
Have you tried to use a public DNS?

@EzyHawk i just recently flushed my dns and it still has the same problem. It is 100% not my ping that is the problem cuz i play with that all the time with no problems. The problem is my packet loss, i used to get 0% and all of a sudden spikes to 70%+. And just as i mentioned if it was the ping i would be lagging in other games as well while at the moment im only lagging in apex no other game. oh also i don't know what a public dns is and how to use one. Help would be appreciated :D
@Crzptic Your other game might have a closer server.
High ping/ms can result in package loss.

1. Do you have any third party softwares running (Anivirus, discord, firewall etc)?> 1.1 Antivirus - Try to whitlist the game in your antivirus software and see if this helps.

>>> 1.3 Firewall - Allow connections through the firewall
