Every multiplayer game I play works perfectly fine but after the Season 16 update, I've been getting 300-400 ping in my matches.One game I play my ping is around 50-60, but the game after that its 400. If I reboot the game it's back to 50.The only "solution" that works is rebooting the game but as you can tell it's not practical to do after every 1 or 2 games.I've tried:- Verifying game files- Rebooting my computer, game client and my router multipler times nothing seems to fix it. Does anyone have the same problem as me?

The game is 100x less fun this season because of this. I went from 13-16 ping on GCE 1 NA servers for the past 15 seasons, to 105 ping most games this season. IDK if EA decided to save money by paying for EVEN CHEAPER servers, or if the game is just horribly optimized once again, but its destroying my enjoyment of the game. I cant get more than one game at 15-20 ping before the very next on the exact same servers is over 100+ and it takes a half a second for my bullets to register. Absolutely unacceptable for a multi-billion dollar in revenue game thats been out for 4 years, that was on outdated servers and engine when it was created. Flagship game for EA and they cant be bothered to bolster the single most important aspect of the game thats been struggling for the entirety of the games existence. I'm pissed. This is a great game, being ruined by horrible management by EA.

same here tried all stuff that you mentioned above still not fixed it shows 70-75 ping on login screen but 230ms in every single match on Singapore servers and other SEA servers too

I'm having the same issue. Heck a buddy of mine who has played since Season 1 refuses to play this season because the ping is so bad. On the start page where you can select a server my ping is normally around 35-40 but once I'm in the lobby its like 150 and then when I'm in game is around 80. I don't know what's going on but I hope Respawn and EA get it fixed because Apex is my favorite game.

I've had a similar issue, High ping low fps making impossible to play apparently they are aware of the issue which was 2 months ago and I've been having this issue for 6 months now haven't been able to play it since then.

Try turning off the EA Overlay. My lobby Ping is still showing around 130-150 but match ping is showing 40-50 now

In the EA App, click the drop down menu by your profile. GO into settings. Under the application tab is an option "IN-game overlay." You want that off. Default is on.

Damn this game is killing itself. 85% of my games always lagging at 300ms average (the funny thing is server list says 15ms) but when in game it's 300ms, I can feel it too almost 1 sec delay. It wasn't this bad on 2nd anniv.

@Sheltonimore Recently the ping spikes are somewhat better (they peak at 120ms) but now packet loss is the problem. I'm getting seriously annoyed since the next game I connect (after the laggy ones) can be played perfectly fine, without any connectivity issues.
