I either cannot play with friends or I have problems connecting to a game in general. When I am in a party with my friends and I ready up, the game starts, only I get left behind in the lobby while they join and start the game without me. A lot of the time I get kicked from the the lobby with a "unable to connect" message being displayed to me. And I will also get messages like "player not ready" when I am by myself in the lobby. HELP.

The reason we ask you to make changes to your router @PlayasLounge is that there is nothing that we can do on our end to fix this issue as it is caused by your router or ISP settings. If your router is blocking or routing traffic in an unusual manner which is causing issues such as you are experiencing then that is something that you need to take up with your ISP. The issue is not being caused by Apex Legends but rather your router/ISP settings.

Why was this not an issue for the first couple of months I was playing and now it is? And why do I not have these issues with any other battle royale or online fps games? You guys should really look into it, and I want a refund for the money I put into this game. This is unacceptable.

If your router is creating issues for your gaming @PlayasLounge then you do need to speak with your ISP in relation to it. The steps I posted above have helped a number of other users fix the same issue that you are seeing.

So I bought a new router, made the changes you suggested and I still have the same problem. What now?

In that case @PlayasLounge the next thing to try is to speaking with your ISP in relation to them helping you set your console in DMZ. They should be able to talk you through the steps to do it and a number of users in the bigger thread discussing this have found that DMZing the console helps.

Same issue with me and my friends
This started when the servers downed
This issue never happened to me before the servers downed
This is not a connection issue its the servers issue
