Red connection symbols when playing Apex (Unplayable)

Ok, so first off, the game has been running amazing before the update. After i updated my game it lags like crazy, and the problem is connection wise. My internet is fine, i get 150+mbps, i talked with my ISP and they said everything is normal, no outages, no problems with my internet at all. So i concluded that the problems is with the servers of Apex. 

I have tried uninstalling the game, flushing my dns cache, repairing the game, everything but still no fix. When i play i get two different red symbols on my right top corner of the screen. One looks like a red speedometer and the other is two lines one on top of the other with dots on them. Every time one pops up, my character gets pulled back (major lag), sometimes it even teleports. Sometimes i even get both symbols in my screen and makes the game unplayable.

Now, dont you dare say "It sounds like you may be having issues with your connection" because the problem is not my internet and theres a lot of posts saying the same thing so were not the problem here. Everything started since this update. I cant even change servers anymore. Please fix this ASAP. I want to play The Hunt event but i cant even play anymore. 

Note*

EA made a post of certain issues and they showed the symbols im talking about, here they are:

  • It's likely not your ISP.  I ran one for 3 years and was a support manager prior to that. 

    I have an average of 107/12mbps connection which is more than capable for this game.  

    The game worked perfectly well for me before the hunter challenges update arrived.

    Now I'm getting booted spontaneously from the games, getting shot through walls and doors and for some reason when my team drops fastest possible, there are teams fully kitted in gold waiting and ready to kill us...

    I suspect cheating there, even though this happened twice in a row today after the latest patch. I am yet to play a third game due to the fact that I was killed by being shot through a closed door.

    I wish EA would stop trying to fix the petty stuff like ammo count and needed jumping, and start working on what makes the game playable... Like fixing up congestion and stop merging Aussie servers with the US servers because that lags so freaking hard!!

    Agree with everything you said and glad you shared this.

  • If your latency is 25 ms and packet loss 0% then lag is not due to servers. The problem is on your end only, probably your PC.

  • Can share what DNS you were using and what it is now? Also, what steps did you follow to change DNS?

    Some players have also been having success solving connectivity issues by changing the DNS manually to the Google one (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
