How is it that there is still no servers for Apex in south africa. We get high Latency and since season 8 update its been even worse. Every game I hop into is over 230ms when usually it's at 190ms which is almost unplayable as it is. Come on guys we have a decent player base that loves this game but is becoming worse and worse. Respawn and EA needs to do something about this.

I'm also in South Africa and I have to play on either Belgium or London servers as the Bahrain servers I avoid due to low player count making match making impossible, I can live with 200-250 ping as I also play Sea of Thieves which also has a similar ping so the ping count I can live with, even if we get a local server I see low player count being a problem for match making being impossible seeing as we need 60 people to get the match going like with the Bahrain servers.

Also South African here, my experience is one game i am getting 140 to 150 on Amsterdam/London and then the next it's 220-250.
I have pulled the server IP's now from resource monitor and the game i was on was a USA based server did an IP lookup and it pointed me to Virginia Amazon server... i was connected to Amsterdam...
Use two different VPN's and both VPN's and my normal connection all had the same ping of about 220ms...
