What do these icons even mean? These started to appear after updating the game for the Awakening Event.

  • Hello! I have a problem in the game, for some frames, the game is freezed and then, appear this symbol on the top-right side of the screen. I don't know what's the mean, but the bad thing is that my game is freezed for some frames in the middle of the battle. 

    I searched in google about this symbol, but I didn't see it anywhere. 

    Please, help me!

    Hey there @ARG-vodKA,

    I'm still looking into the meaning of these icons, so it's likely that I will be posting a thread soon that will describe everything related to these icons.

    Though you can try some basic troubleshooting:

    I've noticed that a lot of players are experiencing it, so it's most likely an issue on EA/Respawn's side.

    If that is the case, then we will have to wait for them to fix the issue.

    Heya @RagnrLothbrok16 

    As indicated in my post in this thread, it's UCMD Delay and Lag Compensation Error.

    These are usually indicators of issues with your network route or their servers.

    My personal recommendation would be contacting your ISP to check for any ongoing issues, switching datacenter in Apex could also help.

    @XHelperZ What's strange is that my game seems to be actually freezing when its having "input lag", and this has only started to happen when the event for Valkyrie's heirloom was dropped.

    So I wonder if these are actually new icons for existing issues, or if they were added because Respawn created new issues, with those issues being intentional or not.

    Well as the other icon indicates there is an issue with calculating lag compensation.

    Overall that would be an indication that the server or client is unable to predict movement, therefore it can result in freezing or stutterring.

    There is a lot of calculation done for predicting movement to make it fair for other users, so if it's not able to get or properly process these commands it'll result in that.

    As for the icons, they most likely are new as they were recently datamined by someone.

    It would otherwise have been found earlier, though it wasn't so I think we can assume they're new.

    Ever since console got the input lag issue they added it in, not sure if it was directly pushed with the issue itself though.
