Re: Pc players in console lobbies??

Is this guy on PC playing in the console lobbies or is there something I don't know?

He joined a match of tdm and absolutely destroyed everyone, and made a show of being confused about being in a console only lobby. Do ea let PC players into the console pool now?

CM edit: name removed, I don't think the intent was to shame the user but it may anyway, and them finding their way into the lobby was a bug on our end and not their action.

    Happening to me also. I'm on PC played 4 games of ranked and every team is 2 console players and one PC player.

    @hbuttersmgee There are two reports of this back to back. Either the update caused a glitch or you ran into someone cheating. Either way, if you see it again please report it.

    Assuming nothing about this has been officially mentioned, it's probably unintentional.

    Noticed tons of people reporting it on Reddit now. (Above 7 reports as far I'm aware)

    Getting it from both sides, so with the amount of reports at this moment it makes it feel like this issue isn't just a fluke. 

    Good idea to keep an eye on the socials, I expect the Twitter account to post something soon if the amount of reports keep flowing at this rate.

    EDIT: Seen some players get the controller icon next to their profile despite them playing on PC, interesting.

    @XHelperZ Happened to me (I'm solo on PC). Kept getting melted with wingman shots at close range and then I noticed that all of the pictures on the opposite team were console. I mentioned it on our team and the other players were like, "Yeah, thanks Apex." I don't think we even had any console players on our team.

    @LaughingSharko Console players end up in PC lobbies just by joining PC players. That is how it works when a PC player and console player join. As a PC player you do not have a choice.

    A PC player should never be in a console lobby.

    @hayhor Yes, I know. That's why it's called a bug. Isn't that what we're discussing here? Or are we talking about normal gameplay?

    Well, I guess they're testing how to kill off the game faster than it was already dying.

    @hbuttersmgee Oh no, but... shouldn't he get destroyed by all the 0.6 AA'ers? 😏

    Hey, just to pop in, this was indeed happening and was addressed shortly after it started occurring. Thanks for flagging this.

    Just had a PC player playing Horizon pop into mixtape gun run and demolished the whole lobby. Got footage showing it.

    Not. Happy.
