In addition to the changes to sound and its bugs (so relieved you guys have been hard at work with it!), has there been any consideration for changes to the sound mix itself? Footsteps and gunfire just seems... inconsistent at times.

Also the kicker here, Mirage. You've mentioned about adjusting his ult, particularly the cloak and changing variables like hue and brightness, but his passive seems to have been left out. Any hopes of a change there? People love Mirage, I love Mirage, but he just feels a little lack-luster at times.

Any more detail you can provide on footsteps and gunfire inconsistency? We definitely spend a lot of effort on ensuring a detailed and comprehensible soundscape and want to ensure it is working as intended.

After recent balance changes it is clear that Mirage is slightly underperforming compared to other Legends. No plans to share at the moment, but we like to take a holistic approach to balancing characters to ensure they're where they need to be.

Hey guys,

Any news on mouse/aim sensitivity being affected by FOV changes such as Bangalores passive and Bloodhounds ultimate? Can we get a slider added to turn off FOV changes in ultimates/passives?

I'd have to check if its on the list - so no promises, but I'll do some digging.

While you're here can I ask have you had a mostly positive reaction to Gib and Bloodhounds status as LGBTQ+?

I personally love it and really appreciate the representation in a game in a genre I love where I never see myself reflected much at all.

From my POV it has definitely been a positive decision for the game. While the dev team definitely has its fair share of cis white dudes we do care about representation and take it very seriously. I see some comments in this thread about it being some kind of PR ploy, but in reality we really just want to represent a world and characters that are unique, wide, and interesting - just like the playerbase. It's been awesome seeing the community latch on to and rally behind their favorite characters for whatever reason they like - whether it's their abilities, personality, background, orientation, or anything else.

What I wasn't fully expecting was the impact ping has had for women or people who usually get toxicity for using voice comms. That has been incredibly cool to watch.

I prefer referring to it as my double chin, but I guess you could say it's a fat neck.

Yes.

The FOV change is not the cause of performance issues, but rather there's a lot of stuff being drawn when their ult is popped. I do not know when it will be live in the game, but we do have a potential fix in the works for the performance issue. Performance probably won't stay 100% stable even after the fix - but it should get to a place where it doesn't drop as severely to the point where it hinders gameplay as much. I have not personally tested the fix, but I have lots of faith in our programmers :)

BUG/PS4 Pro/happens twice a day at least : Blue screen crashes sending me completely to the menu has not been fixed whatsoever. I understand you guys love PC and PC players but most people are playing on console. It's getting to the point I'm about to quit playing and I'm lvl 110 with 1500+ kills

Are you getting a specific error message?

We love all platforms :) PS4 crash rates globally are quite low, so it's surprising to hear you're having this many issues.

Are you guys aware of the Bloodhound Ultimate FPS drops?

I've seen a few threads on people experiencing FPS drops while using his ultimate (myself included). Makes me avoid using it which is a real shame. Any way to tone down the graphics during that segment?

Yes, we're aware.

Just wanted to let you guys know that we are actively watching threads like this. Additional reports, including what you were doing when the crash happened, are very helpful.

One request, could y’all please add a resolution scale? I don’t mean adaptive resolution, but allow me to set a percentage for the game to render at consistently. Same way OW/Destiny 2 do. Would really help us 1440p monitor users wanting to play at 1080p.

No promises - but how would you like to see this implemented, if we were to do it? I've seen games that provide simple steps (50%, 75%, 100%), or a slider/number input - wondering if there's a best-in-class out there. Additionally, any desire to expose supersampling? We provide dynamic supersampling, which essentially renders up to 4x the pixels if your GPU can handle it - but its dynamic so that it maintains the requested framerate when possible. Would there be interest in, say, rendering at locked 4K on a 1080p screen?

Again, no promises on ANY development work going in to this at this point - but I'm interested in hearing feedback. Thanks!

Congrats, you won the weekend.

Hello dko5, thank you for replying my question.

When I installed apex, the game wont let me change the aspect ratio and resolution. But like 3 or 5 days ago I am able to change the aspect ratio and resolution. Then on the next day when I tried to launch the game, failed to creategamewindow error popped up.

