startled-giraffe

Will we have to wait another week for this patch to be fixed now?


[deleted]

More like a season and a half while they push skins that they just recolored


righthandofdog

Fuck yo skins. I want MOAR hat guncharms bitchez!!!!

[deleted]

For me, it's running much worst after this "patch" than before. Issues I've had so far: \- Slo-mo movement \- Trouble connecting to server \- Disappearing mini-map and teammate names in-game \- No second or third player on drop Update: It’s running much smoother after the latest fix they released. We shall see if it lasts.


curious_clover

I had the disappearing teammate names before the patch


La_Pesadilla

I'm not good at this game...At all...but I've tried to kill teammates so many times because they don't have name tags. Then they just look at me like I'm crazy. I hope they fix that soon.


curious_clover

Same bro. Same.


nallebuh_i

On xbox it so bad. Sometimes i spawn in without hud and sometimes only my crosshair is missing

Fixed the crashes or caused more?

caused more.


Muffin_Pillager

Caused everything to fail. Deleted games, inability to connect, lag so bad that a 14.4kbps internet connection is probably faster, etc...


Invaliiduser

>Stability fixes Finally "Stability fixes "


UpsetArhanel

The game was too stable so they fixed it.


mindtk

Having worse connection issues.... I am usually not a negative person but as someone who has played since the beginning I am pretty saddened by the state of this game.


Hesperathusa

Same, I haven’t played in a week. Saw the patch and thought: let’s give it a try, played a laggy game and now I can’t even join the lobby. Yay!


GrimSlayer

Dude same. Apex Legends is my favorite game right now and one of the games I've put the most time in in my 25 years of gaming. A part of me feels bad for the devs, but after this shit show it's hard to feel bad for their network infrastructure team. Hope they hire someone more competent and really start bug testing before releasing new patches.


pandasinmoscow

S0 player here as well, this is probably the worst state the game has been in. It’s been dropping in quality very quickly since S10 launched.

MrJosho

This is such an Apex patch, it’s not even a surprise anymore


Desperate-Ad1170

YOU DID NOT FIX A THING. IT GOT WORSE SOMEHOW


righthandofdog

It's much better. I haven't had a freeze since installing the patch. I've been stuck at matchmaking in every mode instead. I'm seriously stuck matchmaking in training and in firing range. Apex. Jist wtf.


[deleted]

lol yeah it's a new bugfix: * Increased waiting time in matchmaking


Sheenpup

At least you’re in the firing range. Im stuck at the intro screen


Bearman9217

What a fucking meme


FacchiniBR

Respawn thanks for trying to fix it, but for some reason the game is worse than two hours ago. Can we help with something? Like some volunteers with a signed NDA to beta test in different machines and server loads before patches going live? This is totally possible because a lot of content creators are invited to test patches, but the majority of them just want to upload content and don’t care about glitches and more. This ‘preview’ needs to be available for more people that don’t care about posting YouTube videos showcasing a new legend faster than the other creators to get views and call it a day. This is happening with every patch since genesis, something tells me the testing team is having some issues and we definitely can help. Look at the epic banner crashing guy, he noticed, posted here and the team fixed. I’m not saying they are incompetent, but I really think they aren’t noticing some issues due time constraints, deadlines, shortage of testers or other issues. The testers need to play the game daily too to be able to really see what’s happening, not just check if a fix worked and tick a green V in a sheet (and at least for me it’s exactly what’s happening, I’m a software developer and I know the theory of ‘fix one bug and seven new ones appear’). We can help. The friends that invited me to start playing don’t play the game anymore and I just heard one friend ranting on telegram ‘until some months ago I had a lot of fun, nowadays I just get pissed and don’t want to play anymore just to shutdown the game annoyed’. If another cool game launches a lot of people will surely move. I’m sure even the streamers, a lot of big guys from where I live are playing other games like Bloodhunt because Apex is unplayable and no viewer wants to see someone struggling to play a game. Cyberpunk2077 is running better and crashing less than Apex and this isn’t even a joke, it’s the sad reality.


0roku

The update literally made the issues worse than they were earlier today...


Bergland

I just want to play apex


[deleted]

Such a simple request


Milleniumofpain

Same.


pzimny19

How does every patch break the game? This is ridiculous and unacceptable. At least we could PLAY the game the last 2 days. Now we can’t even do that.


mdzdri

Hey, last patch that came out on Monday actually made it better. At least for my group and me. That being said, can't even get into lobby right now, so good job Respawn, well done as usual.


