Hi,
so since a few days I got terrible issues with Apex.
If I am in a game, 90 % of those games I have ping or packet loss issues. It's only in Apex, not in Teamspeak, not in Call of Duty nor anywhere else.
That is, if I am even able to join a game... First it needs about 20 - 30 seconds to show me available datacenters. Before that I can't click continue. After that, it needs another 20 sec to load my player profile.
And if I am at that point, if I want to join a friend or start a game - nothing happens for about... 1 or 2 minutes at least - they see me in the party, I can't see them until those 2 minutes are over. Then it takes time to press on ready (and sometimes it starts for them because I am "ready" but I am not joining in).
Now if I was able to join in the first game and we get out of the game I am back at the menu - and can't click on ready because it says "all players need to be at least level 10 to play ranked". And that's the point where I lost my patience for the game. Because this keeps happening since around 1 week now. And it's * annoying. CoD Warzone for example has non of these issues, so I am pretty sure it's not on my side.
I tried:
Reinstalling Apex
Reinstalling Origin
Did the Route tracing thing (see attachment)
So no idea what I am supposed to do... I really would love to play this game - but it makes no sense to wait for ~ 20 minutes to start a game, to then have massive issues which makes it litteraly unplayable because people warp for 2 meters all the time and then die instantly.
Please let me know if I can give any further information to help identify (and maybe fix) the problem.
Thank you!
Best regards

@xMortal-_-Wombatanswer is simple - Deutsche Telekom
Look up "Telekom packet loss" in google. In Poland they r named T-mobile and same * happens since like ... 2 years :D
Option 1 - change provider
Option 2 - buy good VPN and use it for gaming

So it really is the ISP... god damn...
A VPN really helps in that regard?
Well that'd be a good option...
Thanks for the info, I'll try it out
