50 meter melee
Why am I getting punished for having a good connection??? I literally Dashes 50 meters back from an opponent they do a melee at that distance and it knocks me... wth??? there's like a whole complete second where the ghost of my legend lives on their screen for them to kill??? Thats insane. I even video captured one, it wasn't the worst one but still clear enough. Also sometimes the Dash just does not trigger can press the button multiple times and nothing.asia server so many cheater
Hello, I’m playing on the Asia server. The AP - East1 server has the most cheaters. They sell boosting services and cheats on [Edit - CM] Cheaters can see where players are located and even view their usernames by checking the map. They avoid pro players and streamers and target regular players instead. Even if they get banned, they buy accounts for $1 to $3 and come back to the game. They used to use head aimbots to avoid getting taken down quickly, but these days they use wallhacks and body aimbots. I know you're doing a better job of catching cheaters than you used to, but there are cheaters in every match. It's getting to the point where I can't even play the game. It seems there are ways for them to get in by taking a detour even if they're on a hardban. I saw a DDoS attack being launched from a website. Normally, it would have caused the game to crash, but now it just causes lag.Steam Input Configs in Apex — Automation, & Gray Market Nobody Talks About
This is An Open Letter to Respawn & EA: The Commercialization of Steam Input Macros and the Death of Competitive Integrity I want to have a serious conversation about something that's been ignored for too long. This isn't another aim assist debate — this is specifically about Steam Input controller configs and what they enable in Apex Legends right now. What's actually happening Players on controller are using Steam Input — Valve's official remapping tool — to automate mechanics that were designed to require skill. Here's what publicly available and actively sold configs do: Jitter Aim — automatic crosshair micro-oscillation that combined with rotational aim assist produces near-zero recoil. Physically impossible to replicate by hand with the same consistency. Superglide — The config executes it perfectly every single attempt. Neo Strafing — advanced movement that gives a massive advantage in gunfights. One button. 100% execution rate. Mantle Jump, Turbo Jump, Armor Swap, Fast Loot — all reduced to single button presses with millisecond precision no human hand can match. Why EAC doesn't catch it — and never will This is the core problem. Steam Input operates at the driver level, before the signal reaches the game. To EAC, a controller with a macro and a controller without one are completely identical — both send legitimate XInput signals. No code injection. No memory reading. Nothing for EAC to flag. You cannot ban this without banning Steam Input entirely. Which means banning it for every legitimate controller user on your platform. Respawn is trapped — and they know it. The gray market you're ignoring People are selling these configs. Not sharing — selling. Discord servers with paid tiers. Dedicated websites. Premium versions with extended features. Some channels which are selling it confirm that the sellers understand exactly what they're distributing. This is a commercial market for competitive advantage built inside a legal loophole that Respawn/EA created by never defining what is and isn't permitted. If a keyboard player ran software that automated Superglide/Neostrafe etc. — instant ban. A controller player buys a config file from a Discord server — nothing happens. Same outcome. Different rules. Zero explanation from the developer. Spreading the issue Furthermore, there are documented methods to force aim assist activation on mouse and keyboard through controller input spoofing — achieving the same result on PC while bypassing any enforcement. I want to be clear — this isn't a platform war post. Honest controller players are also being cheated here. The majority of controller players have no idea these configs exist. They're losing to people who paid for a config file and they have no way of knowing it. The problem is automation of skill-based mechanics combined with aim assist combined with zero enforcement combined with a commercial market operating openly. That combination is a competitive integrity failure regardless of what input device is involved. Respawn — you've enforced competitive integrity before. You've banned third party software. You've patched exploits when the community pressure was high enough. This deserves the same attention. Or at minimum — an official statement explaining where you stand. Because right now your silence reads as permission. My questions to Respawn/EA — and I'd genuinely like answers: Do you consider Steam Input configs that automate jitter aim, superglide, and neo strafing to be within the spirit of fair play in Apex Legends? If not — what are you doing about it, and why has it been ignored since at least 2021? Do ALGS tournament rules explicitly address Steam Input configs? If a pro player used these configs on stage, would that be a violation? Is it acceptable that people are commercially selling these configs — profiting from a competitive loophole that you have neither closed nor officially permitted? Final Note to the Community I will not be engaging in circular arguments with anyone attempting to defend these scripts as "just settings" or "accessibility features." This post isn't aimed at individual players, and I have no interest in debating those who profit from or rely on these macros. My goal is simple: clarity from Respawn. The community deserves to know if "competitive integrity" is still a core value of Apex Legends, or if the automation of skill is now the accepted standard. The silence has gone on long enough. It’s time for a definitive stance.2 players sexually threatened me, and no action has been taken
So last night I was playing Apex and I unfortunately got matched up with 2 guys who on voice-chat were calling me a **bleep** and told me multiple times they were gonna **bleep** me. This all because I typed "are we gonna do something" because they were standing around for multiple minutes. I reported these two players and this morning I got an email from EA saying that no action has been taken.. Edit: The word got censored here but it's the R word when it comes to sexual assault.Ultimate BattlePass rewards gone
I asked for refund last time because there's bug and I accidentally paid twice of the battlepass. After I got refunded, the Ultimate rewards also got refunded, I only got 10 exotic shards, no pathfinder skins, no horizon skins. Note: I got only refunded once, so I still bought 1 Ultimate BattlePassWhy when switch legend = mega kills
So anytime I doing bad for ever I switch legends then suddenly I get 15 kills 3k+ damage. Then after couple game the game becomes bad and go to being really average. This used to happen in fifa too, if you change formation or buy new player suddenly few a few games you obliterate opponents and then it goes back to trash
Apex ban got overturned, but the game is still locked
I appealed the Apex game ban I received on July 12, 2026, on help.ea.com. The case ( Case #250605972) shows it has been overturned, and my ban history can no longer be found, but when I log into Apex, it still shows my account is locked. I seriously suspect that the anti-cheat database didn't sync with the TOS when lifting the ban.Servers for Africa?