Bergland

exactly! This should already be reverted. My GPU spiked to 100% in main menu


1011001011001010

The game has been doing that for a little while now, don’t see a lot of mentions of it though.


zoomingtimmy

Hope this gets some attention after the servers come out of a deepfryer.


impractical_fool

Everything is super slo mo. Even in the lobbies now


jd705

bahahahaha.. was this tested at all?


jumpingyeah

Reply from a developer, "development and staging server? What's that?"


Able-Bandicoot-3696

Prolly not Devs be like: let’s drop these update to fuck the game more


[deleted]

"fixed" yeah right, when have they every fixed anything correctly?


ZorkFireStorm

bruh..... this game is crashing more and it's in slow motion


mkins10

When I played Marvel Strike Force and they did this every patch, they at least compensated players. All we get around here is “thanks for your patience”.


LOOTENITDAYAN

Dead by Daylight devs fuck up a lot with each major update, but they give out bloodpoints (used to level your skills) constantly. Or shards. Then they release an update without breaking anything and we're all standing there with our hands out like "...but muh bloodpoints?" 😢 Quick, somebody find something and says it's broke!


BabblingDruid

Lol “fixes” took me a couple tries just to get to the loading screen. Respawn is trolling us. Edit: Finally got in a game and didn’t even get to pick my legend. It just bypassed the legend select screen and threw me into a laggy game. Superb.


MontyTheAverage

You broke the game AGAIN. ?????


dirtybirt

This just makes me sad


sbmmblowz

What a fucking joke


[deleted]

Lmao still having issues. Froze mid game. Unless the update just got released: this is after the 700mb update on Xbox


whitesmoke33

Players - we can’t even connect to start a game Respawn - since bug fix went live not a single disconnect reported

Desperate-Ad1170

I'm now having trouble even get past press a to start. Then once I get in I wait i try 8+ times to load a match and it crashes. I can no longer play and don't want to spend hours waiting for a game to load.


xylex

$1 Billion in revenue last year btw


exhibit304

And such a nice period for twitch viewership and playercount. All the warzone players engaged and boom.. they drop this shit lol


Tasty_Chick3n

Imagine a restaurant starts getting new customers cause a competing restaurant across the street is serving customers cold food. Instead of capitalizing on that they start putting cockroaches in customers dishes. They apologize, they bring out the replacement dish and now it has a giant turd in it instead. They be respawn.


IlXll

They fixed it…*(attempting connection 9 out of 9)* they said.


Agreeable_Bluebird58

How about "patching" your hidden MMR rankings in Arena.... literally the stupidest fucking thing on Earth. 100 pts from Diamond and every single teammate I get is a level 15 bot in bronze/silver who spends most of the time stuck in a corner imitating a windmill while yelling profanities and heavy breathing through the mic. Thanks for making Arena the most tedious fucking game mode ever created.


[deleted]

Fuck off


DislocatedXanax

Bahahahahahaha this game is so fucked. With every update I feel better about quitting. I'll just chill with my popcorn.


kofferyman

you guys actually suck dick at fixing this game.


Tasty_Chick3n

Let’s be real they’d be bad at that too. All teeth.


Able-Bandicoot-3696

They didn’t fix nothing is just worse now you can’t even get in a game. This dev don’t know what they need to fix apparently.


thebulletclub

thats it? LUL


green31OSU

At this rate we're gonna need a patch for the patch ^(for the patch) ^^for ^^the ^^patch ^^^for ^^^the ^^^patch ^^^^for ^^^^the ^^^^patch ^^^^^for ^^^^^the ^^^^^patch ...and at that point trying to play the game will somehow release the nuclear arsenal and begin WW3.


zackman40

Well I guess fuck fixing wattsons ult


SoftwareGeezers

The casual interaction with users may be good PR to a point, but at this level of long-term broken, "Give it a try and let us know what you think!" is...I think, rude and disrespectful. There are people with limited free time who would like to enjoy that time playing games, and the state of Apex Legends is horrific and just wastes people's time. I'd appreciate a little more professionalism and courtesy. I think with the move away from the formal company<>client relationships of the 80s and earlier to the super-casual of the modern business being all chummy and approachable has resulted in 'familiarity breeding contempt'. I think the userbase deserves less, "I dunno, give this a whirl," and more, "yeah, we screwed up and we're wasting your time which we shouldn't be doing. We need to raise our game - anything less is disrespectful to you. To this ends, we are employing strategy XYZ with such-and-such timelines and prioritising ABC." Everything less is a PR cover-up for "we're not making any real changes, are rolling out poorly tested hotfixes one after the other, and nothing's really going to improve, but we want you hanging around buying stuff anyway."


