Your sheer ability to communicate with clarity and clear separation of opinions and facts makes me remember why I do indeed love the DEVs team.

HA. wait until you all get a taste of my designs next season. jkjk.

Thank you. Also, can I check if you use a connected controller, Xbox or otherwise? It looks like the device has some sort of integration with controllers. 

Another thing I wonder, is if the game is trying to use it as a microphone. If you open the Sound settings in Windows does it show as an input device? If so, can you try setting a different input device and see if anything changes?

Thank you for the post, this of course shouldn't be happening.

Can I check on what specifically activates? Does it launch anything or does it "just" turn on the camera light? Is anything recorded/saved? Do you have any macros or anything to automatically turn on the camera under other circumstances.

Also can I check your camera model?

Awesome! You're up against a lot of competition at that tier and it's legit impressive. I'm deploying a high five toward you from the studio, keep it up😁

Just wanted for you to know that there's something terribly wrong with ranked MM in both arena and battle royale after recent patch.

In arenas i had 2 matches with ppl who did 20-40 dmg in 4 rounds (no badges, some of them were 30 lvl account, some just default gold players) while having known preds/masters in the enemy team.

In battle royale ranked Bronze 4 acc was put against diamonds. It never ever happend before for 2 years i was playing this game.

All matches were played as solo player.

Please look into it, its not only me who giving this kind of feedback, i saw a lot of same info in /r/apexlegends sub.

Should be fixed already

Are you able to share anymore details with me? Trying to figure out how this occurs... Thanks!

What's the situation?

Hey, i played a few matches of arenas today (around 15) and i think the issue still exists (or maybe the update didn't roll out yet on my server? - playing on Frankfurt2).
It's not as bad as it used to be but some matches still feel very unbalanced - I'm not loosing because of too many individual mistakes or bad aim, but because the enemy team consisted of much mroe experienced players than my teammates. I was able to beat them once in a 1v3, but unfortunately they adapted and didn't give me any more opportunities to clutch up. I uploaded a screenshot of one of these matches (included the server ID in the last screenshot - i think you wrote in the Network Blogpost that this ID can help identifying issues).

The damage difference alone tells you a lot how this match played out ;)

The matchmaking feels better than a few weeks ago, but 2 or 3 out of 10 matches still fee...

Even if it is not communicated, there are actually placement matches. When someone new join, we try to assess their skill. My guess is that you are in the middle of the average population so you get a lot of those. We have a plan to reduce this.

Hi u/ricklesauceur I'm not sure if you're still answering questions but I'm so fascinated by the matchmaking and I have some questions that came to mind while watching. If you can't answer you can ignore it.

Regarding ranked matchmaking - Do you match a solo queue player differently than a duo or trio stack? Is this reflected on what teammates they have? For example, a high skill solo smurf more likely to be matched with other higher performing players or are they more likely to be matched with worse players to make it more balanced for them?

Can there be multiple different skill averages per rank? (very high skill platinum game compared to rest of plat bracket, low skilled diamond game compared to the rest of diamond bracket)

Regarding pubs - you implied that the matchmaking currently puts you at the highest party members sbmm, correct? If the lower skill player performs better than them temporarily in the game (higher kill...

Cannot tell you the nitty gritty of the secret sauce. Overall we try to match people close to each other in skills. Of course there are concessions, based on the wait time we would expand those skill parameters. Pubs is not ranked, it is very hard to find high level players in pubs.

Hello u/ricklesauceur. Could you tell us if you (or Respawn) are aware of the sluttering issue that started to happen from the time Nvidia Reflex was introduced to Apex? Sluttering issue I have in mind (for PC players) is that in every match I got this multiple one or two second FPS drops even though my PC seems to be quite good for Apex. I experience these issues on two different PCs: 1) Ryzen 5900X, RTX 2080Ti, 32GB ram 3800MHz, fast NVME drive (with 800GB free space), 2) Ryzen 3900X, GTX 1080, 16GB ram 3600MHz, 512GB SSD drive (350GB free space). I am aware of the 190FPS bug so I use Riva Tuner to limit my FPS to 180FPS on 240Hz screen, and 130FPS on 144Hz screen. I always tune settings in Nvidia Control Panel to get as much FPS as possible and the lowest possible input lag. I even played Apex on a fresh Windows 10 installation without any tuning and the issue persists. Would it be helpful to provide a video proof?

I am sorry if the questio...

Not my wheelhouse sorry!

Good luck!

hi,

  1. any updates on asian_hideouts( anti cheat squad for aisa)
  2. much of the match making problems can be solved if we have proper training ground.

i am a relatively new player.i downloaded a game called apex aim trainer .it tries to imitate apex movement & gun-play, for training purpose only. half an hour on it made me much better player than two weeks on battle royal. when players have better understanding of movement & recoil ,also confidence of knowing they know the basic , complaints about matchmaking will decrease.

thx

  1. Soon
  2. You are right, on-boarding new players is very important, we speak a bit about it in the video

That makes sense, and completely understandable on the 2nd question, I had a feeling you couldn't reveal too much there.

I actually have one last question if you don't mind: are trios and duos mmr separate? I rarely play the mode but players never act how I expect them to when I do, so I always wonder how much of that is down to matchmaking, different playerbases, communication, etc.

MMR are the same but keep in mind Trios have more chance to play againt other Trios so it tends to evolve differently compared to duos. We have some goodies as said in the video in stock to take into account groups a bit more aggressively.
