Servers: lag, packet loss, rubber banding

The servers are not fit for purpose right now.

Almost every game has one or more of: high ping, packet loss, rubber banding, slow motion, stuttering intros, audio loss, even no regs again.

It isn't our internet connections, it's the quality of Apex's server infra and networking code.

Players shouldn't die in the middle of fights because of packet loss and other networking problems.

    Im on the older console generation and i feel like it hits even harder with the strain on a 7-year-old console. Good luck getting an answer, all they ever told me was to take apart my Xbox and dust it. This is not a joke, they actually told me to do this....

  • Yeah. I mean, my PC is a few years old. But it ran Apex fine before

    Now I'm getting CONSTANT stuttering. I wouldn't even call it lag, I would put it more as bad performance and the game not being super optimized I guess. But it also feels laggy then too
    But there is more classic lag overall as well. Rubberbanding and such, very bad loading of assets when you drop in, weapons not appearing, etc. I wouldn't say I experience it constantly, but I experience it more often than the norm should be.
    But that stuttering... If I'm unfortunate to get a hard stutter during a fight, which happens VERY often, that's a lost fight...

    Every game tonight has been a packet loss disaster. Your technical infra is embarrassingly bad after 2 years and billions in revenue.

    They will never upgrade the server to get higher tickrates or stable servers.i get no regs on apex legends.the servers are always in a bad condition.

    in this video (skip to 1/2 of the video)

    u see that shots dont reg.this happens again this season....

    i have this no reg so many times now on apex legends..

    when do we get Upgraded servers???????????

    i use the xbox series x

    only the console is connected to the router nothing else

    ping to Frankfurt 2(Frankfurt 1 is offline lol)is 8-11ms

    ea server show 0-4% packetloss sometimes and if i reboot the game 0% sometimes but ingame there is no packetloss icon because it only show packetlos if u reach a specific amount of packetloss.

    EDIT:

    and btw they added google servers on switzerland and they never mentioned it somewhere(ping 40 to that servers)

    @F0XYB0IARBLE So it isnt just on console? That is good to know. I definitely thought it was from my console being so old, or as EA Support would have me believe... The dust.
  • its been horrible for 2 weeks on and off, but tonight its pretty much no point of playing

    just connecting to the firing range is good, the datacenters are good, but then when the game server starts all hell breaks loose.

    im betting there was a banwave and someone decided DDoSing was a good idea. because the servers are whack right now.

    Naaa

    they put few servers offline

    6 servers i think

    they buyed some new servers from google to compensate wich doesent work...

    since release of the game

    bad servers bad audio but never changed netcode noticeable.

    i dont understand what they are doing.

    on bf 4 there was the same thing but they upgraded the servers...

  • I confirm these problems. Playing from South Korea on Japan, Taiwan, Singapore servers.

    Listed problems started since Season 8. In the evenings, lags gets worse and only about 50% of games are normal (without server issues).
