Thanks again for the reply.
You are correct - I have tried pretty much all of these steps.
The game is a great game and I have supported it by buying Apex Coins.
Cheaters are are non stop battle and I prefer to play on local servers to lessen the disadvantage.
I have included my Traceroute and ping times just in case someone wants to take a look.
Anyways - keep up the good work mate!
Have you tried changing data centers after you timeout at the ready up screen? Your trace route starts to jump at hop 5 but since you're connecting to the California address it's expected to climb. I don't see any packet loss which is great.
Are you able to login to your router's admin panel and disable or enable IPv6 to see if you have improvement?
I always change data centres at the start of every match to my closest.
I logged into my router and disabled IPv6. It didn't really seem to have any effect.
I do notice when I get pushed to laggy, further away servers though- it feels like i'm running under water or through sand. Everything is not as responsive.
That's why it would be nice to have a command to check current ping in match.
