Persistent Sensitivity and Aim Assist Issues in Apex Legends PS5 PC
Since Seasons 22 and 23, I have encountered significant issues with aim and sensitivity in Apex Legends on PC, affecting both the firing range and live matches. The symptoms include:
- Sensitivity settings feel as though they are unintentionally altered, resulting in unnaturally high aim sensitivity.
- Reloading exhibits erratic behavior, becoming jittery before speeding up unexpectedly.
- These issues severely impact gameplay, rendering it nearly unplayable.
**Troubleshooting Steps:**
To rule out external factors, I have:
- Replaced all hardware, including three different monitors, all cables, and controllers.
- Tested on a different home network.
- Created a new account for verification, with all issues consistently reproducible.
**System and Settings Details:**
- **Platform:** PC (RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600X)
- **Controller:** DualSense
- **Sensitivity Settings:**
- 4-3 Classic, Detailed Sensitivity: Off (but configured)
- Top View Sensitivity: 2-1-7, 300-210-220-220
- Aiming Sensitivity: 135-95-250-250
- Scope Detailed Sensitivity: On, 1-1.2-1.4-1.4-1.6 (and below)
- **Monitor Refresh Rate:** 180Hz
- **Aim Assist:** Enabled
- **Symptoms Observed:** Sensitivity unexpectedly increases, and aim assist appears to vanish during firing range and matches.The view changes quickly, and recoil and stick control change suddenly, both in a match and at the shooting range.
**Additional Information:**
I have recorded clips demonstrating normal operation versus the abnormal changes, with no alterations to sensitivity settings. Due to file size, these clips have been submitted via Dropbox to EA Support.
**Current Status:**
I have been consistently reporting this issue for over a year without any progress. As a result, I have been unable to enjoy Apex Legends as before. While a resolution may not be guaranteed, I will continue to post to keep this issue visible and ensure it is not overlooked.
Please investigate and address this problem. Thank you.
