Aim assist only works sometimes

Are we allowed to post YouTube links? Coz my post disappeared 👻

This is a SS of the video, go check it out. Talks about his aim being off since the update, reticle issue & blur.

Just a reminder, I posted about the reticle colour change & AA (then reposted when the dev asked us questions) like 2 years ago…

EA_Mako​  Something I need to discuss, which will hopefully assist the devs, is my experience this year with another FPS game & how that relates to skykll21​ videos from the old EA site showing resolution changes in Apex affecting aim - positively or negatively (input lag aim resist).

Last year on XDefiant I used 1080p 120Fps - didn’t change once, no major issues.

This year in Feb I found that 1080p didn’t work well anymore so I switched to 4k @ 120Fps & ADS stability was great for about a month. Until one day I booted up & it wasn’t, so I switched to 1440p for a while (about 2 weeks - got a 100+ kill game during this time) but eventually had to switch back to 1080 or 4k at some stage because ADS stability on 1440p suddenly declined. It wasn’t aim resist, it was poor ADS stability that only drastically improved by changing the resolution. Sometimes changing twice in one day.

So while we know that Apex updates can make or break aim & controller firmware can cause issues, shown over the many season’s the original thread was active, I believe there’s something going on under the hood & potentially how the game utilizes the hardware. Imo it’s got to do with the AMD CPU & GPU in the Xbox Series S/X & PS5.

From what I recall skykll21​ also had an AMD cpu or gpu in his build. My guess is it’s cpu related.

Just so y’all don’t think I’m just a rubbish player who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or that it’s some placebo effect - here’s my stats:

This year in the majority of my games the matchmaking puts me on high ping Euro servers (180’s - 230ms), which are the busiest.
