This is REALLY good. I want this as a poster next to my desk please.
What’s up! For today let’s recap a few things that happened today:

TWITCH RIVALS
Today Twitch kicked off Apex Legend’s second Rivals event with teams from North America and the EU competing all day long. I won’t spoil the results but you should definitely watch if you didn’t get a chance to. Where you say? I got you:

The Twitch Prime rewards can only be granted to one account so make sure you are connecting the right one to your Twitch Prime account. Once you have connected an account and logged into the game, it will automatically grant the rewards on that platform, and will not be awarded to any other linked platform or account.
To claim the loot and see the FAQ [you should read this before doing anythi...

Lots to talk about!
THE CRASHES
We know this has been frustrating for many of you across all platforms. We hear you and we take this issue seriously. Improving stability, performance, and quality of life is a big priority for us and we have a lot of work to do. We pushed our first patch out earlier this week and we’ve got many more coming [including one next week!]. We’ll always provide patch notes when these come out. No I can’t tell you what’s in it yet.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I REPORT SOMETHING?
We’re always listening and looking for reported issues. As you can imagine, when you drop your game out of nowhere and 25 million people show up in the first week, there’s going to be all kinds of issues, bugs, exploits, etc. discovered. Our customer service team provides daily reports and many folks on the dev team are finding and emailing links of reported issues across social channels and reddit. We’ve also got some rad tools that capture all k...
Read moreWe'll be doing some work on the back end to prepare for a busy weekend of many many players. You may notice some temporary weirdness like a party member showing as level 1 but don't you fret. No progression is lost and we expect any hiccups to be passing.
That is most definitely not mediocre. Love this style! Nice work and thanks for sharing.
We're aware of connection issues right now and investigating. We'll keep you updated here.
2:50pm PST: We've identified issues with players unable to log in / connect. Investigating.
My friends,
12:34pm PST: We have heard the reports and it appears that matchmaking is taking longer than it should and affecting all platforms. We are actively looking into it and I'll provide any updates to this post.
12:38pm PST: We've addressed the issue and seeing improvement. This may take time for some folks as things recover so give it a little time if you don't immediately get back in.
Ah dammit you guys found the next map.
Seriously though thanks for reporting this and capturing! It's been passed along to the team.
You are still able to play them by pre-selecting them in the lobby menu. Just don't pick any other Legend in the selection screen.
Edit: The issue also seems to be present on PC & PS4.11:10 pm PST:
Thanks for updating with the troubleshoot! Glad there's a work around but we're still working on it.
Is this to address some of the crashes people have been experiencing?
Unrelated but the crashes are something we're continuing to work on.
Hello Jayfresh ! Can you please share some info about upcoming (i hope so) update ? Next week, or in 2 weeks ? There is a lot of people on PC who experiencing performance issues on decent/good PC's, would be so nice to have some fixes for it ♥️♥️♥️
Totally hear you. I'll make sure to include those in updates next week. Appreciate the patience!
Ooh update is coming next week ?? This is super great ! Very excited. Thank you 👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️
I'm working towards doing a dev update post once a week at the least. Thanks!
Just wanna chime in as someone who also suffers from motion sickness in the game due to the head bobbing.
Love the game aside from this, and want to play it right now, but I can't. It's not worth playing 2-4 games to then feel queasy and nauseated for hours afterwards... So unfortunately I'll have to make the call to stop playing the game until there is an option to switch off head bobbing.
I want to post this for visibility, since there's likely many more like me who suffer from motion sickness in the same way. This also ought to be a very quick fix to just throw in an option that disables this, as it wouldn't affect gameplay in the slightest.
EDIT: typo
EDIT 2: There exists a ticket for this, if you want you can vote on it -> https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Motion-Sickness-Please-RE-don-t-forget-about-us-suffering-from/m-p/7456109#M1804
EDIT 3: Ooh, thanks for the gold, kind stranger! Also, thanks to the positive response and encouragement of this community in the rest of the replies.
Hey all, appreciate the feedback. We're listening.
Few things that would help the team understand how this is affecting you folks as we look into it.
- What Legend are you playing? Does this feel worse or better with other characters?
- When does it bother you the most? Sprinting? When weapon is drawn? When weapon is holstered?
- What FOV are you playing at?
- Have an examples of other FPS games you play that you don't experience this?
Let's just say someone is on to something...
Thanks everyone for the kind words. We've all been pretty shell shocked and humbled by this whole week. We love Apex and always believed it was something special but the response we've gotten is just unreal. We have lots of work to do. Lots of things to fix and improve, and lots of content to make this year. We're in this together now!
Thank you to you all for an incredible launch. So excited to keep it going.
I dont know where i should find things they patched today it would be great to know
Yep patch notes are coming very soon.
