Hello everyone,
This issue is currently being investigated, as said on the dev tracker here.
Hopefully they are able to fix it in an upcoming patch!
Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? TrophyHunter94
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. No specific place, happens all over the map.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. No special interaction. Happens when fighting, standing still, moving, looting etc.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Been an ongoing thing since like season 2, but happens more often since late S4/early S5.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Static noise/screech sound that happens sometimes 1-2 times per match but other times it goes crazy for a minute straight, back to normal and then the same thing again after a couple of minutes. I've played with multiple squadmates having the same issue, but it tends to wary how often/bad it is. I've experienced it with 2 differend headsets using optical cable/base station and several ear buds plugged into controller. Happens with both in-game chat, ps4 group chat and in game with no mic plugged in, no other games or menues have this sound so I think it's sure to say its something happening in the game. I've read a couple of reddit posts etc. explaining the same problem but with no good solution.
What should be happening instead? Normal game audio without screech/hissing sounds.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play the game, should be right there for you to listen to.
Please fix, it ruins the great experience the game has to offer.
Allso: what's up with not being able to run while inspecting the Sentinel? I mean one can inspect the kraber while running so this must be a bug.
I thought it was my gold headphones going bad hahaha yes. I have it recorded. It's super annoying!
