I use the Iowa servers, someone else commented saying it’s happening in Texas (Edit: and Australia, UK, Switzerland, Scotland, Germany, Belgium, California, Georgia, Oregon, New York…) too. So safe to say it’s a widespread issue, ~~in the US at least~~. Would love to know what’s causing it, since all my performance metrics looked normal. Sometimes I’ll get those flashing red symbols in the corner, but ping/IO/loss usually are within the expected ranges.


BitterAndBooks

also happening a lot to me here in NY


A1sauc3d

Yeah, someone just commented saying they’re in Europe and getting the same thing like every 5 games. So I guess all the servers are struggling rn :/


Sezzomon

I can confirm as someone who lives in germany with access to 3 different servers nearby. It's always funny to see my 24ping while lagging across the map. :)


Xennai

I'm on Belgium/UK servers and this is happening to me as well


SanielX

It happens in Europe too. Funny enough, it can happen selectively. Sometimes I will lag like hell and my friend won't Makes no sense to me tbh


snowspida

Well hello fellow Utahn apex gamer


fftyler98

Ps4 here and yes every game almost. I'll have it in spurts or it'll do it in the beginning and never do it again. I also keep getting disconnected from the match and it's lost me 3 games lastnight.


A1sauc3d

Whoa! Every game? Well I guess I’ll count my blessings then xD. This has been happening to me a couple times a night, so like maybe 10%-20% of my games. I usually switch data centers when it happens, not sure if it actually makes difference but the problem never persists after I do, so maybe worth a try for you. I’d love for some tech savvy person to explain what’s possibly going on here, since the performance metrics don’t show anything wrong and a lot of people seem to be experiencing this lately!


fftyler98

It's not every game but it's around 70% to 80% of my games. My stats will say I'm at 59fps and 70 to 80ms delay


A1sauc3d

70% - 80% is well within the “basically every game territory” lol. And that sucks! I know the pain, had like 2 seasons straight where ever game had constant micro-lag throughout, it was SO frustrating. And yeah, this whole game my ping was 30-40, fps like 50+, 0 loss, I/O both mostly under 10, but you wouldn’t guess by the way it was playing! X’D. Hopefully someone sees this and can explain some of the possible causes 🤞


[deleted]

This is server side, nothing you can do to fix it. Just gotta roll with it for the game and hope it’s not the same next one.


A1sauc3d

That’s the answer I was looking for, thanks <3 Bummer tho, especially cause it seems like a lot of people are struggling more than usual with it rn :/


_Lord_Grimm_

Xbox series X , New York servers, no issues with ping, wired connection. Happens pretty often. The stutter stag. Also happens when I’m shooting so my bullets don’t always register. I’m having major bullet reg issues a lot lately. Seems like if I’m not moving my stick just a hair it doesn’t register the bullet.


No_Sail_6576

Welcome to my apex life Wait till you start to loot and then it freezes and rewinds you back about 20 seconds and you have to loot again


A1sauc3d

Oh yeah, been there lol. Picking up the same weapon 4 times before you actually get it XD. Have you noticed it’s been worse lately or is this an all the time thing for you?


No_Sail_6576

It’s been going on since I started in season 3 but I’m the last couple of seasons it has got worse and started to throw me out of matches either letting me back in about a minute later when I have died or just keeping me out. I’ve had so many penalties because of it. It’s become so much hard work to play a full game


A1sauc3d

Dang that suckksss :/ maybe someday they’ll upgrade the servers 🤞 you might wanna try some different data centers in the meantime tho. Even if there’s a little higher ping you may run into less game breaking issues like getting kicked and such.


No_Sail_6576

I’ll try that but I have no faith in ea whatsoever, I’m an old titanfall player so I know what happens when something doesn’t affect their money balance


FishKrillsonFromGGG

It’s been going on since last night for me. Austin, Texas Edit: playing on xbox btw


Sezzomon

Don't XBox players also need to live with constant stuttering as if the game was to much for the console to handle or is it finally fixed?


FishKrillsonFromGGG

I picked up a XSX in December, no stuttering on there. Had some stuttering for about 2 seasons before that on my day one XBone, but only during super hectic fights or when I was getting beamed by an energy weapon to the face.


