I have great internet but the connection to APEX servers is really bad

Having the same issue, a workaround is alt+f4 and relogging once char selection is over, after a try or two whatever is causing the issue will route the connection properly.

Not sure if its a server issue or a coding issue with apex itself, this started for me 1 day ago.

At first I thought it was an internet problem on my side but I have 300 down / 100 up fiber optic, I was running 1 tv at 4k, a cellphone on youtube 2k 60fps and youtube on chrome on my pc at 1080 60 fps and streaming my game at 720/30fps through discord with my buddies while chatting with them with no voice lag or video lag, I play Apex at 2k/144hz averaging 110 fps at 50ms-60ms through Dallas server.

When ping is high it averages 140ms when its a "stable" lag and i see people teleporting around, my ingame vchat is fine going out, but coming in it is laggy, if its unstable it runs between 140ms and 250ms and is unplayable but I can hear vchat coming in but no vchat going out. I tried switching servers at first to see if that was the issue but testing 3 other servers had the same problem. I then kept shutting down the game with alt+f4 until it reconnects me to the game with a stable connection which is 50ms-60ms which remains that way throughout the whole game.

Seems like the game is having a routing issue, either server side or something funky with the connection coding..

Everything was fine until 1 day ago, I have not changed anything on my computer.

Issue happens when playing with full pc users (Windows 10 users, local within town distance with different ISP's) and crossplay (xbox users, USA in same household, in one game one of them started lagging towards the end of a game, other games were stable for both of them).

Windows 7 64 bit.

Running Apex through steam.

There is no additional software running on my computer other than Steam, Apex, Discord, Logitech Gaming Software and Razer Synapse, I have updates disabled on everything.

Computer has been scanned for malware with malwarebytes, no issues there.

My connection is 1Gbps ethernet directly to my modem.

While having issues I have run ping tests to google.com and to my modem with no intermittency, modem is a solid 1ms and to google doesnt go over 14ms while playing APEX, I watch it on my second screen.

EA needs to fix their game or servers.
