How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The game feels like the sensitivity is on minus 10, it feels very sluggish/viscous when your turn left/right or up/down.
What should be happening instead? The game should feel smooth, not like the sensitivity is on minus 10.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? My guess would be that it is a server issue, because this kind of lag also occurs in Battlefield V and Battlefield I, but not in games like Warzone and Rocket League.
I have been playing Apex since day one, love the game, but now since like 8 days the game feels very sluggish/viscous. When I try to turn left/right or up/down the game feels like the sensitivity is on minus 10. It was running fine on the PS5 for more than a month until this happened. I tried to do about everything I can think of to solve the issue: reset the router, replace internet cable to my router, replace the hdmi cable, change in game sensitivity, I tried to play on my TV instead of my monitor (still the lag so can't be my gaming monitor), I turned of the power from my router and PS5 and restarted, I forwarded ports to my router as described on the EA website.But most importantly I found out that I experience the same lag in Battlefield V and Battlefield I, but in Warzone and Rocket League I have no such issues. I am not an expert here but to me this is an indication of EA server issues. I play my games through a cable (10 m) that is directly connected to the router and my internet speed is on average 500 mbit download and 20-30 mbit upload. I have played Apex for two years and invested a lot of time and even money in this game and I am wondering now how long it is gonna take before this is gonna be fixed? Is it gonna be fixed at the next update? Or am I the only one experiencing this weird kind of lag and should I just forget about Apex and play other games, because it maybe will never be fixed...
Is anybody else experiencing this sluggish feeling in Apex or am I the only one? EA and Respawn: fix this problem please!!!!