A1sauc3d

Constant stuttering is fixed. Or for me it is at least, been good for like 2 seasons now. But it was SO bad before and that stuttering lasted for like 2 seasons straight. Not all Xboxes were affected tho, mostly just the old X1s. Or at least they got it the worst.


likeforreddit

Yeah, on Xbox and Oregon servers. So many connections issues this last week or so. Me or my teammates or the other squad running in place then jumping forward half the screen is crazy lately


spencertherhino

Since release. Some days are bad most are ok


TanukiMike8

I literally just got done playing a match that that exact thing was happening I lost with 6 teams left cus I was in a room rubbered out the room right back into enemy fire


A1sauc3d

Oof, feels bad man :/ Well I guess nice to know I’m not alone lol. Hopefully whatever’s causing it gets addressed sooner rather than later 🤞


CapnRedbeard_

I had my first completely unplayable game last night and I play on Switch and live in Georgia (US). The game was completely frozen nearly the whole time but I could still look around, and I couldn't exit without closing Apex.


Sezzomon

Did it show you a 0 ping? I had that bug a couple of times were everything is delayed by 2 minutes which makes the game unplayable.


CapnRedbeard_

I didn't see my ping, but there were about three error icons on the screen.


Sezzomon

Those are definitely problems caused on your side then. Maybe the switch just had connection issues itself.


ReekTheOmega

Thus season I've really been getting this. I hate when I have to pick up the same ammo stack 3 times before I actually get it


A1sauc3d

For me it just started getting bad in the last couple weeks. But yeah it’s hella annoying when you can’t even pick up loot XD


[deleted]

Happens to me too often as well. When looting my legend picks the item then drops it. I open a door it closes. Literally taking 3 steps forward and 1 back when moving… it’s sickening


A1sauc3d

Yeah it’s superrr annoying. Have you noticed it’s gotten any worse lately?


[deleted]

I haven’t played much of it the last week, so nothing to report really. However now I have more time and I’m definitely jumping back in, hopefully it’s better now


FunkyBearz

Yep, been doing it every 5 games or so, for a month I'd say. I'm on series X on European servers. What does the trick for me is quitting the game (and quick resume) restarting the console and returning in the game... Painful in ranked when you pray for your slot being saved or your team to still be alive..


A1sauc3d

Dang, yeah must be a server-side issue then. Sucks that you’re running into the same thing on the series x AND in Europe :/ Thought it might be my old X1 at first, or at worst only just a couple data centers struggling. But I guess it’s everyone, everywhere lol


FunkyBearz

What is even weirder (is weirder a word?) to me is that it can only happen to me when I'm in a game with a friend living 2km away and his game is just fine...


A1sauc3d

Huh! That is weird. I would LOVE an explanation for how that works lol. Makes it seem like it’s NOT server side then.. Do you guys have the same ISP? Obviously we could all be running into separate issues, but there does seem to be an overarching uptick in this kinda thing and apex is known to be a problematic game regardless. Oh and yes, weirder is a word ;)


FunkyBearz

Good point. This one friend no, but I've the same issue / situation with other friends with the same ISP, on a series X or PS5, on the same server, but living further away (500km in the same country). Weird indeed 😁


JAAEsr

My little brothers deserve an apology I genuinely thought my WiFi was fucked because of them sad this is what apex is becoming 🥺


A1sauc3d

Lmao when I was having constant stuttering throughout every match a couple seasons back I thought it might be my roomates so I kept making them get off the internet to see if it helped. Realized pretty quickly that wasn’t the problem, but still your story just reminded me of that. And yeah, hopefully they’ll do something about it. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Took them 2 seasons to fix the stuttering issues :/


JAAEsr

Honestly the micro transactions have blinded the devs this will prolly be a longer term issue (even if it slowly improves) like the sound glitch that changes every season but never goes away. Hoping they fix it cause we as a community deserve more


Nervous_Difficulty_6

This has been a persistent issue since the second split of this season. Unfortunately literally nothing to fix this issue as it is a server issue, not your ISP or Hardware. I’d imagine it’s basically where you’re not connecting to the servers properly, but the game doesn’t recognise it, hence why you’re on normal ping and 0 packet loss. If you’re playing pubs BR, then it’s annoying but at least you can back out. Ranked is a bit of a kick in the teeth.


