What happens when the bug occurs? I have stutters/lags effecting my gameplay that much it causes me to get knocked/eliminated. You remember a few weeks ago when there was the update in september and we all experienced a lot of (server) lag/stuttering, that moment when the game was actually unplayable for some time? Well, since then, for me the game is still performing very poorly and ive got a lot of stuttering going on, it also feels/looks like i play with very low fps (like 15 or so) at these moments of poor performance but thats not the case. Sometimes a lot of games in a row and its litterly unplayable and sometimes just every other game and when its not happening its kinda playable (not on drop tho) but i rarely have this smooth apex feeling im used to and addicted to. The stuttering is very inconsistent during the game but happening over half of the games i play. At the worse moments (one is a few games) it will even get so bad i start to no-reg enemies. The recoil of the gun / hitting enemies is not synched with the audio, and there are visual glitches like bullets not appearing from my barrel of the gun im shooting but from the sides of my screen? The game is just performing very poorly and the whole smooth apex movement feeling is gone. Im losing my mind over it and i litterly cant take it anymore to keep on trying to play and wait for another update since there has been quite a few already. I waited for this seasons patch to see if it would be fixed and sadly its not. This is when i decided to make this topic. Im not the kinda of person instantly screaming for help and calling out this game is broken without researching or trying to come with solutions myself/googling my issue. Thats why i also waited for some patches to pass and trying a lot of things/"fixes". I have the feeling the issue is on Apex's end, altho i could never confirm this. The only thing i know is that no other game is having any performance issues. If someone has any solution/suggestion on how i can improve the current performance i would love to hear it. ill throw down my specs here realy quick: Game is installed on SSD on Origin rn, i also tried steam. CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K MOBO: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3.2GHZ 16GB PSU: Corsair RM750x black SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB HDD: Seagate ST 2TB
What should be happening instead? The game should run smoothly
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I dont know if you can reproduce this

  • update:

    for around 20 games now the stuttering seems to be fixed. I did the following:

    I updated my bios version to the latest version. I think there was some inconsistancy going on with the ram. This didnt seem to effect anything i did on my pc even other games, but apex. 

    Anyways even if this helps only one person out its worth to mention because finally in 8 weeks i got to play the game without stutters. Hopefully this will stay the case and its fixed now! 

    if not ill send an update again

    I think the best way is to use a flash drive with the bios update. Some manufacturers also have software for it. Search youtube: updating bios. There are plenty of videos explaining it very clearly. Also google it and read a bit about it so you are prepared. 

  • @LunaticYX I am on PS4 and am also having this same issue, also having an issue when trying to connect back to lobby it just says connecting then drops my character under map and still doesn't connect back to lobby. I have to close application and restart just to play another match
  • I'm having the same problem.. it happens randomly, and freezes my screen for 1 sec, every 3 sec
    When I re-open the game sometimes it stops, but when it happens it's unplayable
    I've already tryed everything and nothing helps

  • Bro I can’t stand this game i was so close to plat 4 I had 8 kills in a ranked Match and it threw me out of the game completely and gave me an abandonment penalty if it keeps doing this I promise I’m going to delete this game they need to fix it and now I’ve been playing this game since season four this is the worst season they’ve made due to this “bug.” 

  • Every time I play apex I have high ping and I know it's not my pc or internet. Apex is the only game I lag in.

    ,.

  • I continue to get Leaf, Net codes and amazing lag on Oregon Server(s). And after I get knocked out of match to one of the bugs, I return with time out and loss of rank match points. I've done it all to repair but this continues. Fix por favor.

    Apex Legends, PC

    Thank you,

  • Similar issue

    Packet loss since the hotfix and S12

    This is a 1st time issue, I have never had this problem in a year of playing the game

    Since the new season stared and after the hotfix and the server crash that locked the legends and coins, every 3 to 4 games I would get 40-50 packet loss that would not go away until I restated the game. The lag gets worse as I fight other teams and when I die I cannot return to the lobby and need to wait to be timed out

    The other games that don't get the packet loss work completely normal.

    I have tested EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING, my speed is normal and nothing is slow on my end just that every 3,4 games the game is unplayable

    80 ish ping is normal for me, the lowest I get is 60 ish, everything else on my internet works FINE and it has never give me LAG, it also doesn't affect my game when I don't have packet loss
