Permanent Packet Loss and High Ping

Hello,

I am playing on PC that is connected to 500 mb/s GPON internet connection through the cable that is connected directly into the router.

No Wi-Fi. Only cable.

And I play on the Frankfurt 1/Frankfurt 2 servers which give me 110-150ms ping. (which is really high for me as a competitive player!)

Packet loss is constantly changing between 1/0 and 5/0. Almost everyday, randomly goes to 25/10+ and more.

How can I fix that? I want to get the lowest ping and no packet loss at all.

Please help me thoroughly, I have always played most of the games from EA but got into competitive gaming and stuck with apex legends

Hi @hoooyeoni,

There are some troubleshooting steps we can try which may help with the issues you've been seeing.

A good place to start off would be with the basic connectivity steps from the EA Help website. If you're still having any trouble after that please let me know. Thanks!

@iOverFreaked_u Hi all
Along side checking the ea help site EA_kent suggested,
What is everything you have tried to resolve?
Also, what modem/router combo are you using are they separate hardware or is it a 2 in 1? Do you have your own router/modem? How long have you had your equipment for? Have you updated your equipment any?

I have the same problem since s11. nothign was changed.
If i check the forums many people suddendly the same problem.
If some Games are without loss and some with it can only be a problem with the nodes to the apex servers.

Thank you for the updates!

Is everyone else in the thread in the same area, or are you having similar issues outside of Austria?