There are a decent amount of us in Africa, particularly South Africa, that play Apex Legends. I know that lag compensation is almost essentially part of the game, but I can’t help but feel that we’re constantly playing at a deficit when facing people who play on a flat 30-80 ping. we constantly have to deal with 200+ ping in game, and switching servers doesn’t really help because of our distance to everyone - it’s basically the same, if not worse. Tried VPN and tried anti-lag software but it just doesn’t cut it. Obviously we’re making do with what we can, but I know that this game would definitely pick up on players if it had a more central, dedicated server for Africa.Account Restricted with No Ban Notice
I was still playing Apex Legends at 10:00 PM last night. However, when I tried to log in at noon today, a ban pop‑up appeared. I can still enter the game lobby and ready up for matches, but the pop‑up reappears after a short while, and this cycle repeats continuously. Furthermore, I have checked my ban history and there are no records of any penalties. I have not received any emails from EA staff informing me that my account has been banned. I have received no notifications and found no records whatsoever, yet the game keeps indicating that I am banned. If I have violated the user agreement, please inform me truthfully and send the details via email. I will provide evidence to prove that I am a legitimate player. If I have not violated any terms, please lift the login restriction on my account. Thank you. I am posting this discussion hoping someone can help me resolve my issue. I do not want to be banned without knowing the reason. CM: Edited to update thread title to include more contextBut, what if...
Hey Respawn Team, I've been playing Apex for a long time, and I wanted to share a map idea that I think would feel completely different from anything in the game today. Imagine a dense jungle map inspired by Rambo, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, and The Mummy. Features could include: Massive rainforest with heavy canopy and limited sightlines. Ancient temples and forgotten ruins as major POIs. Underground tombs and tunnel networks connecting the map. Rope bridges, waterfalls, caves, and hidden loot rooms. Environmental traps like rolling boulders, collapsing bridges, and spike traps. Dynamic weather such as rain, fog, and thunderstorms. Wildlife that reacts to nearby squads. I also think Apex would benefit from a Photo Mode or Explorer Mode where players can appreciate the incredible work your environment artists put into every map. Thanks for making such an awesome game. Keep up the great work, and thanks for considering the idea! Best, A longtime Wattson mainRemove Other Players from Bot Royale
We need to remove human players from Bot Royale. It defeats the whole purpose. As a new person to apex I was enjoying the game until you guys added human players to bot Royale . Let the sweaty ranked players play regular or continue on ranked. Leave the bots only mode. Please EA [SU Edit: Updated thread title]Octane isn't fast anymore.
It used to be that a skilled Wraith might be able to compete with Octane for a short while, but with the updates to Pathfinder and the chick that turns into Mario Kart? Octane's whole deal is being mobile as heck. And now I'm getting outmaneuvered by all sorts of different legends speed wise. There's a problemo there, amigos.Invisibility hack getting out of hand this month
Please crack down on the amount of players using the invisibility hack. This has been a minor problem since season 20, but this past month I've noticed it more and more, so they must have come up with a new variant that slips by the EAC. It's getting so ridiculous how someone can literally be right in front of me and shoot me and my teammates at point blank range and not even be seen on the screen. Same thing when I was hiding in a plant at estates and an octane came in and started looting and putting on better gun attachments that had the hack on and was completely invisible, thankfully he didn't see me hiding there and I was able to shoot him. They can already use perfect aim, shoot through obstacles, use rapid fire, so why do they need to be invisible too? This is getting so ridiculous I just get angry every day I play this game now. I would pay a thousand dollars to have the pre season 20 apex back for just one day, sheesh! Please either get the game hack free or give a list where we all can obtain these abilities so that the game is fair again.Steam launch options

I have 6500 hours in this game. why do developers constantly think that we want an unkillable stun drone to fight. I want fair gunfights. Who cares about the lore. Who cares about ALGS. WE WANT FAIR GUNFIGHTS. I don't even care if you keep her kit. but that drone DOES NOT need 100 health. On top of that, it shouldn't launch you in the air. I know you developers want every penny off your BS but c'mon, Do you guys even play your own game? Its not a game of skill or aim anymore. Its whoever uses the devs latest poster childStarting to feel let down by the lack of anti-cheats and bans
Everyday I play for a few hours as a casual person and I'm constantly seeing aimbotting in Apex Legends ranked. I always report these players but feel let down by EA because I am seeing it every day and when reporting the cheating players, there is no confirmation of it was cheating or not. I can see why the game is dying which is a shame.
