Season 8 Patch Issues

There's a few issues in the Chaos Theory event:

- Entering/Exiting ring flare sound effect is GLOBAL to all players

- Speaking of sounds, certain actions are louder or quieter based on how big the room is, well I understand how echos and whatnot works, but its not even that, open area = you hear nothing, closed area = you hear everything, including the voices inside enemy Wraith's hea- well maybe not the voices, but you get it. I should not hear gun shots near me, 100+ meters away, punches, walk/run sounds, etc. all at once and loudly if its not there, and then not hear anything, even though it is there.

- You cannot loot heat shields without sacrificing items when you have full inventory. Meaning, you have to drop something to fill this "extra" slot.

- More rampant cheaters everywhere, a lot of them are even streaming

- Intense lag/rubberbanding/lentence issues, and whatnot. Guys this is NOT our internet connection, so please quit telling us to "check our connections".

- At least for me, the game is randomly activating different kinds of buttons, if I hit grenade, the game makes me use my tactical, if I reload, I punch, etc. keys work as intended on the next key press but completely throws off a match

- I'm hearing double sound audio, its mainly voice lines that sounds like one line with an echo of the same or another line.
Example:
Ring closing, you better hurry!
---Ring closing, oh this is fun!

The -'s are offset of time.

It's honestly sad that we keep getting collection events shoved into our faces, while underlying issues are still a thing (mainly talking about bugs, audio, and such, not cheaters as that's not as easy to "fix".

In the end, I'm not at all surprised.

Edited: Adding on to the issues:

- It's very hard to see out of heat shields in later rings

- The sound of heat shields are VERY loud.

- Guns with select modes (like prowler and hemlok) shows the same icon, so you can't tell if its in single fire, burst, etc.

- Gliched club names

  • - Entering/Exiting ring flare sound effect is GLOBAL to all players 

    Respawn really doesnt care to bug check their patches since they know we players will do it for them. Its the same every major patch. Its released with tons of bugs and over the season, they gradually patch these bugs out until the end of the season when the game is almost bug free but then its time for the next bug-filled patch. Not a very professional approach if you ask me.

    - You cannot loot heat shields without sacrificing items when you have full inventory. Meaning, you have to drop something to fill this "extra" slot.

    If you drop your current item in your survival slot, you can loot the new one from ground or death box without having to put it in your inventory first.

    - More rampant cheaters everywhere, a lot of them are even streaming

    Havent seen a single cheater in a while. I only saw ONE early this season in a Platinum1 game. His account was allowed to play to Diamond 4 but then the progress stopped so I guess he was banned. What server do you play on if I may ask?

    - Intense lag/rubberbanding/lentence issues, and whatnot. Guys this is NOT our internet connection, so please quit telling us to "check our connections".

    Oh yes, this season has been one of the worst one ever. I have constantly 179 FPS and 25-40 ping usually and on a good server, the game still stutters a bit, especially when doing fast movements like Pathfinder swings or Octane jumps etc. But worst case is when the game is rubberbanding you back and forth like crazy. One recent match started without the rubber banding but after like 4 minutes, it started. And approx 30 sec after I noticed the first rubber banding, an enemy squad pushed me, almost as if it was THEY who caused the rubber banding hmmm

  • I couldn't agree more with all of this. That all being said, they need to address the non-bug of teammates' names disappearing during ADS!

    @Balladalidila Considering I get players from like Europe and Asia, I really don't know. I imagine it's the NA servers, although I randomly get people who speak a language that isn't English or Spanish.
  • @Midnight9746 very well structured content in your post, i agree with all (as they've been occurring on my side as well, except for the glitched clan names).

    I don't know if it started with the previous one or with this event, but for some reason Clan announcements, invites, promoting and interactions are also affected.

    I see some of the issues were fixed, so I'll cross off what got fixed:

    (Fixed) Entering/Exiting ring flare sound effect is GLOBAL to all players

    (Mostly anyways) Speaking of sounds, certain actions are louder or quieter based on how big the room is, well I understand how echos and whatnot works, but its not even that, open area = you hear nothing, closed area = you hear everything, including the voices inside enemy Wraith's hea- well maybe not the voices, but you get it. I should not hear gun shots near me, 100+ meters away, punches, walk/run sounds, etc. all at once and loudly if its not there, and then not hear anything, even though it is there

    (Not Fixed) You cannot loot heat shields without sacrificing items when you have full inventory. Meaning, you have to drop something to fill this "extra" slot.

    (This isn't something that seems easy to fix, and I'm probably just playing against pros.) More rampant cheaters everywhere, a lot of them are even streaming

    (Mostly anyways) Intense lag/rubberbanding/lentence issues, and whatnot. Guys this is NOT our internet connection, so please quit telling us to "check our connections".

    (I haven't had random abilities activated since 3/15/2021 patch) At least for me, the game is randomly activating different kinds of buttons, if I hit grenade, the game makes me use my tactical, if I reload, I punch, etc. keys work as intended on the next key press but completely throws off a match

    (Still occurring) I'm hearing double sound audio, its mainly voice lines that sounds like one line with an echo of the same or another line.
    Example:
    Ring closing, you better hurry!
    ---Ring closing, oh this is fun!

    The -'s are offset of time. I'm now hearing two different voice lines, such as a character saying "There are no ring flares near us" and while also saying another voice line at the same time. (Originally the voice lines was just the announcer)

    (Its somewhat manageable but still hard to see out of) It's very hard to see out of heat shields in later rings

    (Somewhat fixed) - The sound of heat shields are VERY loud.

    (Fixed) Guns with select modes (like prowler and hemlok) shows the same icon, so you can't tell if its in single fire, burst, etc.

    (Fixed) Gliched club names

    @Midnight9746 I would say that the intense lag is still very prominent and most definitely the solo filling when the "Fill Squad" box is checked hasn't been resolved either. Other than that (as of 3/17/2021) the only other issue I have largely seen/heard is the double audio/voice lines of the announcer and legends. Seems they are working on some, but the first 2 in particular hinder a LOT of gameplay for players like me.

    I used to play this game for hours and now I'm lucky to even get one game in and that's with ALL the issues I described above.
  • @Midnight9746 would you know anything about this glitch hey  a few days a go i was opening a apex pack and ive already had been lucky and got an heirloom before i had three apex packs i opened 1 it shined up all red all of them then sent me to the main menu saying an error code i forgot to clip it because i thought restarting the application would help but when i went in the game i dident have my apex packs nor my heirloom shards
