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...

@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

@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!

    @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
