How to fix prediction error on apex?

  1. I have been having a big issue with prediction error on EVERY GAME OF apex. My internet is not the issue. I play on pc and every game I get the two lines which means prediction error. How do I solve this? Is there even a solution? The game is becoming unplayable and it’s a shame because I loved the game. This all started 2 weeks ago.

    @feelsgoodman99 problems since May 5th here. Some days, it's been playable. I'm really glad I didn't get the battlepass because there's no way i'd finish it with only being able to play the game 25% of the time without issues. Before the new update, I was playing with 0 issues.

    Did your manage to find a fix?

    I'm having the same issue with prediction error every game.

    What I've done:
    Purchased new modem, currently on Comcast 1 Gig speed

    UO Trace: Tests good everytime, no packet loss.

    Speedtests, all good

    Servers on the game show 0% packet loss.

    But every game I have this problem. Been happening for a month now.


  • I had the same problem a couple of days ago. And today I fixed. I had Apex legends installed on my pc but never played it before. A couple of days ago I decided that I wanted to try it, but whenever I tried it, i was getting prediction error and packet loss symbols all the time. The game was literally unplayable. So here is how I fixed my problem and hopefully that will work someone else as well.

    All you need to do is forward the network ports that Apex legendes needs. Once I did that, the problem was solved.

    My computer is connected via LAN cable to D-LINK router I have. And the router is connected to a CISCO cable modem modem via LAN cable. So if you have kind of the same the setup you would to do port forwarding on both devices (router and cable modem).

    Here is the link of the port that you need to do port forwarding for Apex Legends

    Here is a link on how to port forwarding:

    But keep mind that every cable modem and router settings a slightly different.

    A bit late here but I get prediction errors on apex non stop to the point that the game is unplayable. I port forwarded my xbox but it didn't solve the problem do I need to forward all of the ports that apex uses?

  • @fellix360 You need to try changing your ISP. On my provider, this error occurs a maximum of 1-2 times a week.

    It is not ISP problem. People all over the world have this issue with different internet providers. Also remember - wherever you live 90% of cabling ISP uses is shared between them. Most if not all of the time they also go via the same central. The problem is on APEX side not on players side.

    I loose at least 1 in 10 games due to this problem.
