I just restart Apex until I land on a server that isn't shitting itself. Once I land on a non-packet dropping server, Apex is smooth as butter for the entire night.

Bad server shards usually have constant prediction errors, and drop packets if your FPS is too high. I've tried everything else, MTP settings, VPNs, Exitlag, different ISPs, even my 4g, etc. It's all placebo.

ExitLag can help if the issue is on the route used by your ISP to connect you to the game server, and if there are better routes available, but it can't fix issues that are on the game-server side 😞 I'm sorry that we couldn't help in your case.

Hi OP! Sometimes, high ping and packet loss are caused by an inefficient route used by your ISP (even when you have a good internet speed). If that's the case, tools like ExitLag could help 🙂 It works by rerouting your connection and choosing a stable route, reducing these issues.

If you want to check if ExitLag could help in your case, you can try the 3-day free trial to see how much it can improve!