My laptop is capable of using resolution like 1280x720 on 16:9 and etc. Its working with other games. I really love playing apex and turning down the resolution is a massive fps boost for me.

I think I just updated my nvidia driver to the latest one 2 days ago. Anyway I will try to do a clean install of my gpu driver. A quick question, which one should I do clean install? I have two graphics card because im using a laptop, the nvidia one or intel? And is there any specific version you want me to clean install it?

Thanks again.

Install the 417 version of the NVIDIA driver, and then make sure that the NVIDIA control panel is set to use the NVIDIA GPU in Apex instead of your Integrated graphics.

I’m actually worried that they’re still investigating crashes at this point instead of fixing. It means they’ve been unable to recreate it which makes it incredibly hard to fix. I don’t think Respawn has the resources to dedicate a ton of people to this while also doing other stuff. Sucks.

There have been numerous fixes already deployed. The nature of a lot of the PC issues have been tough to nail down for everyone and their configurations - but rest assured we're working day and night on it. Then there's the additional wrinkle that even if we've fixed certain issues we can't just package that up and ship it out to you guys immediately - releasing a patch requires a lot of time from QA to ensure we're not breaking more stuff, and then it has to actually go through the process to get in your hands. As a result we tend to do slightly more fixes in a single patch when they're riskier like that so that we're not multiplying our QA time across the board - ultimately getting the game in a more stable place for everyone, faster.

Thanks for the patience. With tens of millions of players its been quite the, ahem, "adventure" getting to the bottom of some of these issues :)

Any updates on hackers in asian servers? It's starting to get VERY out of hand

Edit: made a post about it, just FUCK chinese hackers https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/av9syx/we_need_to_talk_about_hackerscheaters_in_asian/

As mentioned in a previous update - we've banned tens of thousands of cheaters and continue to ban more every day.

Please report cheating/hacking here - https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

Colorblind settings need serious fixing. Can’t see the red crosshair against a lot of the environmental backdrops. Please change something. Love the game but it’s tough to play like this.

What type of color blindness do you have? Are there any games that have really nailed this feature for you personally?

Seems the crashing fixes are biased towards Nvidia, what about us AMD folks who crash 1 in 2 matches even after following all the troubleshooting steps? Funny enough the game worked fine for the first week, after I bought the founders pack is when the game started crashing to desktop reliably.

We're working with both AMD and NVIDIA. Have you tried going through the troubleshooting thread? There are recommended driver versions that you should ensure you're running as well.

Additionally, I've seen a lot of people with issues that go away once they stop overclocking their GPU and/or CPU.

Hello, could you guys do something about the resolution lock? It seems my game resolution is locked and there is no other resolution and aspec ratio available to change ingame. Only one resolution available and that is 1366x768.

The aspect ratios and resolutions shown in game are pulled directly from what Windows reports your machine is capable of. I would suggest a clean install of your video card drivers, perhaps.

To add to this - I noticed this post only mentions crashes on PC. I have been crashing on Xbox rather frequently for the past 5 days. It happens at random, I get the red clock/timer icon in the top right of my screen and the game freezes. Then I am D/Ced from the match and party chat. It is getting extremely frustrating as this happens roughly every 3 to 4 matches.

Also I have no major connection issues with any other games I play or other online activities.... And I was able to play the game just fine with no crashes for the first several days after release.

That sounds like bandwidth - are you on wifi by any chance? If so, I'd highly recommend going wired ethernet.

Best shotgun in your opinion Eva 8 or Peacekeeper? Seems like the debate started off 100% peacekeeper and people are now moving towards the Eva 8. Personally I miss the monster that was the TF2 Eva 8

I'm not Sean, but don't you dare sleep on the EVA-8. Personally I'm 50/50 on whether I'd prefer a Peacekeeper or EVA-8 if given the choice - if I want that oldskool Terminator 2 Arnie flavor or relive my OG Quake days with a tight spread and fast ROF shotty...

Dont know if you guys know about the bug after revive where your character is permanently slowed severely down. Might as well quit the game when it happens.

Yes you can full die and get respawns, just highly annoying.

Yup, on it.

If you're on the same connection, it probably has to do with the router you are using. Please contact EA support with your router model number and firmware version.
