Re: Lag When Fighting, Every Game

@EA_AljoI play on pc. I have tried many things like server switching, making Apex run as amdin and changing power settings. I use a wired connection (Ehternet). My friend is also getting lag spikes but not as much as me

@EA_Aljo  I can confirm it is the servers. I looked on the webiste below and it says Sydeny servers are 55 ms for a tiny bit of time then pops up to around 500 ms for a while

Also I disabled everything (if it wasn't low already) and the game runs a lot better but still lags

@Federal_Seeker 

Thanks for all those details. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot the results? Instructions are here.

 @EA_Aljo 

Here is the screenshot

@EA_Aljo
I have new information. My pc can run Apex Legends at minimum and mostly recommended EXCEPT for VRAM. Also it take 100% memory to run Apex (2,175 Approx). The servers said they were good I presume but the game still lagged with 100% Prediction Error

I am trying to downgrade my driver to a optimized Apex one. I will share once I have results 

Edit: I downloaded a driver that helps with Apex Legends. The lag still happens from servers but it is hugely reduced, and I even got kill leader.

@Federal_Seeker 

Can you run this test again? You didn't send 100 packets so when you run it again, make sure that happens. Also, are you running this test on a wireless connection? It looks that way. If you are, make sure it's run on a PC with a wired connection since that is what you play on. Thanks!

I am running the test on a wired connection (Ethernet Cable)

I am not completely sure what you mean, so here is the screenshot with packets

@Federal_Seeker 

Do you see the column that says pkts r/s? This needs to get up to 100 before you stop the test. You're stopping it at 42. This is step 7 in the test instructions. That will explain it as well.

@EA_Aljo Ah. Alright I will run it again. Also, does it need to be exactly 100 or can it be over 100 because 1 of them takes awhile before reaching 100.

@EA_Aljo I sumbited both tests

@EA_Aljo
I saw somewhere the prediction error was caused by congestion and packet loss. I do get some congestion in game. I also get prediction eroor WITH latency in both battle royale and arenas. The game is currently unplyable for me because the game lags so much and when I am fighting especially.

@Federal_Seeker 

It's fine if you go over 100. From the tests you've submitted, I can see you have a higher than usual ping for being on a wired connection. Are you using a powerline adaptor by chance? Also, I'm seeing very high worst pings and a slight amount of packet loss before you reach our test server. This looks to be an issue with your ISP. You can try using alternate DNS settings with the instructions here. Also, opening the ports for Apex may help. They are listed here.

@EA_AljoI lowered my in game txtures to disables, adaptive resolution fps target to off and TSSA to disables. It seems to help. Also yes I am using a powerline adaptior

Edit: I changed my DNS to google. I will test Apex later

@EA_AljoI found that the DNS change really helped I will keep trying and get back to you on how the game runs

I have nailed down my issue to the server and in game settings. The significant difference in game is Texture streaming budget, if i put it on disabled I don't get much lag at the cost of blurred textures, if I put it on very low the game lags an extreme ammount 

bro I really have that kind of an issue too. there is no problem with my connection when I play arena in the first matchmaking, and then in every 2nd or 3rd or maybe 4th game is always getting high packet loss around 15-40%. it always happens everytime i boot my pc. I don't think that's because of my internet, because every other game I played does not have issues with packet loss or latency. I assume that is because of the server itself, well I am playing in Singapore server, in the main menu, it says 29ms 0% but in the game that issues appear. is it true setting the DNS will fix the issue?

@Federal_Seeker 

I'm glad to hear the lag issue is resolved. There are a few possible fixes for the 100% CPU problem you're facing. One is to update the Nvidia graphics drivers using the express method and then launching the game through the GeForce Experience. Another possible resolution is to update the CPU drivers with the instructions here. Also, it could be related to Windows Defender. Try the steps here and see if that helps. Lastly, there has been some luck with updating the EasyAntiCheat folder with the instructions here.

Please let me know if any of these possible solutions help. Thanks!

@EA_AljoThe game runs pretty well now, instead of micro freezes, it is now stutters but only sometimes. I beleive I cannot run textures due to bad optimization for this season, as for prevouis seasons I could run it.
--Thanks, Federal

@Federal_Seeker 

I'm really glad to hear there's an improvement. As far as the textures go, have you tried setting Adaptive Resolution FPS Target to 0 in the advanced settings?

@EA_AljoI don't know much about how servers work but I have a theory. When I have textures on it causes some kind of bug in the servers, making them unable to proccess my incoming gameplay WITH the textures in it, without the textures the game doesn't have to worry about replicating the map (the game replicates the whole map to keep the game real world) with the textures in it so it can run smooth.
