Ranked Aura
Im new to Apex Legends on the PC version, i quit before masters released and had recently returned and im now realizing that with these new "Aura's" it will show a completely different rank from what you are, Ive asked multiple people in game,"What rank are you?" they say normally say plat/diamond ect, but it will still show as they are rookie, same with me, i just hit gold 4, and i realized my aura shows rookie, if i hit pred again on PC like i have in the past, i will be very upset to see my aura is showing rookie and not Pred/Masters. please fix this issue.Extremely low CPU and GPU usage
After couple of last patches (especially after Wildcard update) performance has tanked significantly and GPU is used at most at 15-20% (as well as CPU). Setup: RTX 3050ti 4gb (laptop), cpu: Intel I9. All the drivers, game files, Windows is up to date. This underperformance is noticed exclusively in Apex Legends (other games work as intended) Already tried using dx11, clean installing all the drivers, changing priority settings in Windows, reinstalling tha game, playing through Origin and Steam, using minimal graphic settings, checking for viruses
Responsible Disclosure: Anti-Cheat Vulnerability Report
Hello Apex Legends Team, I’m reaching out as a concerned member of the Apex Legends community. Cheating in the game has reached a point where standard reporting and in-game measures are no longer effective. Commercially available cheats are publicly accessible, allowing cheaters to disrupt both casual and ranked gameplay. The issue is not only technical — it’s also impacting community trust and player retention. Many players are frustrated and losing faith in fair competition, which threatens the long-term health of Apex Legends. I urge your team to take stronger, more transparent measures: Increase real-time detection and enforcement against cheaters. Communicate openly with the community about anti-cheat updates and strategies. Consider collaborating with security researchers or ethical hackers to stay ahead of commercial cheat developers. Your dedication to fair play has always been one of Apex Legends’ strengths. Addressing this cheating crisis proactively will restore confidence and protect the integrity of the game. Thank you for your attention and action on this matter. What can be done: Hardware-level anti-cheat (like kernel drivers or hardware ID bans/specially they openly sharing video that is disabling TPM and Secure boot they are somehow bypassing the cheats also people use something called DMA ) — risky but effective. AI-based behavioral detection that flags non-human patterns (flick speed and many more)
Thunderbolt Audio Issues
Since the last EAC update in September I have been unable to play due to issues with my Thunderbolt Audio Interface. I have a Presonus Quantum 2626 that I have been using for 4 years and never had an issue with Apex. At this point I have narrowed it down to The Thunderbolt interface specifically with Apex. This issue is not present for any other game or system on my PC. I have done everything from a fresh Windows 11 install to Bios Updates and more. It seems that when the game is running there must be a hook running through the kernel system slower than the Thunderbolt clock speed and causing the interface to crash then the game locks up until the interface is power-cycled. It takes less than 5 minutes to replicate the issue repeatedly. If I disconnect my interface and purely use Windows Audio from the headphone jack the issue disappears but I don't think this should be the solution as I have played Apex with this exact setup for years. Would love to see this addressed as I much prefer my normal audio setup for streaming, monitoring, and recording purposes. Thanks
Aura Bug
So, luckily its not happening to me, but two of my friends their Auras look like they are blank. To them it looks like their rank color. They've tried equipping and unequpping it and it still bugged. They've also tried restarting the game and that doesnt fix it. Picture of my friends Aura below. I just wanted to bring it to your attention just in case if anyone else is having this problem. New update: Mine is also now bugged.One of my kills wasn't counted
So i was playing ranked plat 1 and i had 5 kills 1 assist and 2 participations.I was playing top 3 and i was killed but when i cheked my stats and points 1 of my kills wasn't counted. I didn't lose a lot but i think this is a bug that sould be fixed.At the end my kills at the summary sections were 5 but the experience section showed that i have only 4 kills and the game even didn't coun't the points. Thank you, here is how it looks in game.
Bugged Texture on Olympus
Was playing Olympus and on Icarus ship (the tail part) found this probably bugged texture you can hide behind. It's like an invisible wall from the inside: can't walk through, cant climb, etc. Could be used as a place to hide, which is not really fair, because enemies won't see you through it. I'm not sure if it's a one-time bug, but it surely was in my ranked game, both teammates were also able to see it. Screenshot and a video:
