Re: Fix your damn servers

If it lags in every single game then it's either your PC or your connection.

Maybe try with cable and see if that makes a difference?

On the other hand it's true that often at specific times (usually from 18:00 to 20:00 GMT) the servers tend to get so busy that you get lag, disconnections or impossibility to login.

I wonder if this will change when Apex will come to Steam since at least it shouldn't need to rely on Origin login servers, I don't know if they'll get also more servers and run the whole thing over the way better (at least capacity and bandwidth wise) Steam platform.

    Still,
    try to get a cable, it's cheap and your overall connection quality will improve,
    it's not true everyone is experiencing it, or better yes it happens but NOT in every single game.
    It happens only at specific times when the servers are overloaded, if it happens all the time then it's either your PC or connection.
    Some games are more demanding than others in terms of connection speed, packet loss, ping and stability.
    If you want to check server status look on Google for Apex Legends status.

    @Meowmeowleader Do you try to play always at the same time in the day? Did you ever check server status?
    Maybe simply you play always during peak hours...try changing the time you play.

    @Meowmeowleader I didn't say everyday, I said try changing the time you usually play.
    Do some connection tests as suggested everywhere in the forums and post the ping and packet loss to the server you're connecting to.
    Also check your DNS: better if you use Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or Cloudflare 1.1.1.1.
    Is it possible to know your PC and connection specs?

    @Meowmeowleader And it took you 8 posts to say you weren't playing on PC and still you don't realize I told you to try playing at different times of the day. Of course now with the event running there are way more people playing, so if you always play during peak hours you'll get loaded servers more likely...
    You know if a person really wants some help then he/she provides details and follows instructions, you did none of that after a whole lot of replies, for what it concerns me I'm done, I said all there was needed to say, and also you titling a post "fix your damn servers" isn't going well at all, maybe learn some manners and also try to listen to people.
    Doesn't matter if you don't play for a day or a week if you always connect during peak hours.
    I can play without problems most of the time (I'm on a PC I built myself), it doesn't work well only during peak hours.

    Take care.

    well i think the servers could be better, the fact that no ones addressed the matter that the server are bad is frustrating. i’ve had prediction error/ packet loss for every season but s4.

    ive tried changing my ISP 3x, talking to my ISP, changing the location of my modem, changing DNS, forwarding the apex legends and xbox live ports, reinstalling the game, deleting EVERYTHING off of my xbox (friends and messages) and honestly a lot more than that. some down to earth help or actual insight on the problem itself would be fantastic. hahahahaha ben my pre game lobby is disgustingly laggy and i can’t even ready up.
