I can give you a pretty good idea of what the issue is. Since introducing reconnect people have been having their games flat out crash. A lot. I have lost so many points to either games where my games constantly crashed (and I cannot reconnect cause soon as I do it crashes again) or my randos have the same issue.
Now, before this reco next stuff was introduced, the only time I have ever had crash problems with this game was when it first came out. Now in the last two days I have crashed 25 times. I just lost 36 points due to a crash fest where I tried to reconnect and it instantly crashed the whole game soon as I would get back in.
It's a nice idea, but I honestly hate the feature. Its brought about a crash bug, and I'd rather have loss forgiveness then a teammate with no gear.
But this crashing issue is straight up dog doo.
Before you ask. I'm on xbox, its wired. It's the only game that's been crashing for me. I also play on PC. Saaaaaame thing. I pay for a stupidly high net package, nothing else is having this issue. Just apex... ever since the reconnection feature. Bugs.... bugs, bugs, bugs.

That's probably the issue then. Wireless is unreliable and prone to disconnects/lag. Especially when the signal has to travel through walls and/or floors. This gets worse when there are other devices sharing the same connection. It's worse still when anyone is streaming media while you're playing. Until you get wired, or at a minimum, closer to the router, this will continue to happen. You can try changing the wireless channel you're using. That may help. Also, you could try opening the ports for Apex. They are listed here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/.

Exactly the same as when they released the first Quest, high packet loss, high ping, infinity loading the quest.

Have you gone through any troubleshooting so far? Also, are you on a wired or wireless connection?

Do you have a PC by chance? If so let’s find out how your connection is reaching our servers. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot me the results? Instructions here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/.

Agreed! Servers have only gotten worse and nothing seems to be getting fixed. The server pull has been so detrimental the last few days it isn't even worth playing.
I definitely know it's not on my end as I have 300mbps download / 10 ping

There's a lot more involved than just speed. A racecar that can go 200 MPH isn't going to use all that speed on a road full of holes. If you are very frequently having lagging/disconnecting, we need to go through troubleshooting. Let me know if you want to do that.
