Devs!? What is it going to take?
Serious question, and I would love a real world, non pandering answer from Respawn. What will it take to get these server issues resolved? And I mean resolved. Sky’s the limit wish list of of ...

@DoYaSeeMe Meh, plenty of other games run perfectly fine with a higher tick rate, even Fortnite lol
@Gabrielmojo26 The average amount of data & actions to be processed in Apex each second is higher than in Fortnite and probably peaks much higher at times. This also applies to other games, like Valorant, Overwatch, etc.. This besides the differences in game engines, server models, mechanics, etc. which make this an apples vs oranges comparison.
- @DoYaSeeMe What I’m saying is, the majority of the playerbase has forgiven Respawn time and time again, I think we’ve had enough of that now. They have the means to upgrade. Most, if not all games, kept up with the demand, Respawn seems to be stuck in the year 2000 when it comes to netcode and infrastructure. How do you screw up the game this bad, and I mean really bad, with a simple POI and Rampart buff.
@Gabrielmojo26The means to upgrade what, the internet? You can have trillions of $, you would still need many years to make it happen, without even considering technological limitations or geopolitical issues.
"Most if not all games, kept with the demand" is a highly false statement. There is no game without bugs, all those with online components have issues when the network doesn't behave properly. As games become more and more complex, there will be more and more issues when they go live. Anthem, Cyberpunk 2077 are just the the beginning.- @DoYaSeeMe You’re bias cause this is your line of work, can you not just admit Respawn has dropped the ball, and that for already many season…and the majority, as in 80% of games, don’t encounter this crap with every update, that’s just facts.
- @Gabrielmojo26 I'm actually less biased than a typical player, because I have experience from both sides.
By comparison, most games are like street cars, while Apex is more like a racecar. It breaks more often and needs more attention, but when it works well, it leaves its competition in the dust. Anthem and Cyberpunk are more like racecar prototypes that went through major failures on their initial runs. Server issues have been plaguing this game from season 0. Little has been updated or patched to create a stable environment for online play. We were told the code wheel, shoe, net etc were being used in season 2,3 & 4 to track issues to get resolution. My first game in the last week resulted in my legend freezing on screen and a code cloud just now. It took 3 attempts to log back in and by the time I did I was out of game with an abandon penalty. During this time of unloading apex I checked my internet and it was totally in spec for where it should be.
I feel the biggest frustration has been the forums moderators and game developers stance of it is your internet not our servers. Going back to seasons 2-4 with the code tracking names the connections have not been better. It is now season 10 and I see no hope for this game. Every time I come back for a bit and put up with the lag because I do enjoy playing the game. But here we are. A blurb on top of the forum about issues. Why isnt that on the game page????
I used to bounce to my pc when this was happening on the PS4, but after watching it be the same regardless of platforms enough is enough. After the hack earlier this year you think heads would have been removed from butts about stable and secure servers. Alas not so much. To all of you still playing “good luck, have fun & dont lag.”
It's interesting how just not long ago, someone attacked the servers to make a statement about the lack of action to fix servers in Titanfall, and we see the same lack of action even now. Honestly, I would be embarrassed to be a CEO of a company as big as EA, and this * plaguing my product. EA is worth tens of billions of dollars, and can't seem to figure out how to fix this? How can a company possibly let one of, if not its biggest money maker be anything less than perfect. I would be throwing every dollar at this. If you think Apex has made you money now EA, just imagine if it actually worked right!!!!!!
That's because they spend way too much time now trying to be social justice warriors, instead of game "developers".
