Re: since season 9 started I have had horrible packet loss and can only play arenas

Hi!  Thanks for the tips. It was my ISP and now the issue seems resolved.  I live in Ecuador so the closest server is South Carolina.  On a good day I can get 60 ping.  Any chance of EA putting a server in Mexico or Northern South America?

    HI!  I called my ISP and told them that I was getting packet loss.  Finally, they admitted to me that they were having technical issues.  After some days later it got better and now I get almost no packet loss.  It was not anything to do with my setup but I did a couple of things that helped a little in improving a more stable ping.

    I used a new DNS server and tried various ones to see which one was best.

    Also, I ported to the Apex servers through Windows Firewall. 

    Seemed to have helped a bit but not transformative or anything.  I live in South America and the closest server is South Carolina so my ping is never under 70.

    On Valorant I get like 50 ping so why is Apex so bad?

    That said with 70 ping and no packet loss Apex is still playable and fun.  Arenas is better than Battle Royale. I have tried Valorant, Destiny 2, and Dirty Bomb but these games are boring compared to Apex.

    Even dying in Apex is more fun than shooting bots and moving around like a rusted robot.
