At that time, were you playing solo or premade?

@EA_DavidThank you for replying to one of the threads discussing this issue. I had a break for a couple of weeks before S2 launched, and it was like this when I came back for S2. The only thing I can remember that I last did was join and leave a few games to test performance on the drop for my stream (I was having performance issues with the drop after a previous patch, 1.2 I think) My experience is the exact same as the Youtube video linked in post #8

In the video, 1st clip is me winning, and I believe the two on my teams are cheaters. 

After that, I haven't been able to play Apex since. 

2nd clip shows me queuing for normal game(s). All my normal games are like that.... 

3rd clip is me being in Ranked queue for 2 hours and 15 mins, sped up by 500%.

What I've done to fix:
Reinstalling
Tried on different PC / Internet
Repairing
Run as admin
Queue with a friend

I've made another account to see if it's hardware related or account - I am able to play fine on my 2nd account, instant queue, full squads etc. 
I'm currently level 3 so haven't tested in Ranked, but I assume it's gonna work there too.

I honestly don't know what to do to fix this.

Experiencing the exact same problem.

When I start searching for a game, there is maybe up to 8 people in que. The game starts, some asian bots appear that do spam the text chat (as seen in posted videos), they leave once the dropship starts flying and I am usually left with maybe one other person in the ship.

 

It started with me not being able to que with my friends. It turned out to be me, because they could start the match instantly after I have left the lobby.

At first i thought it was a network error. I contacted support and already tried all possible solutions and figured that the problem doesn't have to do with my settings. I pretty much always played with a 3man premade lobby, so we barely had any randoms join in. We encountered tons of hackers in the last few days in platinum ranked, but it seems only I am affected yet.

 

I realized that I always seem to get redirected to one specific server. It's always the same bot names and my ping on the servers is above 180 (red logo in the top right), so it probably matches me in some SEA server region. I tried choosing another data center, but i always seem to get redirected to the exact same one.

Is this redirection thing worth a shot?

 

It only seems to affect one account, as people can play without problems on their alts.

 

Hope this gets fixed asap. Spend way too much time grinding for everything to be lost.
