The new apex update seems to have introduced, along with numerous other issues, some really bad input lag and is mostly apparent on next gen consoles from what I’m seeing. Can this be looked into? Th...

Community ManagerHi there, @Viarr
Did you switch to a next gen console today? Which system are you experiencing input lag with?
@EA_AljoI re-downloaded the XSX version today and the input lag is pretty bad, not sure if that’s because I’m more accustomed to 120hz now only, or if the vertical sync issue hasn’t been fixed yet? Either way it is really bad and it’s the only thing keeping me from diving back in because I can’t get used to it and I get annihilated
I’m on Xbox series x. I’ve been playing apex on the series x for the past year and this update made the input lag worse substantially.

Yes. I am using a 1ms response time monitor, my game settings are as they were before and I have no problems with other games. The game is constantly dropping frames aswell causing stutters every 10 seconds. This is not an issue on my end.
- @Viarr Yeah I've experienced the same & I'm on XBOX Series X as well. The input lag is bad sometimes it doesn't even register me pressing the button at all...
- @SILVERisSORRY Alphaintel said that plugging your xbox controller to the console helps. Hope all of these xbox bugs get fixed soon for you guys.

Are you also @0v0_legendz? If so, can you list out the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far? I'd like to avoid repeating steps.
Hardware wise:
-Xbox series S
-I've tried two different monitors, TN panel and VA panel both 1ms response times.
-I've used 3 different types of HDMI cables, 1random HDMI able from .junk drawer, ,2 oem HDMI cables, and
and 1 HDMI premium from critchfield.
-Ive separated the Sources for the powercables for my Xbox and my monitor, so that they are under separate circuit breakers. (Completely unnecessary, but now I know)
-Ive tried using different HDMI ports..., Besides the one junk HDM, iam using HDMI 2.0.
-Ive used a calculator to confirm I can run 120 , 1440p at32 bits on 2.0 and I can.
- Oem Xbox controller , ran wirelessly, and wired.
- 2 Razer wolverine controllers, wired only, With various USBC cables. IN particular, I've used a high data transfer cable,including an ACTIVE USB cable.
As far as hardware goes, I've exhausted my options.
Software
- I've restart, my Xbox using Google home,using the home button on 3 different controllers,,Usingmy phone, Unplugging the device itself. and pressing the power button and then discharging it.
- I've uninstalled and reinstalled the following: Razer Xbox accessories, apex legends, controller testing apps, Fortnite
- I've updated the following devices or programs: All controllers, razor app, accessories app, controller testing apps, Apex legends, Fortnite, elden rings.Monitor software updated, drivers Included.
- I've reset the cache on my xbox, and factory restore my monitor.
- I Disabled capture, and removed Twitch.
- I turned off aimbot, and uninstalled wallhacks, then used bloodhound as crutch.
- tried inputting the Konami ate every screen.
Connection
- Ethernet,and WIRELESS
- all paramaters for portforwarding has been entered 3x and correctly. I can't tell the difference between Google DNS or cloudflare. I've used three different kinds but I only remember 2 brands.
- Qqos tagging, nat type open, Ipv4 + Ipv6, 40ms -50ms speed is aight.
- My Xbox is included in the Pinholes list for the modem firewall.
- Wasted more money, buying a new Ethernet cable and Powered hub.
- Unplugged ethernet, and plugged it into laptop. Not for My specific reason other than I'm not letting a second go by without getting my money's worth.
- Wifi statistics were not worth mentioning or different enough to matter.
- Not To be petty, But I took it a step further and tethered my Xbox to my phone, and It ran fine, except on Apex.
- pretty much everything you will read about in this post is About perfectly good, functionaldevices/ systems, Handled and operated by a competent person.
Settings/Configs.- The controller Should technically be the Primary source ,So this Is where I'll start off and simply go down the signal chain, listing settings I've "touched".
- minimized deadzone,Increased sensitivity,
NOT DONE maybel8r
