Tickrate Stuff
I think it's kind of safe to say that the tickrate for Apex is around 60Hz. Clients send their updates 60 times per second, while servers send game data up to 60 times per second. "Wait, but everyo...

@hayhor You wouldn't notice it every match but it happens several times in a few hr session and enough for it to be frustrating as hell when trying to climb ranked which is why i don't bother with it anymore even though i would like to.
I don't deny there's times when the blame is put on the game or anything and everything else in heat of the moment but other times it is just the game and people defend it like there's no issue or it couldn't possibly be improved upon.

Now let's increase the tick rate, fill up the buffers even faster, shall we? 🙂
@DoYaSeeMe So to sum it up you're basically saying that nothing can be done about the major issues of this game?
- @Cro_Pittt I'm saying that a tickrate increase may have very little to no impact, but with a potentially bad impact on stability, all this at a huge cost because it doubles the bandwidth required. Network is not Respawn's responsibility, so most related issues can't get fixed by them.
Also, no dev will tell you "nothing can be done". What's true today may be false tomorrow. Some issues are very elusive, you can spend a year looking for the needle in the haystack, but you can also be lucky enough and see its metallic reflection in the first 5 minutes. @DoYaSeeMe I'm not a technical expert, i know only the basics so i won't talk about that stuff because i don't have the knowledge to do it. But i am an Apex player. And I judge what i see. And what i've seen for 2 years is the game getting worse in some things, which is really frustrating. I love the gameplay, the gunfights, the legends concept, the lore behind them, the cosmetics and other stuff as well. But if the things that make the game run don't work properly everything else will be affected by it. People are frustrated because they don't see an improvement coming in the near future based on what we've seen in the past 2 years.
- @Cro_Pittt I can totally understand frustration. And guess what: devs feel it too! We're all human. How can we address this though?
Well, let's consider frustration ratio = expectations / reality. The higher it is, the worse things feel. To lower it efficiently, work should be done on both increasing the denominator (the value of reality) and lowering the numerator (the level of expectations). Reality is mostly on developers, providers, technology, only little push power is left in the hands of the clients. The level of expectations though, that's almost entirely in our back yard and anchoring it to the reality is where I keep aiming at with so many of my posts.
