Network traffic going to incorrect server intermittently
I'm in Ohio, connected to us-east-1 in game where it shows 25-35ms ping, which would be amazing if it were consistent. However, I am CONSTANTLY getting spikes over 200ms, sometimes even 350-400ms. As I am on a brand-new ethernet line, this was concerning.
Checked network traffic for apex and I see it being routed randomly through California and Oregon. The ping will ramp up every 20-30s, in all game modes, including the Firing Range.
I've tried:
- Flushing DNS
- Using Cloudflare/Google/OpenDNS servers
- Power-cycling modem
- Restarting PC
- Verifying integrity of game files
- Selecting us-east-1 a dozen times
I used to get packet loss on wifi, now that problem is gone, but the ping spikes make the game genuinely unplayable. This has been going on for well over a week now and I'd love a solution that works.
Happy to provide more info as needed.