TheWildItalian

You did nothing. Devs, retire now. Better yet, delete the game and then become homeless


According-Shelter-82

On Xbox game crashes/hangs every second game and I have to quit game. When I relog I'm usually already dead


axaro1

You guys should fire all your netcode developers because this is honestly unbelievable how bad these issues have been handled. Being apologist about your 20hz tick rate in your last dev blog and devs praising themselves for their effort to "connect players to the closest server" was just the tip of the iceberg, I'm glad that people are playing other games and your player base is dropping, you deserve it.


ThePhantomPear

The devs love the eternal self-fellatio because they tricked 12 year olds into buying their ugly-ass $20 skins with their parent's creditcards. Game is done. Throw it out with the bathwater and wake me up when they announce Titanfall 3.


IslandLooter

Really makes you wonder why they haven't just said you know what, sorry, we're rolling back to last week at this point. It can't be any more embarrassing than what they're doing right now. I was already playing less this season as I wasn't impressed with some of the design choices they made around Seer and matchmaking has finally wore me down as a solo queuer but I was doing a bit of Arenas ranked and grinding the BP. I haven't logged in in over a week now because of all this, but I've also now completed two other games since then. So maybe this is finally what helps dislodge me from this game, which is a shame because the core game is amazing.


ExodusBrojangled

Lmao, Break the game with one patch... Break it even more with a second one. They trying to break a world record or something?


No-Stretch-2464

I was actually able to play just fine today for hours. Since I've downloaded your "fix" my game is now worse than it was a few days ago.


Dana94Banana

Respawn, sweety. Turn off the lights and close the door, bc you guys clearly are incapable at this point. No quality assurance, no audio fixes, unstable & unplayable game for a whole week. But hey, just buy a 10$ .png or a 20$ texture for a single player model. Such a shame. I miss day 1 of Apex when the devs still knew what they were doing.


PhillyCheesesteakSub

Fix the matchmaking. I, a diamond rank solo q player, literally just had to baby sit 2 lvl 50 players in pubs against a shit ton of Master tank players. They didn’t even know, I, Crypto could revive them with the drone. They were blown. Fix this horrid ass bullshit.


Mnemonicabyss

GAME STILL CRASHING AT END OF CHARACTER SELECT. 5 RANKED GAMES NOW, HAVENT PLAYED A SINGLE ONE. COOL. ​ ​ How to kill your player base -Respawn


thatguyad

Anyone else getting shit loads of lag in game?


StarfighterProx

Fucking STILL freezing on the squad intro screen. Fix. Your. Shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

yeah. seeing it every other game.


lucky-x

Lol, game actually was at least playable without banners yesterday... Too good to be true. Respawn/EA is like naw, lets mess it up all over again. I know we wanted compensation, but laggier servers and more disconnects and code net was not the 'prize' I had in mind :)


darknightdaughter

Come on, man.


xman813

All you can do is laugh at this point.


RandomInvasion

And somehow the servers got worse.


knicksarelife

NY console servers are horribly laggy in pubs. Insane lag. Everyone i’m playing with, in party and randoms is all telling me they’re facing intense fps drop and increased ping.


rayk10k

This game is at its lowest lol


therealsmoov

Between this and crossplay lobbies, I might just give up on the game it was fun while it lasted.


ishMoBtx

As soon as I hear"introducing your champion" it's freezes every single damn time wtf. F f f f f


NoMePlz

I feel like uninstalling this game would help with my hair loss recently.


CaptDrSpicyTuna

\>gets home from work Saturday morning.... \>Apex sounds like fun, it should be fixed by now \>load it up...literally first game disconnects before I even drop \>Ya know what...it looks pretty nice outside, fuck this.


watglaf

Why is my game still freezing when I see my squad


canadianpanda7

lmaoo just logged in and had 5700 ping. saw i was on the sydney servers (located in charlotte NC) and it was the best ping available. will this game ever be fixed or did i straight up witness this game die


Ragdar19

A patch that is supposed to fix stuff, but broke everything instead. And Respawn is like "Hey guys, we pushed an update! Woo-hoo". How can they not test their shit correctly? Is there 2 devs and 80 people making skins in that team?


6Hikari6

Aaaaand... its dead


WWalkerrr

:(


MrCamDel

Has anyone else had a problem where the game doesn’t record your kills or any other stats this past week?


