Massive Packet Loss Only In Apex

I have recently been having a huge amount of packet loss every game of Apex I play. About 3 months back I started getting random low amounts of packet loss (about 10 for a few seconds), which I could handle. Not I get 10 packet loss constantly and it spikes up to over 60 at random points in the game. I have tried everything forums have said to do: restarted my router, tried every available server, restarted my PC, redownloaded the game on both Origin and Steam, I am on Ethernet but the issue still happens on WiFi. Apex is the only game where I have any issues with packet loss, and when it spikes up to 60 packet loss everything else also goes down (discord calls, downloads, etc.). Someone said that NVIDIA Reflex can cause issues like this but I have entirely disabled that, and it is enabled for other games that run perfectly fine. It is getting very frustrating at this point as the game has become literally unplayable. Has anyone found an unorthodox fix for packet loss because, like I said, I have tried all of the usual fixes.

  • My ISP apparently did some maintenance and it seems to have mostly fixed the problem. I still have occasional 1-10 packet loss but nothing like what I did before. It is confirmed an ISP issue, which is why none of the fixes worked.

    Thank you!

  • Crazy thing is, I have packet loss Only for Apex. Game crashes constantly Only for Apex. It’s like the game deliberately gives certain players the L. Support likes to tell players that it’s your end. But they know it’s their fault. My router/modem has my console enabled for qos. Network testing, downloads, uploads, and packets are completely Fine. I also have random latency jumps Only in Apex. I know it’s not problems on my end either. I do my own tech in the house. It’s cheaper. But the only problems I have is always with Alex Only.
