Hi,As of late (around 2 weeks) my ping in Apex Legends have bounced up to around 200-220 every 3rd to 4th game. This happens randomly although my internet connection is wired and stable. I'm from Copenhagen so I regularly play on the Frankfurt or Amsterdam datacenters that typically have 20-30 server ping.All my drivers are ofcourse updated, i do not run unnecessary software in the background and my internet is superb. What could be the issue here?

@Godisbullen So far about it hasn't happened after I changed IPv6 too! Very hopeful, but gonna give it few more hours before I am sure^^ Gonna update later

@Godisbullen So it has happened 1 out of like 20 games. It definitely helps, pretty sure I can say that for sure! Thanks a lot for the tip🙂 Apparently its not a 100% fix yet tho, but can def recommend that others try it too

@Pfeffeleffen I've sent you a VPN that you can use for free until EA fixes this issue. If your friend need one as well you can hit me up with a PM.

Random high ping every other match

@Adem9x I've got some friends that have had similar networking issues when using their ISP-provided router.
I'd advise you to try and connect your fiber converter directly to your PC (if you have fiber) and to see (by process of elimination) if your router is the issue.
Note that your fiber converter don't have a DHCP server, meaning you'll only be able to connect one device at a time.

I have the exact same issue, and for me it started last week. It is rly frustrating! Cant seem to fix it. Internet is fine ofc, and my normal ping will be 20-50 on EU, and when I play on NA its 120-150. But every 2-4th match on average, I will get like 230 ping for the entire match.

@Godisbullen I sadly don't have fiber, but have 200mbit download and 30ish upload. Any other ideas that might work? I have tried changing my DNS adress.
And picking different servers ain't the issue aswell, cuz when I play on NA it will happen too. Usually im on EU, and my normal ping is 20-50.
Also had this issue since last week, started randomly 1 day and hasn't stopped😛 3rd game on average it happens

@Adem9x Oh and I'm also from right outside Copenhagen btw. Wonder if that could have anything to do with it

@Destrrr0 Are you using google DNS? I'd recommend trying Cloudflare.
IPv4: Primary: 1.1.1.1, Secondary: 1.0.0.1
IPv6: Primary: 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:64 Secondary: 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:6400

If this issue only occurs now and then, I also suspect that its the current server that's the issue. You might be placed somewhere far away even though you selected a low latency server that were close to you.

Maybe this guide can help you block some of the high latency servers.

@Godisbullen Thanks I am gonna try their DNS right away. But I do not think it can be the server, cuz if I play with people also from EU, their ping will be just fine. If it is ingame server u mean ofc🙂

@Godisbullen Oh, and apparently I were using Cloudflare's DNS. But only the IPv4. Hadn't changed the IPv6, so lets see if that works!
