[PC] Constant packet loss

Hi there, @Mizvchi 

If you run a general speed/packet loss test, does it also show the packet loss? Are you playing on a wired or wireless connection? Thanks!

Hi @EA_Aljo thank you for your answer,

I've tried to run both, but they don't show any packet loss.

I'm playing with wireless connection because I can't use a wired one, I've always played like that but I never had this problem before.

@Mizvchi 

Wireless is probably the issue then. Is the router too far for a wire? If so, as a test, can you try moving your PC close enough to use a wire? That would narrow this down to being on a wireless connection.

Also, are you using a 5G connection for your wireless? If you have WiFi 6, that will help. You can also try putting your PC on its own wireless channel, but none of these are going to be better than using a wire.

@EA_Aljo

Honestly I'm not even sure to have an ethernet cable to try this, I'll check that tomorrow.

For the wireless I have WiFi 6 and I'm connected to the seperated 5GHz bandwith, also I was planning on buying a WiFi repeater because yeah the router is quite far for a wire and I think it's even too far to have an optimum connection.

But still I'm surprised that all the servers have the same amout of packet loss, I assume that it's normal for some of them to have a high packet loss percentage depending on their location but usually most of the servers have 0% packet loss for me, and like I said that's the first time I'm seeing this issue even playing with wireless connection.

Hi @EA_Aljo

I tried this solution and it seems like it's kinda working, servers are now 0% for the moment.

I will see with time if it's still good, but thank you !

@Mizvchi 

Great! Hopefully, you're good for now. If you don't power cycle very often, it would be good to do to that more frequently. Especially if you start seeing changes in your connection in general. Slowness, lag, disconnects, etc. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

apex is the only game that i have packet loss on. Every other game i play i run low ping and no packet loss, Every single game i play im running about 10-20 percent packet loss. the icon show 0/20. can anyone help me with this its been 2 years

Hello, @Zton3yy 

Are you also on PC? Do you use a wired or wireless connection? Thank you.

Unsure if I should make a new post as it pertains to same thing. I enjoy playing Apex legends, primarily ranked, but ever since the start of this season I have been unable to play without packet loss. I can play normal trios and duos without a problem. I can invite friends into firing range and not experience any packet loss. Private match also shows 0% packet loss. The issue is only when I queue into a ranked match. I will have 0/1% while the countdown is starting and as soon as players jump from the ship it shoots up to 50/0 packet loss almost instantly. If I’m lucky to make it to the top 3 my packet loss drops throughout the game all the way to 0 by then but being that it is ranked I don’t have much of an opportunity to get any KP. So as you can see it’s almost pointless to play ranked with this issue. I’ve tried port forwarding, power cycling my modem and router. I got desperate and tried wireless as I’m normally hard wired and nothing has worked. 

what can I do so I can enjoy this game in a ranked setting again?