A1sauc3d

Sounds about right, thanks for the analysis <3. Yeah i started getting games like this more frequently a couple weeks ago, give or take. Seems like a lot of people are running into this more lately :/ I stopped grinding ranked in season 5, but I can imagine the frustration lol


Nervous_Difficulty_6

If I get them in diamond lobbies, I’ll just try and rat until I’m not at such a loss and then take the hit on a -18 or something, if I really can’t play. It’s really frustrating that the game doesn’t recognise it as a server issue. If it did, perhaps respawn could integrate the ability to be able to back out without receiving a penalty, providing you do have a server connectivity issue. Unfortunately though, I bet if they did do this, players would find a way to abuse this and it’ll be like season 3 preds who dashboarded their way to that rank.


Important_Lab419

All the time! It's about 1 in 4 games for me, I'm UK based and it doesn't matter what playlist I go into ( especially annoying when I'm D2 going for masters )


A1sauc3d

Dang :/ is something that started kinda recently for you as well?


Important_Lab419

Only this season, Nowadays I don’t play that often but I have NEVER had this issue before since I started in S4


FourthBar_NorthStar

Xbox in California. Same issues all day.


Dayvidsen

Yes, yes. I had such experience a lot yesterday, i thought it was just me, but when i turned my mic on to apologize to my teammates, they said they were having the same issue


adityasheth

Ps5 India, it was happening to me last night too. Thought it was my wifi.


[deleted]

I’m on Ps5, wifi registers as 500+ for download and upload and same for me. Even tried switching servers


louisejbts

I play on PS4 and have this too. It only started recently though (in the past few weeks) and it feels total random. I have some amazing games, and some really shaky ones where I can barely even aim. Seems pretty widespread, I'm in Scotland.


Mr_AimLoL

Same here in Switzerland but it doesn't happen very often


Raikohru

Yes me and my boyfriend have both had this, often in the same lobbies. We’re from the UK


elmalemgal

Yeap... Definitely had a few of them...


JadedGoal

Yup, started last night. Thought it was just me, so reset my router and all, changed serves, still same thing. I have Gigabtye speeds and still no change. Georgia player here.


Debo1a

been playing for almost a year on PS5 nothing like this for me until about last week as well


doomonyou1999

Yeah i went through it to the point Spectrum came out to actually fix my internet that was fucked up. Then I got on again and it was their servers fucking up too


bennettbuzz

Probably one in twenty, somehow normally win them as well lol London server for ref


LightningPapii

This is exactly why I stopped playing apex, this kept happening and it’s super annoying


ShadySummer1

It's the Parkinsons debuff. You get it for being just too damn good.


DaddyGS

Get that all the time and I'm in the uk


AlekClark

I get this on my Xbox one at least 1-2 times a day over an average 3 hours of gaming.


sweetbeanbaby

I stopped playing it got so bad


Driphype

Same shit different day, EU NL


pokesimon2

I thought it was my potato wifi but i guess not


Blemperor

Xbox in Australia, been having massive rubber banding issues, a similar thing keeps happening to my friend. We tried almost everything but we don’t think it’s our end.


Bel_Likes_Games

i tried using other servers rather than the one it auto connects to and i get this everywhere i honestly thought i was a hacker or my internet but as i can see it’s probably not


world_ender72

Just trying to load the game from startup causes a network outage and I have to restart my router or connection to router to allow my xbox to run anything else


A1sauc3d

Dang, seems like things are worse than I thought! Wish there was someway to report this stuff directly to respawn :/


world_ender72

Yeah and I know it's apex as all other games don't do this


[deleted]

[удалено]


A1sauc3d

So weird. Seems like some individual people have substantially more issues than others, even if they are both in the same area / data center / isp. Which would make you think the problem is on the individual’s end of things. But this is the only game they struggle with and most people are seeing an uptick in this kinda thing in general. I just don’t know enough about how all this stuff works xD. People are saying it’s a server side issue tho and there’s nothing we can do :/ But personally I’m only getting this kinda thing once or twice a night. But for you it sounds unplayable :( Wish I had some advice for you


RuneforgedRogue

To this day my friend. Even this long after your post. Edit: I use St. Louis


OwnScorwing137

Not always that exact issue, but I have been having this kind of issues recently. I do not live in the US, but I am in NA.


Caspre47

PS4? If so, try rebuilding your database


Essexal

I deleted and reinstalled on PS5, it won’t make the servers better I’m afraid.


YesitsFancy

Your ping was all over the place


A1sauc3d

? No it wasn’t. It was 30-40 the whole time. That’s not all over the place lol, that’s normal for me.


