Hey! Before we head into the weekend got a couple quick things to talk about:

SERVER PATCH

We pushed a server patch today to all platforms addressing a few issues:

  • Addressed issue where players were able to skydive longer distances than intended when launching from Jump Towers.
  • Fixed issue with Havoc crashing the game in certain situations.
  • Fixed exploit where players could refill ammo in the inventory screen for the Kraber and Mastiff.

CRASHES

Reminder that we have a troubleshooting guide with some things you can try as we continue to investigate and test fixes for PC crashes: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Community-Crashing-Troubleshooting-Guide/td-p/7447308

We are working closely with hardware partners to investigate and address the issues being reported. The wide range of PC specs and hardware configurations means there are a lot more variables to account for so finding, reproducing, fixes, and testing take time. Still work to do and this is a big priority for us with many people working diligently on it.

This week we saw a good reduction in crashes on console since the last patch and continue testing more improvements for the future.

Have a great weekend and we’ll see you all on Monday.

u/Jayfresh_Respawn could you post a link here to where people can send in recorded footage of hackers/cheaters? Have had a lot of people wondering where to send the footage. Appreciate the great game and constant updates and info posts, thanks.

Edit: also can confirm console crashes on PS4 are extremely less common now. PS4 seems much more stable.

Can you address the disproportionate hitboxes between legends? The pathfinder hitbox seems much bigger than the actual model, as demonstrated in another thread on here.

Sure! We are definitely aware of it and we were actually discussing it today. I can't say anything more for now but we hear you guys.

Have you guys looked into the glitch where you can basically redeploy at any time when hovering/landing? It shoots you straight up in to the sky and is super easy to do. When you're 'hovering' you just look up, hold down the grenade button and then move your mouse upwards a couple of times and you basically reach an altitude not attainable except for the beginning of the match. This video explains it in detail.

Thanks for sending!

u/Jayfresh_Respawn Are you aware of the bug that audio just cuts out / distorted and lags and plays like 10 seconds after it should. I have tried everything I could to fix this bug and cant figure it out. Alot of people are complaining about it on the EA Tech support forum.

Edit: Here is a link to the forum thread https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/SOUND-GONE-DISTORTED-APEX-LEGENDS/td-p/7531566

The update on the crashes is greatly appreciated. Hope you guys can get it figured out before the battle pass comes out so I can binge!

We want that for you too! We're on it.
