Server connect

Server Connect

most of the times when i Connect to server Amsterdam it sucks in game. Always i have  low ping no loss. Biut somtimes i have a good connection with same Ping and loss .  Why i dont know. 

in game when i  have bad Connect it feels like getting hit Before and after the opponent had line of site or They one clip me like i am standing still. But when i have good Connect the game and fights feels great. Smooth. 

why i think its server is when i have good Connect like die an hour the game always gets an error en have to reconnect to server. Then the game sucks again. 

yesterday whas playing ranked. Won a few then game disconnect in menu. When restarted i couldnt hit a pig. 

please help

    Hi @Boe_Its_johnny

    It is weird that it would be happening randomly like that. 

    I'd like to try some troubleshooting to see if we can help get a more stable connection. A good place to start is with the basic connection troubleshooting steps from the EA Help website. If the same issue keeps happening after that check out the platform-specific steps as well: 

    - PC

    - Xbox

    - PlayStation

    Let me know how it goes once you've had the chance to give it a try. Thanks!

    Hi 
    @EA_Kent,  thanks for the reply

    I did the trace. And below are the result. At the evening its like that the enemy knows exactly where you are and before line of sight for me they already start shooting. 

    my friend has the same problems we play together. He has fiberoptics i dont. His ping is most of the time 10ms or less. We both chanced dns to google. 

    For us it feels like we are connected to a server thats not in holland. Is it possibel that we are connected to amsterdam server but the servers communicate between for exampel Amsterdam and us or somewhere els? It feels like they see us a second earlyer then we see them. Got to say mine modem is about 20ms off in the evening. you can see that in txt. But why i dont know. I have a connection from ziggo off 307.5mbps and up 30.9mbps. 

  • Hi @EA_Kent 

    Yesterday i forwerded the ports from ziggo modem. And stil it was happening. Lost fights that normaly i should win. And in the midday i would defently win. But know it was like shooting at a targed that was hopping left right and shots will not hit.

    Yesterday it was happening again. When googling this isseu i found this https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/servers-netcode-developer-deep-dive?isLocalized=true       

    • Using real-time alerting that will allow us to identify problems and respond more quickly
    • Implementing tools for identifying servers so we can remove and replace problematic servers rapidly
    • Focusing on slow-mo servers—removing problematic servers is one step, but our goal is to make this drastically less common with code changes
    • Reducing latency with better optimization of new features
    • Fixing hit-reg bugs and building automated detection tools to help us avoid introducing new ones

     If i analize mine problems its not connection server but interaction of servers between them selves. Because i am connected to amsterdam but i play against brittain germany belgium and russia polen and africa and even china korean you name it. I think there is the isseu not mine connection because thats good. You can see and feel the differens when i happends and it happens a lot almost always in the evening. while mine connection is good and mine friends is perfect. 

    if you watch mp4 WARNING sound off or low i wash yelling. This could be a cheater or not because this happens a lot. https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ar42WaH-yE2uvklY29FG78z29QiZ?e=rftv6b

    @Boe_Its_johnny 

    It's possible there could be an issue with one of the nodes in between your home network and the servers. Have you tried reaching out to your ISP to see if they're aware of any issues at one of these datacenters?

    @EA_Kent 

    I called them. They checked everything. The Guy from my  ISP ziggo is known  with the game. And hé checked mine connection and even my pc settings and monitor settings. Hé even checked mine Ports from modem. After That he confermd that it was a platform problem. Because mine friend had the same isseu and we know that a friend we game with, has a better connection. But hé lives in Amsterdam. We live in Brabant. About 100km away.  We bouth love the game but we try to play but after 3 rounds or 4 we juist give up because it sucks to be one clipped or shot before sight like the vid. They les than 1 sec down me. Mine flatline doesnt shoot that fast.  End when for Some wierd Reason we have a good connect we love the game.

    Greetings John
