Re: Aim assist is broken. Only works sometimes.

This has been an ongoing issue for months. It's an inconsistent problem and Respawn either are unable to fix it because they don't know how or are unwilling to fix it for whatever reason (there are theories about the matchmaking and Experience Based MatchMaking rather than skill-based matchmaking etc.).

@justdoitbig  Your comment #1672 was not visible on here when you first posted & for a couple days after that. I checked the page a few times since my last post.

Same ol' same ol' since my last post. Typical desync and delay problems but had few times where the game worked normally consistently very late at night. Those times I can actually see the AA trigger. I think it works always but the desync makes it so it doesn't trigger correctly like we see aim resist.

Then few times I also got really bad hit detection where my bullets just go thru the enemy like im shooting ghosts like @SpectreVanitas 

I was also watching #1 Gibby one day and he played Control and complained that his bullets are delayed and lagging behind. It's the exact same issue I have.

@MisterResistor  it was moved here from another thread I think because @sketchseven posted the link here

@Oddworld94  Thanks 😆 I was very confused.

@justdoitbig This was an old temp fix in 2023, it didn’t work for me in December when I tested in the firing range but try it & let us know if you see an improvement.

You need to delete the ‘saved game data’ file for Apex from your console.

Don’t delete the actual game by mistake tho. Unless you want to try a fresh install & have fast internet.

This is from a recent Reddit link I posted:

I remember hearing something about them fixing alcs bleed thru or something like that, might want to look into that

Polis_polok OP • 5d ago

Just delete the option files from my Xbox and looks OK now.

Where did you go to delete them?

Adventurous_Eye_9974 • 5d ago

Same here, and dead sliding. Mainly dead sliding.

Polis_polok OP • 5d ago

Try to delete option file. It looks OK for me now.

@skykll21  Good to see you back! Thanks for posting this. Looking good with MnK when it works 💪 @SpectreVanitas  Has the issue on pc too.

@EA_Mako 👀

@skykll21

Interesting! You have way to much aim resist on them dummies at a high input lag resolution. I have some but not as much as you do. I tried different resolutions but I'll test again using 1440 if I found it

Thank you for the upload

So we have this input lag aim resisty unable to acquire target interference bug, the prediction error issue doing all sorts of 💩, matchmaking str8 from the pit of hell, cross-play problems, controller firmware incompatibility.

Have I missed anything? 😄

@MisterResistor 

You forgot the EOMM 🙄

No I didn’t, you didn’t read properly! 😄 @SpectreVanitas 

@skykll21  I’m jealous that you can disable it permanently (at least until the next day as you’ve said in the past & then just switch resolution to the one that wasn’t working & it’s fine again).

Happens randomly to me, changing resolutions on Xbox used to help but doesn’t last long. Bottleneck?

@MisterResistor my favorite thing to do in games is to find the best sens. when it comes to controller too, i dont just want to find the best sens for me. i want to find a sens like 4-3 linear on apex legends. a sens that everyone at the highest level would use. on mnk its a little different, i know their isnt such a thing because their is much more variation. when people use a controller, its always either going to be a xbox or a ps5. they wont feel that different. on mnk though, there is all types of different mouses and mousepads that will make your aim feel different. regardless though, i find that finding a sens on mnk isnt much different than finding one on controller. it feels like when youve found your sens that it becomes harder to pull away from the target and that your aim will naturally pull with the target once youve found your sens. aswell as when your sens is too slow on both mnk and controller, i can see my aim follow behind the target. i noticed this alot with battlefield v too. when you jump while aiming, your reticle shakes so violently that it feels like you wouldn't be able to tell where your enemy is. but its like you can feel the target regardless. like how aim assist feels. mnk is different in another way though, sens can be measured. its much easier to find my sens in games knowing that my sens is usually 28cm/360. in game my sens is usually between 7-8.

i ranted a little but i was trying to explain how i know this is my sens. Im not sure how to explain how the game feels like with high input lag on mnk. but its just the same as controller though. even though their is no aim assist on mnk. usually id feel the pull with the target. with high input lag, even on mnk. its like the target isnt even there for me and i dont feel it.

@skykll21  Without the high input lag you look like an accomplished MnK player. The more you train & play you might end up increasing sens a bit.

’even though their is no aim assist on mnk. usually id feel the pull with the target. with high input lag, even on mnk. its like the target isnt even there for me and i dont feel it.’

Interesting 🧐 On controller it feels to me like 2 magnets with the same polarity repelling each other, I just cannot get on target 🎯 And other times there’s just no recognition that a player is there.

Completely ruined Apex for all of us suffering with it.

So which do you prefer now, MnK or roller?

obviously roller. other games though like rainbow six siege, hunt showdown, marvel rivals/deadlock. any battlefield game. im picking mnk. controller is still better on games like the finals, apex legends, and xdefiant. any cod like game with low time to kill though isnt as good on mnk.
