High Ping in all servers

High Ping I'm having ridiculously high pings on all the servers. It happens only in Apex Legends, and the ping numbers for the close countries start from 370ms and go up. I frequently get assigned ...

@Godisbullen Did you even read what he wrote? That's exactly what he did. Happens only in Apex Legends.

Btw. I live in the same city and use the same ISP, so where I get ping like 36ms, he gets like 380ms (as he wrote already), where I get 150ms, he gets something around 500ms, etc. Again, only in Apex Legends - the pings to random websites, EA servers, etc. are quite regular (10 to 150ms, depending on the server location).

Apex Legends automatically selects the best server for you, of course, so in his case 370ms was the fastest. Seems like the connection to Apex servers is going through some kind of proxy.

@shomzilla he said he was automatically assigned to a server, so I didn't get that he'd tried to manually change it.

But if that's the case. Maybe try go through a VPN, just to check your proxy theory.

@GodisbullenYeah, yeah, his pings are insane on all servers on the list.
He said it's normal with other games, and we compared pings to some other things, outside of Apex, and it's all regular.

Not sure a VPN would help, because my guess was that the game itself goes through some kind of proxy, so in case of VPN it would still go through that proxy after leaving VPN... I've seen a few more posts regarding this, so he's definitely not the only one.
We'll see if Respawn tech guys know about it.
