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. I was trying to ping a location on the map after customizing my controller buttons. I changed the button to ping stuff to the X button on my ps5 controller.
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. I was trying to ping a location on the map after customizing my controller buttons. I changed the button to ping stuff to the X button on my ps5 controller.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? It happened in every match after I customized my ps5 controller controls
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I changed the button to ping stuff to the X button on my ps5 controller, but when I try to ping a location on the map by pressing the X button nothing happens. It also still says to press R1 to ping a location on the map but when I try to do so nothing happens.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to ping a location on the map by pressing the X button or the R1 button like it says when you open your mini map
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Customize your controller buttons the same way I did in the following picture

In the picture I attached you can see the customized controller buttons I use

  • Same here. This is super annoying. I have also placed pinging on X on my Dualsense controller (Apex PS5 version). As you said, pinging should be possible with R1 on the map, which is especially highlighted in the settings menu. But when you press it, nothing happens. It´s a general bug. Please fix!
