[CRITICAL] Season TAKEOVER Application is corrupt on PlayStation 4 Pro

Hello everyone,

I could not report this problem through the PlayStation reporting system, so I am here reporting.

This is the first season in which I have encountered this type of crash. It brings up a message that the application is corrupted and that it should be deleted and reinstalled. There is no error code, just a message with a button to close the application. And that's what I did.

I have attempted to launch the game soon after, but the screen turns black at the attempt of log-in.

The next thing that I have attempted to do is to restart the PlayStation 4 Pro. After this, I have launched the game and was able to log-in into the game and play some more, until it crashed again, telling you that the application is corrupted.

This corruption has corrupted the Apex Legends save file, but not only that, also EVERY OTHER VIDEOGAME SAVE FILE. It has ruined every single one of my playthroughs. 

This is critical and must be fixed and the game is unplayable.

The season is associated with fps drops up to 30fps and very bad connectivity with ms going above 100ms.

I have reinstalled the application, but the crash occurred again with the same error message telling me to reinstall. 

I would like also to mention that on PlayStation 4 Pro I am able to play the game when the HD textures have not been downloaded yet. With no HD textures the error did not occur. Maybe this is not a correlation with proof, but maybe your new graphics engine is the problem or It is just some bad programming.

Please fix ASAP. 

On another note, after reinstalling, recoil when shooting was almost non existant, but after a while came back to 'normal' . When the recoil was less, finally I was able to beam people for 200 damage. Very satisfying. Can you look into your recoil algorithm. The game could use some more precision.

  • It has happened while playing pubs, mixtape and ranked.

    Even with no HD textures installed the game suffers 20 to 30 fps drops.

    I have reinstalled the game about 4-5 times now. The last time it crashed upon installing the HD textures and matchmaking into a ranked game.

    Please fix.

  • With the recent patch version 2.78, the issue seems to have been solved. I have not encountered the problem again.

    Thanks a lot. 

  • The application is corrupted. 

    It just happened again after spectating a game to the very end and getting back into the lobby.

    It has also corrupted all of my save files again.

    Recently the performance of the game dipped again up to 30fps. Very bad.

    Please fix.

  • I just played 1 mixtape game and 3 sword trios on the new patch and split. The error occurred again.

    If you don't fix the game I can't play it.

  • It happened again. This time after playing the game and quitting Apex and turning off my PlayStation it caused a problem.

    I had to long press my power button and restart the PlayStation that checked for a  problem with the hard drive storage.

    I booted the game as soon as the check up finished and before even the log in screen the application got corrupted. 

    This season is really bad, it's messing with my hard drive and save files.

    Please look into this. Nobody else wrote about this, I don't know if anyone is having this same issue.

  • The error occurred again after I had just finished a ranked game and got 3rd.

    I am re-downloading the application again.

    In the mean time I thought of playing other games. One game, Need For Speed (2015), which has save data saved online, is totally corrupt and can't be launched.

    I tried Okami, and even that game has a corrupted save file.

    This game is messing with my hard drive. Can you please fix it?

    Thanks.

  • The error occurred again in the middle of gameplay of a ranked game. I relaunched the game and was able to play for another minute and the corruption reoccurred. 

    I am re-downloading.

    The game drops for about 10 to 20 fps. Also there's flipping values for ping that significantly reduce playability.

    This is what I have noticed. If anything new happens I'll post about it here.

  • New problem. Update Version 2.82 just came out.

    I downloaded it.

    After downloading the patch, the PS4 Pro does a 'Copying' phase, during which the PS4 Pro shut down completely.

    The PS4 Pro on boot checks for hard drive problems. After it completes it, it starts re-downloading the Apex update, causing again the console to shut down.

    After this has happened a few times, I have deleted Apex entirely.

    I am now re-downloading Apex.

    This is the worst season of Apex for me because of this issue of corruption.

    The content and updates have been decent in my opinion as far as Apex goes. The patch notes are fine. Just the technical issues make it unplayable.

    Is anyone looking into this?
