Apex lagging and using too much upload bandwith

★★ Novice

That last ingame update is litteraly unplayable for people that have limited upload rate.(Clients will now send user input to the server at a higher rate.) And im asking devs to make the game update only outside the game(like Origin platform for PC) and lower that packet sent by user cause its super unplayable, for me i cant play the only game i love to anymore.

- This was an ingame update which i said its not a smart move, the game should update outside not while people play for an ideal experience.

Thank you for your feedback and the team is dedicated to improving server quality. Which datacenter are you connecting to and have you tried any basic connection troubleshooting at all to see if it at leasts helps make the game more enjoyable for you?

Well, i have some advanced knowledge with how the connection getting used on my system so i would say that the game had an ingame update like 5 to 7days ago and started sending too much data the servers ive seen an patch note that said that the game now sending more data by user.
ive tried to track apex connection usage and the game was earlier using like 24kb/s upload max and now using up to 120kb/s and then my connection getting timed out cause it doesnt afford all that upload bandwith.

 

i hope apex fixes that issues asap and thanks for help.
