Packet loss every other game

New season, same problem, so I am trying again.

It started a couple seasons ago; in random games, no matter the gamemode I wil have incoming packet loss (the left number of the two). It is usually between 40 and 50, it doesn´t matter what server I play on and leaving and reconnecting doesn´t do anything. I know it it neither my hardware, nor my internet connection; I have checked that several times. I am currently on wifi but I  had the same problem on cable. Since the problem started I have had different routers, antennas, cables and internet providers. No change.

Some days it is worse, some days it is alright. There is no pattern I could think of.

And since this isn´t the first time I searched for answers I have also tried all the generic and advanced trouble shooting options. Obviously without success.

Oh, and this is an Apex Legends only problem. I play several online games and do not have a problem in any of them, only this game.

As this makes many games unplayable and I hate abandoning my teammates I will ask for help again and hope that maybe this time around we can find a solution.

Edit: Alright so I looked around further and assume it´s just the Telekom (my current internet provider) and EA not really coming to an agreement when it comes to servers. I tried using a VPN and that seems to fix the  problem. Kind of a pay2win solution but hey, as long as it works.

  • Every other game packet loss 30 - 50 Croatia last 3 seasons. Losing RP and no more interests in grinding to high rank

  • I've had similar issues, I don't have packet loss, but my ping will be 100ms more than it should be to servers that I've had the same 20ms ping to for 4 years with no issues. These last few seasons, it's just been getting worse and more often that I'll randomly have high ping or packet loss from match to match with no obvious pattern. I've seen many others with these issues on this board, but apparently it's just an Apex server issue and we can't do anything about it except complain till Respawn actually does something to fix it.
