[PC] MEA MP - I can only connect with a handful of people in matches

   I've been a long time player of this, but recently, 3/4 of the matches I try and join , my character doesnt show up in lobby, my screename only, I cant see the hosts connection level or hear their mic, other people in the lobby, I can hear their mic , and if they host I can join, even with the player I cant connect with is there too, host leaves, and said player gets hosting duties, after 5 seconds or so "connection to the online session has been lost" it seems to vary in severity, but the last couple days, I cant seem to connect with anyone thats not on my friends list, I have been friending everyone I can connect with. Also if we switch, and I host and people I couldnt connect with before, still cant connect to me, its like roles reversed .

    What can I do? I have gigabit internet, on a WIFI 6E mesh network with full strength , wifi 6E on my Z790 motherboard, is there anything I can do ? I really want to keep playing, but its so random, players with sub 200 APEX ,I cant connect, players with 200,000 I cant connect, its all random and I really want it fixed, solo matches get old fast , how do I fix this???!!?

  • Nothing? This afternoon it seems I cant get a match going with anyone.......There asre many playing , but I cant connect with them, and they cant connect with me, find the right host and we can all play together, there has to be something we can do to alleviate this issue to at least a degree or two

    @MattF0124 Hey, that doesn't really sound like an internet speed issue. Your connection only determines how fast you can upload and download so having a gigabit internet speed honestly wouldn't affect this issue in any way unless you were on AOL dial-up then maybe.

    From what you described, it's more of a technical issue than an ISP issue. 

    Is there a way you can capture a video of that? 

    Also, Can you attach a DxDiag? I want to look and see the errors just in case.
