Continuously losing flight speed during initial drop of match

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One X
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? MoarMagzz
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. N/a
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Pathfinder/Bangalore/Wattson
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? N/a
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. Kings Canyon/World’s Edge
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. Flying after dropping out of dropship
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Happens randomly
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) First started 21.04.20
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Lose speed when flying and cannot regain it.
What should be happening instead? Be able to maintain or increase speed by changing flight path.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Drop out of dropship at beginning of match.

When I exit the dropship at the beginning of the match I start at a high speed of typically 148 but the speed begins to decrease even if I continue along a path that has previously not caused me to lose speed. Even when I fly straight down I can only reach a top speed of 135. This bug causes me to land short of my intended location or very late. If I am jumpmaster, my squad mates are affected until they break off from what I have seen.

    Hey @MoarMagpul

    Is there any way you could grab a video of what you're seeing when you're diving? If so, can you attach the video here so we can take a look? 

    Thanks!

    /Kent

  • I attached the video to the original post. Thank you very much!

    Got it, thanks!

    Are you only noticing this happening when you yourself are the drop master? 

    /Kent

  • It only occurs if someone else is jumpmaster when I break off mid-flight. I will fly normally with the jumpmaster, but when I break off I begin to lose speed.

    Hmm, gotcha. That's definitely weird. 

    Just to test this, have you tested this with other controllers on your Xbox to see if that has any effect at all? 

    /Kent

  • After testing with another controller and looking at the Xbox button input testing screen for my original controller, it looks like it was the controller that was the problem. Thank you for your help!

  • @EA_Kent My husband is having the same problem on his PS4. Will try a different controller tomorrow.
