Re: Server are laggin big time

Hello, @Crypticwaat.

Can you run another UO Trace and post a screenshot of the results here? Thanks!

Hi there,

Please find attached (ran the IP's via Pingplotter) these are two yesterday as you can see no packet loss only an occasional router that does not respond to pings.

Then easo which i quickly ran for 100 packets on WinMTR, as you can also see 0% packet loss to end target and just routers that never responded to all packets which is normal.

As mentioned in most of my posts, i have run IPERFS on my fibre line which come back with 0% packet loss both local and international and then also i play several other games in the same regions and have 0 issues.

Also when i switch to other servers such as the US server there are no issues.

Yes 145ms to London is high but the game runs perfect during the mornings and afternoons, it just get very bad during most evenings, this often just results in me switching to the Brazilian server, however population of the Maxihost server is low which results in waiting around for games. 

@Crypticwaat 

You're showing a very high amount of packet loss and ping times. There's a big jump when you hit the 6th hop. This is before you reach our servers so that would be an issue with your ISP.

That is not packet loss, those routers are not responding to all ICMP requests, if you also look at the packet loss they only occur on those hops, the final hop which is the most important is showing 0% loss meaning getting to my final destination has 0% packet loss.

@Crypticwaat 

Yes, when you see 100% loss, that usually means that hop isn't allowing pings. However, you're showing 89.6, 89.7 and 96.2. You also have very high ping times. This is all occurring before you reach our servers. What system are you playing on? Also, you could try opening the ports for Apex Legends. They are listed here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/. You can get some help with this at www.portforward.com.

Please see attached 350 packets ran right now and none of those 3 routers responded, in game it shows my packet loss as 0, i play with people from EU and they even agree the servers are broken they always seeing the networking indicators 

@Crypticwaat 

The 6th hop is showing high ping times. The next 3 aren't allowing pings so we can't see what's going on with them, but the ones after are showing higher ping times. Which most likely means the ones not returning data are also experiencing high pings. Regardless, it's looking like the issue is with that hop. Can you try pinging the European server also? I'd like to see if there are similar results. The IP is in the instructions for the UO Trace.

I am playing from South Africa... We not lucky enough to have local servers... These "high pings" are perfect during the day, but when night time comes and everyone is not at work and playing games and the servers are taking strain that is when the issues occur.

Apex servers have never been in a good state, i know plenty of Europeans who all play with 20-30ms that experience the exact same issues. 

I play Overwatch on 160ms and have 0 issues i have over 1000 hours in the game and never ever have i had any issues...

@Crypticwaat 

That same hop is still spiking. This isn't an issue with our servers as it's happening before you reach them.

Hop 6 is me landing in London hops 1 to 5 is my local traffic I.E Cape Town traffic hop 6 is when i exit South Africa into EU at London Telehouse it is not spiking from cape town south africa to London UK takes 141ms 

@Crypticwaat 

That is occurring before you reach our servers. That's not something we can fix. Did you try opening the ports as suggested?

I just can`t anymore with this game. Right now i can`t even play. Try to play right now and there is some delay/lag that just kill my gameplay.

I`m sorry but i`m running all of my other games, like CS:GO, Dota 2, and so on 100% perfect, and has zero problem with my connection.

Don`t you think its time to fix this servers? You need new servers to be fair. Both the tic rate and the lagging/delay part its just a pain and your losing a lot of playerbase because of that.

This should be your number 1 feedback towards the Devs/People in charge.

When i enter the game, my legend is invisible, when i enter firing range at the begining my weapon is invisible, this is because of the lag/delay or whatever it is.

I`m tired of installing/uninstalling/repairing the game.

I`m running high pc, with solid connection and i expect to play on stable servers.

I know its not your fault, but the people in charge should fix this, its too much of a pain, and when you add the cheaters problem, the horrible random teammates you are getting and its getting out of control ....
