Hi,I'm from Kuwait and I have a good fiber connection with 50Mbps Upload/Download,And I usually average around 89-86ms ping to European servers in most games that I've played online.I'm pretty sure that I have no issues on my end, But I don't know why I'm getting 110-120 Ping to Bahrain servers without using any kind of third party Client/Software like WTFast This is really frustrating, I shouldn't have to use third-party software to get a lower ping on a server that's like 8-10 hours drive away from where I live!Please sort this problem out, Because I'm not the only one that is suffering from this issue, There are a lot of players from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, OmanAre already getting high pings to Bahrain servers, I'm going to include the Screenshot of my before and after using the WTFast Client.I understand that It's fixing the problem. But the point is, Not everyone has the money to spend on the client every month. Just to play Apex for a few hours,Especially the people who play for fun and not really serious about going pro or anything like that.I hope this issue gets resolved.Thank you.- Yousef

Hello,Im a player from The Middle east, and with the new update for Apex legends came Bahrain servers that i've been wishing for a long time because i've been playing at EU servers and my ping is always above 100+ even at fastest internet hours so i was very happy to see that.But when i log into the game and queue a match there are practically no one else playing it is always showing "1/2/3 Players in Queue". I've tried going to the second Bahrain server but no luck, and apperantly i've seen some people that have played using the same server. so i ask is there a problem in general or is it just me? Because im sure theres a huge player base in the ME.I play on the Xbox One. If i switch to other servers its normal.

There isn’t enough player in the middle east plus they added 2 servers without showing how many players are active in each one which makes it hard to get a game going and if they want to increase the players count they need to release the cross platform so you wont have to wait 10-15 mins for a game

i live in saudi arabia i was getting 18 pings max yesterday night then suddenly pings went to 300+ and packet loss from yesterday morning ...i cant play on Bahrain servers anymorePlease fix this ...i chat with Ea but yall know lazy ppls on the chat saying same thing over and over clean boot ,ports etc

I also have the same issue, I had 18 max ping a few days ago and now Bahrain severs are 300+. We really need an answer to this I finally got no lag and now I'm straight back into it

The thing is, According to what I've heard from most forums and Reddit posts from the last few years of people who are having the same issues with other games which use the Amazon AWS Cloud Service, Such as PUBG, And the game's devs cannot just "FIX" the problem that easily with some tweakings or settings Because, they are using Amazon's Owned Service for their game, Apex servers are not Directly made or created by Respawn themselves, Which means that they would need to forward the middle eastern's player base complaints to Amazon And have them fix their AWS server's routing problems across the middle east for Apex Legends.This also means that it will take time to get it fixed, Because Amazon has to first acknowledge the problem and then have it fixed in a week or two.In conclusion, We just have to wait for now, I bet It's going to take a month or two, Even three but who knows!Respawn, Please hurry up!

@MyNameIsBozurk I'm from Egypt.
My average lowest ping on EU servers is 58-65ms
I get 125ms to US servers like NY, and +150ms on Bahrain servers.
Which is incredibly weird considering the actual physical distance !!!!!!

Hi,
Middle East servers were introduced last week which is great. The ping in the first few days was around 20-30 ms. The wait was longer than usual but I was happy with the low ping that i didn’t mind the half a min wait per game.

However, since about few days ago (May 20th), the ping suddenly jumped to more than 200ms for Middle East servers (worse than Tokyo and NY). Eu servers ping is around 80ms.

I am from Jeddah Saudi Arabia on a Mobily fiber network.

Anyone else facing same issue?
