Really Bad Connectivity Issues For Apex Legends On PS4
My game has been lagging incredibly badly for the past two-months -- I've done just about everything to try and fix the lag. I've restarted my PlayStation when the lag happens, disconnect my PS4 from the internet and re-connected it, restarted my router, tried different servers -- nothing seems to work. I'm currently in the process of re-downloading my game in hopes that helps. I've gone as far as seeing if my console needed to be updated or if the game itself needed to be. Nothing.
I get pretty much all the errors that come with the game -- mainly latency error, packet loss, and congestion. I usually play the game when no-one is home, there are maybe three, maybe four devices connected to the internet at a time, and none of them are chugging the internet. I do live in a literal village, so my WiFi isn't the best in the world, but I was able to play the game on 1.0 Mbps worth of upload speed. My internet is currently running at 13.8 mbps download and 5.77 mbps upload speed. Apex uses 200 MB per hour -- I suck at math, so I don't know if my WiFi is even compatible with this -- other than that, there is nothing that should be making the game lag this badly, it even lags in the lobby too.
If anyone has any suggestions on what to do, or how to limit the amount of lag, that would be awesome. Connecting my PlayStation directly to the router is out of the question because it is my landlords internet I'm using, and it's in his section of the house -- I live beneath him.
Hey @gloomyearthling.
Let's take a look and see what we can do to help out with this. The best place to start would be with the basic connection troubleshooting steps over at the EA Help site. If you're still having trouble after that check out the PS4-specific steps as well.
Let me know how that goes when you've got the chance.
Thanks!
