Came back to Apex after about a month away to check out season 7 but im getting 1 out of 3 games with a decent-ish server. Keep getting that slo-mo intro/hero selection phase thing and the server eventually dies before the game starts or i get put into a server with a ping of seemingly 1000 where everyone is moving around one frame at a time. It gets a lot worse during peak times. I seem to find far more good servers during the day. Not sure what's up.
EA Staff (Retired)@EA_IlliumHi, Im on Steam on PC. Those issues seem to have disappeared for the most part but since yesterday im getting a ping of 500 to singapore servers every 3 games or so. Sometimes twice in a row even though my ping to the data centre is 80. Just played 2 games with the normal ping now then it went back to 550ms in the next 2 games. I switched to HK servers to check and it worked for a bit then again 500. Not sure whats up.
Edit: This only started happening with Season 7. Ive been playing on Origin for the past few months and this hasn't happened once.
Edit 2: Ive had a look at the server list and it looks like there are 2 Singapore servers that have a ping of 500+ for some reason. I guess thats where the game is sending me. Like i said switching to HK made no difference. Looks like im gonna have to play in EU with a ping of 250 until this is resolved?!
EA Staff (Retired)Hey @TheRealestPepito We can try going through the steps below to see if this helps us with the high ping times.
