Lag spikes and unplayable game

Extreme Lag spikes - Unplayable lag - Unfair deaths in game

Ever since the 450 mb update at the end of season 13, there is newly introduced lag spikes that happen through out the game - menu as well as in game online play. the game was fine before that update.

During game there is freeze spike which causes lag and new weird symbols show up at top right corner

this only happens on apex, other origin game [bf1, bf 5] work fine without any issues.

please look into this issue as it has made the game unplayable and utterly unejoyable. ☹️

i am attaching my DXDIAG.txt files.

MY PC:

Win 7 Pro 64 Bit

i7-6850k

48GB ram

GTX 1080 [latest drivers installed]

Thanks

  • You're not going to get help, unfortunately.

    I know this is in no way constructive, but I'm just telling you to not expect any results. EA has made it impossible to actually get in touch with them on their "help" section and will just revert you to forums.

    I've been having the same issue as you for weeks and there's nothing I can do about it. I actually got an email this morning with a warning because I was complaining about the lag in a match (I said the "F" word while complaining about lag! Oh no!).

    Completely ridiculous that EA will give you zero support and will give you a warning for using a "bad word" when they do literally nothing to improve their games anymore. As long as the cash cow keeps milking, who cares about the players, right? Terrible support, terrible company.

  • I'm afraid we are in the dark over this .

    The more attention you try and getnon this thread ... the sad reality  is... the mods will just delete the post and block you. (I know this because this is my third time reporting this on 3 diffrent accounts) and 2 have been banned lol

  • i did an experiment

    i downloaded apex on steam, and tried playing from there ...

    same result still same lag and everything .... dying unfairly in-game due to freeze lags

    any solution to this problem??

    ☹️

  • Heyooooo

    Guess what ... season 15 update .... poof .... problems gone .....i do get the speaker icon at the start of the game .... but no lag spike no issues ...

    that being said .... since i could not play S14 ... EA/ Respawn should give all the cosmetics / skins / stuff that were on the battle pass since i bought it with coins :/

    Anywho ... cheers 🙂

  • Glad for you, but I've been having microfreezes/lag spikes in game for around 2 months now and season 15 update had made no difference. I was hoping it would but sadly not. I love Apex but I am so sick of this game being so broken ☹️
