Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Step 1.) Set your stat tracker to 21,474,835 Step 2.) Increase it by performing actions IN MATCHES so that it would be greater than 21,474,836 Step 3.) You view your own player card IN LOBBY, it exceeds 21,474,836. Step 3.2) Notice that OTHER players in your lobby do not see an integer greater than 21,474,836; it is capped.
My explanation in the above report isn't very good, so this is my best explanation of the bug, why it happens, when it happens, and HOW TO FIX IT !
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a programmer so some of this may be incorrect, but I think it is still good information to give because it may assist you in detecting and resolving the problem
------- WHY I THINK THE BUG HAPPENS:
The 32-bit integer limit
2,147,483,648
The limit of any tracker
21,474,836
Do you see the similarities in the numbers?
The limit of a tracker is almost exactly 1/100 of the 32-bit integer limit.
It is not a coincidence that players cannot progress beyond 21,474,836 on a stat tracker.
Many players experience this, in fact you can verify this fact at this link: https://apex.tracker.gg/apex/leaderboards/stats/all/Damage?page=1&legend=wraith
From the link, you can see that 20 players of legend Wraith are tied at 21,474,836 damage.
It is VERY important to note that these players do not have the same stats, but that their stats are displayed as the same.
The problem lies in the fact that their tracker when seen by other players, shows the set limit of 21,474,836 , but when viewed by the player themselves, they see the REAL VALUE which is greater than 21,474,836.
Maybe there is some mistyped article of code that applies to all trackers, saying that if a tracker exceeds 2147836 , it equals 21474836 . I have no idea..
1.) The "visible value" I am about to mention is the value seen in the match, and the value seen by other players.
2.) This does not affect the REAL VALUE, but only the visible value.
So basically, one's own client can view their tracker at above the limit.
In match, a new player card is generated with the adjusted value.
In lobby, other players see the player card generated with the adjusted value.
The adjusted value and the real value both exist at the same time; if you switch your tracker to a different slot, you see the real value --- but then the adjusted value overrides it.
I know this won't be high priority to fix considering it's not altering gameplay, but please fix it ASAP!