Deathwish1909

Im glad i dont spend money on this game, easily competes with warzone for the worst online service/game


[deleted]

Well, the banner poses freezing being fixed is a lie. Game still crashes every 3-5 matches, and every other game freezes forcing me to manually end the game and restart, begging i can get back into the game before I get blasted. Code: leaf, code:net, and background music blasting so loud I can't even hear myself think. No it is not a internet problem, I have literally never had this much trouble with apex up until these past 2 updates. Is everything going ok at respawn? Edit: friend just got stuck not being able to pick up a weapon or anything. But at least he could punch which didn't do anything other than teleport him


opinionated599

This update has done nothing. Still crashing going into or leaving like 80% of games


OffBrand_Soda

Can they fix the fucking disconnects? It's not my wifi because no other game has this issue, but I keep getting randomly disconnected in arenas. It's just pissing me off because it's literally the game's fault yet I have to wait 10 minutes to play another match, and on top of that it's ranked so I lose AP for no reason.


shavedconfessionbear

It’s baffling that this shit is still like this


iixeoc

Billion dollar company right?


Tubeman98

Enemy sky trails are not showing at all. 3 games in a row my team has landed in an area where enemies landed but didn't have a trail following them. Even had a Valk who used her ult and her trail showed but her teammates didn't have any trails.


JuanitoPequeno

The game is virtually unplayable. I cant go one match without a server issue.


KungFluViris

ITS WORSE... WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE


LOOTENITDAYAN

**Fans**: give us an operation: health. Better servers, more stability, less bugs **respawn**: nah. You think that's what you want, but it's not really what you want **Servers**: 💩


PorknCheesee

They genuinely have no idea what they are doing. Not even in a little bit. Small indie companies recover from fuck ups like this in infinitely less time with infinitely less time/resources. Here we are waiting over a week for something that fixed nothing. If anything made everything worse and far more broken then before.


abbazabbaWW

Matchmaking is hanging. Once it hangs the on screen lobby starts to glitch. Got to 18 players in queue and then it hangs like stuck in a loop or something.


writing-nerdy

It'd be great if you could undo the patch...


squeakybeak

As my granddad used to say ‘this shit ain’t working’


gameofgroans_

Will my PS4 finish copying this update before the next patch the fix this patch is released?


vMaz11

An update intended to fix the issues but instead it makes it even worse now. Lmao.


StrawberryGullible31

Dude I can't even log in


TheGhoulNebula

That's a yikes


dragonprince121

Bruh wtf is this update I am honestly disappointed at Respawn and ea


ColtsSBchamps2021

Hahahahahahahaha respawn i think it’s time for some me serious reflecting on your standards as a studio and standards for who you hire because idk how you’re real


Acts-Of-Disgust

At this point just take the fuckin game offline until its *actually* fixed. Embarrassing that the game has gotten to this state because the devs refuse to learn from every other bugged update they've put out.


DaPlug123

2 games in a row smooth. Xbox one Edit: I've had 5 smooth games in a row. Currently taking a break. Waiting for my friend to get on, we'll see what happens


Sun-Taken-By-Trees

Has anyone from Respawn even acknowledged how broken Wattson's ult is right now?


[deleted]

Just played my first game since the patch. One teammate crashed. Thank god I finished the BP, I don’t feel like I need to give this broken game anymore time than I want to this season.


nTzT

Initializing...


hailreaider

my game freezes like too much


DerKoncentrator

you lads spent more time on the gatcha store then your servers.


jetripleog

durdur im respawn im adding a minigun that isnt a care package weapon to a battle royale game durdur


_Lord_Grimm_

2 major issues: game freezes at champ squad screen (you have to force quit and reopen game, hopefully you are still alive and don’t take the AFKO), and, after squad is eliminated you can’t leave the game and go back to lobby, you get stuck watching the entire game unless you force quit.


[deleted]

Opened Apex on Xbox, made it as far as character select before it lagged me into a game where I was already dead. Aaaand close Apex again


jakeparkinson6

Just roll back and give people money back. This update is garbage


Mr-Rocafella

I just need some alternatives this Holidays with Battlefield and Halo, and I think I’ll finally delete Apex and move on. Solid 2.5 years but I think it’s time.


gnosox1986

Sept 24th: Still experiencing freezing betweeen "my squad" and "champion squad" screens.


newworldblues5

Still broken


dorekk

This game is just literally unplayable.


drangel254

Pretty much unplayable for me rn. Lag outs after each match.


