High ping issues with optical fiber

Question

Hi everyone,&nbsp;Im opening this because since the last update, I have issues with high ping experience.&nbsp;Im located in France, I get optical fiber with ~ 800 Mb/s downloading and ~ 9 ping when I make tests on internet. I have an ethernet connection and I&nbsp;use to choose the Belgium servers suggested by Apex (~28 ping).In most of cases my game is fluid with about 35-40 ms of ping which is great, but I don't know why, maybe every 3-4 games, I have like 160-170 ms ping during the entire game whereas my friends (who I play with in the squad) have a normal ping, and they are on the same server than me (Belgium GCE2 most of time).&nbsp;Sometimes it happens during 2-3 games in a row, and returns to normal when we start a new one.&nbsp;I guess that is related to the servers, because when I make speed tests while playing when I have the problem, my connection is still very good and my ping aswell...Could somebody guide me to prevent this trouble ? Is there some options/tips I could use to avoid this ?Anyone has the same problem ?I dont have this problem in other multiplayer games...Thank you 🙌

your friends are random teammates or premade teammates? If it is premade teammates, you said they're playing on belgium server, are they playing from belgium or are they also playing (connecting) from difference place / country? Do your teammates ever have high ping /&nbsp; abnormal ping above 50ms while playing with you?

My friends are premade teammates, they are from different places but still in France. One friend of mine is located 200 km from me and doesn't have high ping while playing with me...

Hello. We have the same issue here in Sydney.

Your connection to the game server is being routed through international servers and back to you and it’s adding a tonne of latency. I believe this is connected to DDoS attacks and security measures to counter these attacks.

Hopefully it’s fixed soon because it has been happening since January 17.