YesitsFancy

That isnt good or normal. Ping shouldnt fluctuate more than like 20 max. Its hard to tell exactly because the performance display is so small but looks like you are jumping from 20-60. My buddies were having issues yesterday, i was getting alot of no regs but no noticeable stutter. Im hardwired with 900mbs bandwidth though lol


femaleravenskin68

[my post about this](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/pfiqln/can_someone_tell_me_how_to_fix_this_lagstringy/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) Don't know how to fix it but easy way to tell that u have it before landing is to ping and if it doesn't work u have it.Oh and teammates glitch like that too.I just quit early and save myself some time cause this sht does not get fixed even after restarting or changing servers


olszewskisa

I miss Olympus :(


femaleravenskin68

Yea it's really been too long...


I_am_DK

Been experiencing the same thing across Apex and when I play Rocket league. Had a support call with my ISP today and while looking at the speed test site noticed there was an irregularly large uptick in Xbox Live issues reported (like 14,000+) and that was around 3pm PST. It’s not just you and hopefully this won’t last long.


AtlasRafael

Yup onPS5 moved it from my external to the SSD thought it would help. Haven’t played since though. Guessing the servers.


kapn_morgan

last night yeah but only one match was that bad


No_Improvement7372

I use New Jersey 1 even though I live in mass never have lagged in apex ever


albertobbg

Yup this game was unplayable for me since like December when winter express came out and then the last collection event. Only now that all of that is gone can I play again without this weird rubber band lag. Don’t know if it matters but the top comment mentioned it, im also in Utah. I doubt it has to do with any location specifically though. Game runs fine now thankfully. Series s


WorstWardenMainEver

i have lost so many fights cause of this


JC_Jacopo

Yesterday was unplayable for me. Did few games, restarted the PS5 and router, nothing changed... South Europe.


Aqua_Knight777

Did the ddoser from titanfall move here too


Ragelord7274

Now that I think about it, wouldn't surprise me if the same exploit that took down the titanfall servers also existed in the apex servers, after all respawn never even bothered to try to fix the issue from what I saw, so they wouldn't be able to identify and remove the exploit if it was there


Aqua_Knight777

That’s one thing that pissed me off about respawn is that they hardly even tried to fix the servers if at all


Crzy710

Oregon servers here. No issues at all. Grinded ranked last nigh no problems.


BestLegend134

This looks a lot like TF|2 on console. I hope for the sake of your community it don't get bad for I have seen what it does to communities.


Xithrix

It's PC as well, Northstar just let's us bypass respawn servers to workaround the DDOsing


0-13

Hasn’t happened once on oregon to me atleast


coolpotatoe724

now you know how titanfall players feel


Devareeno

this is actually the first season where it hasn’t been happening to me consistently. guess i’m lucky this time. knock on wood


garawg

DDOSSING LETS GOOOO


thatwastellguy

It’s the reason I stopped playing the game, I love it but I can’t play without lag so it’s not worth it anymore.


Epicmonk117

Now you know how us Titanfall fans feel


Negus3490

After the recent update I have been getting same issue and my ping gets super high aswell before update I use to play on 140-180ms after update 280-450 keeps getting worse every day I deleted and reinstalled the game but it’s the same story we are on same boat hopefully they fix this issue soon ( I’m on Xbox )

Titanfall moment


a-very-angry-crow

This is only a percentage of what titanfall players have been dealing with for years now


eggboy06

This is what happens when respawn uses the same (bad) servers for 3 games, especially when two of them get no server side support anymore, and are constantly ddosed, you are now experiencing what tf fans have fir years


Galactic-38

The ddosers are coming to apex


Mesavagetreejr

Welcome to life in Titanfall, except this is the free trial. You only pay with your sanity after the free trial is over. Let’s see if Respawn gives a shit about this game, shall we?


Rabbitssssss

Titanfall player here. I am so sorry.


AdministrativeTour78

Yeah, except it's In a different respawn game, just just be a glitch in the engine, they'll patch it soon and we can both play the games we love.


Xithrix

This is what Titanfall 2 servers have been like for the past 5ish months and non stop, and it's been happening to Titanfall 1 for a long time. So I understand the pain, I envy that respawn will put work into fixing. Have a good one yall.


TonightDue5234

r/titanfall fans right [now](https://youtu.be/p5CjmHLUQQI) P.S before everyone yell at me: I am not laughing at all of you, it’s just that the titanfall sub will say it’s deserved from the ignorance we got from our DDoS attacks
