Control Lag and Bad Framerates on PS4
After season 10 dropped, I'm seeing much more control lag and lower framerates. I noticed it first in the shooting range, but it's a problem in arenas and BR matches as well. I've reworked my control...

Community ManagerThanks! I appreciate the info.
The performance icons are the red symbols that sometimes appear on the screen. They'll pop up if there's a jump in packet loss or a ping spike.
Have you noticed if this seems to be happening when the text to speech narration for game chat is playing? I saw a similar report recently that seemed like it was linked to text-to-speech, so I am curious if that might be happening here as well.
@EA_Kent No. Most of the folks I play with use microphones. I first noticed the issue in the firing range practicing solo.
I'm starting to think this is correlated with server-side lag. My test pings are very consistent (<24ms to a metro-area test server), but Apex servers have been swinging wildly between 32-80+ ms.
While I can't know how interrupts were handled before season ten, new game mechanics related to Seer tactical triggers might be bleeding noise into the control loop. The new loop might be slower, and more prone to interference from server latency variance.
Either way, my ranged shots aren't landing against in-game targets, and the visual stutter is a bit nauseating. ☹️
