Re: Aim Assist nerf season 17 on consoles

i forgot to add because it seemed i didnt need to point it out but now i think about it how would you know, is i had to be in the lobby when i set the video and other tabs to default and backed out of the game in xbox series s to reset the resolution to 1080p then i went into the firing range and there was aim assist from the front of the dummy and then in the game.

after i got my aim assist back in the firing range i set my resolution back to 720p and after i got out of the game and went back into the firing range my aim assist was gone so i exited the firing range and went to xbox home and settings and tv resolution and reset my resolution in xbox series s to 1080p and then went back into the firing range and i got my aim assist back.

    @all I can confirm that @gg123xyz ‘s solution does not work. I do believe that they just experienced the buggy-ness of AA turning on and off at random. I tried it in the firing range, and AA was still turning on and off randomly for me. Also had some whiffed punches that looked like they should have hit which means that the punching mechanic that makes meele on pc and console better is broken on console at least.

  • i left the game again and went back into the firing range and the second time i did this there was no aim assist so i backed out of the firing range went to xbox series s video settings in apex legends and reset apex legends video settings to default it was already default i went back into firing range and my aim assist was back.

    this is on 1080p resolution. so every game you have to reset the video settings to default to get aim assist it looks like.

    set the video resolution to either 1080p which is my tv native resolution or your tv native resolution and then reset the video settings in apex legends to default then go into the firing range and strafe with the  gun there should be aim assist from the front of the dummy. 10 feet or so in front of the dummy. if not then it works for me is all i can say. but i have to keep resetting the video settings in apex legends every time it seems for it to work and this is in the lobby then in the firing range theres aim assist and in the game.

    @gg123xyz Yeah, it's great with workarounds. My favourite workaround however is that they fix their game.

    @gg123xyzWe are onto something here, there is something related to the video output, but its also not consistent, sometimes i get AA on the back of the enemy but not on the front of him.
