A python 3 script that captures the game servers IP address written for Apex Legends
you can use this for any game just look at the UDP port via wireshark and change it
on the script.
Matchmaking issue : I wrote a python script that helped me log the game servers IP addresses i was connecting to, as I had noticed 2 out of 3 matches in ranked mode I was connecting to LAGY servers , turns out Apex Matchmaking connected me to servers on the other side of the planet (400+ ms pings) and not close to the region I had selected in the game's settings.

With the lagy server IP addresses in hand I was able to control which servers not to connect to, I use PeerBlock (an open source firewall) to block out the bad servers IP range. i.e 34.56.0.0 - 34.56.255.255

Hope this helps others out there that face the same issue.


The script is a python 3 console application you run it in windows command line or python 3 IDLE it also logs the IP address in a text file where the script resides.

Things you will need python dependencies
scapy module
pynput module

Also you will need winpcap to capture the network traffic http://www.winpcap.org/ do not get confused with winpcapy python module

To capture the IP address run the script, and once your in a match use hotkey (Shift + L )
you can trace the geo location of the ip using any site,a good site I use https://ipstack.com/

The script does the following
1- Gets your PC's IP address (to compare it later)
2- captures a UDP network packet on port 37005
(The network packet holds 2 IP addresses source and destination your machine and the servers)
4- the script compares which of the two IP addresses to log
5- after comparing which IP from the packet belongs to the servers it prints it out and logs the IP address to a text file. the log file will be in the same folder where you have the script saved.


Usage:
Run the console script and use it when your in a match hold SHIFT and press L
