Re: How to fix prediction error on apex?

The only thing you can really do if playing on console is reset your network [modem / router] Don't know on PC. If that doest work then it's a EA server issue.

Prediction error (lines with dots symbol)

A prediction error icon is the one with two parallel lines with dots on them.

This indicates that the server has failed to predict the movement of another player, generally one you’re looking at.

The game tries to calculate and predict such behaviors to a certain extent to show them to other players faster, but a prediction error shows that these predictions are wrong.

This is also a server-side problem that you generally can’t do anything about.

The next time you’re playing Apex and see one of these symbols, remember to check the conditions of your internet connection anyway. Sometimes small tweaks can make a difference if you know what you’re doing.

    Yeah I have been resetting my modem and still it continues. I am chalking it up to the servers. I am wondering if it’s happening right now since everyone is home and quarantined? That everyone is hopping on and flooding the server. How it’s fixed. I’m about to call it quits. None of my other games do that. I’m upset

    I think your right it's because the quarantine going on.

    The only other game that I'm playing on and off is COD MW BR and that has the same issues. 

    The only way is if EA fixes it, I wouldn't hold my breathe. That's if Ea can even fix it since everyone is basically home. I know in the US there is about 30 states on lock down and at home. so around 85 million+ if not more.

    I was having the the same prediction error issue on ps4 I rebooted my modem and router. as of right now it still happens just not as much. I caught maybe 2 games last night that had the preditciton error.

    Even streamers are having issues on CODmw BR, and apex legends. From what I'm seeing.

    Damn, you hit the nail on the head. I also have the very same issue on both Apex and Warzone. However, I just moved to my parents like two weeks ago from my flat a little bit before the whole quarantine thing hit, so I'm not sure if it's because of the * internet here compared to the 500Mb/sec I got used to in the flat. I hope EA can fix it tho, the game is almost unplayable for me.

    I am on Xbox one x. I play on Oregon server. Apex has been having issue and literally UNPLAYABLE to me since the quarantine time. I have never ever felt those lag, stutter, freeze this much before. Since the season 5 it gets worse and worse.  Latency icon and prediction error icon, they both are driving me nuts.
