Is it possible to blacklist servers so that you do not get matched with them?

I am in Western Australia and my ping is never below about 75 and packet loss is always about 25% or more. Since the recent pc patch I have been finding myself in a server from Singapore or Hong Kong. Unfortunately every other match with players in these servers contains someone blatantly hacking.

I try and select the Australian servers when I remember too but I still find myself being placed in these games, so I have to quit and wait for the option to change server again.. kinda frustrating.

I would rather wait and play in a local server or not play at all over playing in servers constantly flooded with cheaters and hackers.

Care to share an image of your datacenters list, the next time, before you switch it off what it selects by default?

Why does it search for a match in EU if the intended server and client are both in the US? Strictly curious

It does not search for an EU match, for anyone but those searching for EU. While searching for a match [or creating a party, selecting skins, etc], you can be on an EU or US dedi.

You will find yourself in US or EU when searching for a match; your preferred datacenter is used only for matches.

You had us in the pipe, man.... 5x5

You will see some recovery now. I can't promise 100% speed on matchmaking yet.

Promising 100% matchmaking speeds. Last update unless something goes wrong as we top back out at 100% concurrency.

Someone accidentally overwrote the server build. We will have more preventative measures for next time. Speed is life.

What are X1 servers? How can I identify them from the data centers list?

Edit: Why am I downvoted, lol? Ya'll are babies

Sorry, X1 means Xbox One. :P

You will find X1 servers are down, near 100%. No immediate ETA; if our social team doesn't provide an update, I'll keep posting here.

Nice.

Of those, only fps_max is a real setting, which was mistakenly restricted outside of dev builds. As per https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/bxbaer/known_issues_post_patch_12/ , modifying fps_max will return, along with other settings that can improve framerate.

That is literally all I care about, that is going to be super fun and should offer a decent challenge for more competitive players. I mean, it's BASICALLY matchmaking which is amazing. It will definitely up the intensity of gameplay, especially as you climb the queue ladder. It will be great as well if they add some sort of associated tracker "Elite Queue High: 5, Elite Queue Wins: 5".

All the other stuff sounds great as well but this is definitely what I will be looking forward to.

There are trackers for your current and longest Elite streak.

Just crashed 3 times in the past half hour :( wish it was fixed for meee.

Do you get an error dialog? A vast majority of non-GPU-hang crash txt we've received, after the last fix, are out of memory (maybe a browser using a lot or Windows swap too small) or overheating or over locked CPU. Lowering in-game streaming budget or max FPS might help diagnose the later.

How about the crashes without any information? It just shuts down without a reason. I’ve been on a holiday since you launched this and I just hope that I won’t crash anymore. Many people are complaining that they are crashing way more now compared to before.

Are you saying you are crashing without writing an apex_crash.txt? Writing this text file is different than not receiving a Windows dialogue with an error. That error is rarely useful to us, and as we know, Windows won't always show it. This is why we write the txt file that has useful information about what code was executing and is more reliably written when crashing.

Do you plan to add a option for the logs to be send to you right after they are being created via a button?

It's "planned", but we wanted to get this version out ASAP, as with just <100 reports that we got, we were able to narrow down the most significant culprit(s). If anything, we're hoping Origin can help aggregate it and other system information (eg. what other software is running, if the client so chooses to share it) that our game may not have a chance to capture. That is, when crashing (eg. OS ran out of memory), we can't do much without crashing the crash handler. Or if it's another process crashing (eg. GPU drivers, EAC, overlays, etc), it can take our process with it, and the game has no time or knowledge to capture that.

Wow! I just check out some of your other work. Hold crap you’re incredible.

Thank you so much. Genuinely. Been playing all night with zero crashes after weeks and weeks of crashing roughly 1/3 of my games. I can finally just PLAY. Thank you guys, awesome job.
