Apex on ps5 stutter/jitter bug looking around because fps often higher than 60.

PS5 STUTTERING/JITTERING WHEN LOOKING AROUND BECAUSE FPS UNSTABLE (FPS GOING BEYOND 60?)

Product: Apex Legends
Platform: PS5
Please specify your platform model: PS5 Disc

What happens when the bug occurs?:

As I look around in the game I find it to be jittery and stuttering. I found the cause for this being frame rate related but the behaviour of the frame rate is strange. I would expect this kind of problem to be because of frames dropping but instead the frames are looking like they're going beyond 60fps (which is what the ps5 is capped to) into the 70's and 80's for a period of time while looking towards certain parts of the game that are graphically intense, not any specific parts but the parts from wherever you are at any point on the map, making this issue consistent throughout the game constantly messing with ones aim.

Here's a video I made that showcases me looking left and right specifically in the direction the issue was happening, it's like aim assist is being triggered but it is not and this is the major problem. I looking and mistake this stutter/jitter for me detecting an enemy.

please feel free to slow the video down to see the fps going up for whatever reason, otherwise one can see the slight jitter/stutter at 60fps on ps5. 

Have also attached an image of the fps counter at 82/83 just to give a still example as well, screenshot taken from the same video linked above.

  • @Yulureum Omg I thought it was my ps5, I can’t play stormpoint and it’s only that map, since it’s only in ranked I cannot fathom the white flashing and stutters. It only started this season and even with the new Valkyrie event it still hasn’t been fixed. I deleted apex and everything but it still doesn’t fix.
  • @Yulureum I've been having this problem too! FPS going above 60 and then the frames to stutter when turning. I tried installing the PS4 version, restoring the PS5, different controller deadzone settings, trying performance mode and resolution mode.

    What DID fix it for me was adding DNS servers in the internet connection settings. On PS5, set up your internet settings normally then for DNS, choose "manual". Set the Primary to 208.67.222.222 and the Secondary to 208.67.220.220

    Hope this works for others!

  • I've dealt with this on series X for 6 months straight . It shoots up to 70-80 fps no matter what mode I'm in . Even in the firing range . . . . This game has been so bad lately .. it's going downhill so fast, and with warzone2/dmz right around the corner with 120 FoV and 120 FPS they better step it up or they will slowly lose their console community,  the numbers already show they've lost alot of xbox players.

  • Same problem been almost a year now , despite locked my thread and offered no help . The company reps are clowns . They broke source code on the next gen version and it's causing the FPS cap to get bypassed for split seconds every few seconds ..... but they won't fix it ,, or atleast not on purpose .
