Why is the Nintendo Switch version of Apex Legends so broken?
Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Nintendo Switch
Please specify your platform model. Nintendo Switch
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Gamebro
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. It can happen in any part of any 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. This issue can happen at any time during a match.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? maybe 3 or 4 matches max before it happens again
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) It's been happening for about a month at the time of typing this.
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 freezes. It's not recognized as an error. The game no longer responds to anything. The only "fix" is to completely close out the game and hope that I wasn't attacked. This full reset also only sometimes works. Sometimes, I'll load back into the game and get about 1 second of playtime before it freezes again.
What should be happening instead? The game should not be crashing out with no way to respond.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play any mode on the Switch version of Apex legends. You might need to play several matches in a row before it really becomes bad.
Now Respawn, I know the Nintendo Switch isn't a technical powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination but this should not be acceptable. I can't even enjoy this new update because the game will just crash on me. Fix this.
