Apex Legends Dev Tracker

Have you tried disabling Adaptive Resolution FPS Target in the Video Settings (more specifically, setting it to 0)? If not, give that a whirl and see if it helps at all. This has been flagged internally either way.

From our ZH community:

Since the SBMM mechanism causes matches to become increasingly unbalanced with fewer players, what measures could be taken to bring more people back to play?

From our ZH community:

Why is the match intensity in normal matchmaking noticeably higher than in the ranked?

[11:30AM PT]: Thanks for joining us! Our Matchmaking AMA has now concluded. For those that didn’t get a direct reply, please check out the dev’s replies as there may have been an answer to a similar question. 

There were a couple of anti-cheat questions as well. While these were off topic and couldn’t be answered today, we’re looking at hosting an AMA for anti-cheat soon.

Hey, r/ApexLegends!

This is a big one. We’re going to be diving into your matchmaking questions and feedback. If you need a jumping point, here are our last two matchmaking updates: ...

It's a reward on the new player pass prize track. If you go into the passes menu and scroll the the prize track for the new player pass (which he will have assigned ), you'll see an image of what looks like a bot head. That's the unlock. Once he unlocks that level on the prize track, he will unlock all legends in bot royale.

Heads up, legends!

We recently identified two issues that we wanted to give you an update on.

1) On March 11 there was a brief period of time where the Spark Bonus Meter wasn't updating. This has since been fixed, and all players who completed the bonus meter or lost progress on their bonus meter have been granted one Beast of Prey Pack.

2) Additionally, there is an issue where it looks like Beast of Prey Packs do not count towards unlocking Loba's Heirlooms. This is a visual-only bug, and these packs do count towards unlocking her Heirloom.

Know this is now older, but wanted to share some quick insights. Team dug into this one and found a bug related to it. TLDR: some of the player data hadn't fully loaded prior to the Rank Distribution screen generating which resulted in some players ranks defaulting to appear as Rookie for this match. That default is incorrect and we have a fix in progress. Cheers for the flag and helping us find this bug.

Can confirm that this challenge is also for any mode and this is a visual error only, kills in all modes are being counted. The BR tag should not be there for the "250M kills" challenge. Cheers for the flag.

We did two rounds of grants to cover folks with stuck event trackers, last one went out March 7 after the event had ended. If you're not seeing this reflected, could you drop me a chat with your in-game name and UID?

This has since been marked as resolved. Lmk if you're seeing otherwise.

Recent increase in reports brought it back to the surface, so flagged on as many relevant threads as I could find in case folks are still impacted.

Good thing Apex has no fall damage!

W!

I love the Katar!

haha - You're all good. Never took it as rude :) Easy to see how it would be anyone's guess as to when a new Legend might come along nowadays vs the every-season cadence we used to have. Glad to shed some light on where we're coming from. Cheers!