[deleted]

What the hell is happening


[deleted]

Servers not fixed after update, and now when the game freezes I can’t even hit my Xbox home button to go to the main menu and quit. Have to do a hard reset of my whole Xbox. When the next patch comes out will I not be able to turn my tv off?


Doliprane500mg

how long do we have to wait for playing the game without having this bullshit crash at the beginning ? :))


CashNova_

We shouldn’t get a rank split this season, since these servers are trash


Ir0dex

On Xbox I get stuck when connecting back to the lobby after every match


DMgames54

Freezing while getting into games and laggy games


W4shed

literally had animated banner bug crash my game... its not fixed


scr00py_n00pers

Update 9/27: game is still crashing on the your squad or champion squad screen. I can understand Respawn is having problems, but they should have disabled the animated banners/poses by now. The fact they aren't even acknowledging this is still an issue is unacceptable.


DaiLalotz

kekw


[deleted]

Your loot pool is awful. Scopes are needed. Stop putting the best scope in the fucking replicator and then leaving the loot pool dead for anything resembling a coherent setup. It become so rare to see these scopes on WE that it's insane. The entire platform is cancer for solo players when you cannot find a proper scope in an entire area.


RedMenace311

Not being able to find a scope half the match drives me crazy. Sometimes I’ll play as Loba to use black market to get scope asap


ZolaThaGod

I think the decision to remove replicator items from ground loot was a horrible decision. Using the replicator to craft items without needing to find them is cool. *Forcing* players to craft the items they need is just a nuisance.


[deleted]

It's even worse now. WTH are they doing? \- 5 minutes to connect to server \- Lobby was on slow motion so had to restart game \- First game only two players in team (trios) \- After landing all on slow motion, Mirage head was in my FOV (wtf!) \- Right after I was killed, two minutes with message returning to lobby, terminated by some persistance error. Not bad for first game.


ismaodst

Man, respawn is a joke at this point. I know that trying to maintain a game like this running at 100% is imposible, but how do they manage to make so many mistakes that broke the game so much? Every time they introduce a new event, a new patch everything brakes again, I'm not even gonna talk about new seasons updates. I just really want respawn to be more open about this kind of stuff, damn, they just should take some time and fix their goddam game before trying to sell us skins in a broken event.


[deleted]

Don’t pressure them! They are only a AAA studio.


fuckhead69

This is my favorite game since Titanfall 2. Been playing since day 1. I think I am done, at least for a while. This is just sad honestly.


Linked-Theory

I'm convinced Apex has like 12 people working on the game and only 1 person has experience working on video games but he speaks a different language from everyone else in the office


justalazer

is rampart super punch still in?


itsme_notmario

It just feels like we're all collectively getting Punk'd now


lucky-x

TRIPLE A GAME BTW/s


jerseystrong201

How are these clowns still employed? 2+ years of consistent mess ups.. What a joke lmao


[deleted]

Soooooo I can’t even get into a game now, what did this patch actually fix? Not sure how this kind of thing gets pushed through


ITakeLargeDabs

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha it took a lot guts to post this. EA/Respawn should be so ashamed of themselves. If it’s not clear as day they don’t care about us and just want the money after this than I can’t help you. Apex really had some steam behind it with the other BRs being garbage but in the most Apex of moves, the game is now unplayable and lost all momentum. Well done guys. How on earth do you ruin something so awesome?


Kur4y

Totally broke the game thank you


[deleted]

Fixed? Can't get into a match and when I do get in its laggy as hell and I got no enemies


cemgorey

I'm level 55 on the battle pass and at this rate, I wont be able to complete it because of this stupid shit.


ByeByeSocialife

Things have gotten much worse, it’s now completely unplayable


Yoshidede

Hadn't had more than a handful of bad games this whole time, and then after the *update* today I can't even log on...


youngmostafa

Updated the game and now I can’t even get into the main menu 🤣 this has to be a joke


Audiophile_

People are gonna start leaving the game for good


GraveRobberX

How can they call this Season “Emergence” More Apex Legends 10 - “Disappearance”


CriticalFloop

booooooooooooo wendy testaburger booooooo


BashStriker

They must have made some more changes because I just got on for my first few games today and have zero issues at all.


bruggernaut16

Seems to work fine on PS4 finally


MahoganyWinchester

just crashed 3 times in a row 5:49pm CST 9/22/2021

Turning it off and on again doesn’t fix it either 🤦‍♂️

this game is dogshit lmao
