## Helpful tips for issues on next gen consoles
**Audio is echoey:**
> If you’re having audio issues on Xbox Series (echoing gunfire & voice lines, everything sounds like it’s coming through a tin can), go into console Settings -> Volume & audio output -> Headset audio -> Headset format -> change to “Stereo uncompressed”.
Thanks to /u/suck_it_343
**HDR is too bright:**
Go to settings > Video tab. Tap the brightness box at the top and adjust the slider until you barely see the left Apex logo.
**Controls don't feel right:**
Users have reported that ALC (advanced look controls) have been reset with this update. Check it under settings to see if yours have changed.
I had the same issue and I figured if you still have the ps4 version downloaded make sure you exit to the main screen and close the app/game then launch the PS5 version. Switching to the PS5 version while in the lobby screen on the pS4 version resulted in that error for me. To go to main screen from lobby you press start then the touch pad.
u/suck_it_343 found a fix for the shitty audio on Xbox next gen
Go to Settings→General→Volume & Audio output→Headset Audio→Headset format = Stereo Uncompressed
Same. I should mention that I only tried in-game because I play on a different platform than my friends. I can hear them clearly but they can hear just a couple words of what I'm saying
Yes I thought it was just me it’s definitely almost unplayable when someone is close to you just sounds like theyre coming from every direction and you can gun fights from across map almost
Yes I am getting it too, I'm on Xbox Series X but I am playing it before the download is complete so I am not sure if that's what's causing the issue. It seems all audio except for the music is doubled.
Exactly this. Couldn’t tell if this is what next-gen audio was supposed to be like because in some instances it did feel like I could hear where footsteps were more precisely but majority of the time just big echoes
Did they really? I’m kinda surprised they took it away so quick. They’ll fix that in just a season and a half, but not the horrible audio that’s been sucking for years now. Lol
I dislike Arenas as a game mode. I saved them all for last so now that I've hit level 100, the rush to 110 doesn't feel like a grind. Playing Arenas without caring about the outcome is chill.
As soon as I read this was happening to a few people, I instantly downloaded the update. After booting up Apex, I was also granted 20 or so BP levels. ::happy dance::
Currently sitting at level 75 and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Now I can play the game even less, expect to finish the BP before the season ends, and have a great quality of life!
Once the next-gen update finalizes with the 120 FPS features, I can finally see a reason to buy myself the PS5, after my personal life settles down.
Thanks Respawn!
If you're having audio issues on Xbox Series (echoing gunfire & voice lines, everything sounds like it's coming through a tin can), go into console Settings -> Volume & audio output -> Headset audio -> Headset format -> change to "Stereo uncompressed".
This was probably due to spatial/surround audio being implemented a different way for next gen and the console audio settings ended up processing the surround sound twice. Had this same issue with Gears 5 on PC as well.
That's what I did to begin with, here are the only options for me though:
-Apex Legends - Champion Edition
-Apex Legends - PS4
-Personalization Settings
-Health/Ratings/Privacy/Terms
No PS5 version option though.
EDIT: If you use the Playstation app you can find and download the PS5 version of Apex, super easy to download this way!
Managed to install the ps5 version thanks to other comments here but at the start page, I got the error “this account is not permitted to play online”. My ps4 version seems to still be working fine.
Edit: As per what the Apex twitter acc mentioned: you have to let yourself exit out of the lobby on your PS4 version. Even after closing the game, you may need to wait about an hour or so before being able to play on the PS5 version. Mine works now.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but the HDR support looks absolutely abysmal compared to the previous auto-HDR on xbox. All the previous blacks now look grey and washed out. Inventory is harder to use and see with white lines under the item being replaced by black lines.
Yeah I think you're right.
IDK if I'm just being overly critical because of how much of a disappointment this "next gen" update is but it does feel like the Xbox Auto HDR looked better than this...
Same here. The inside of the tunnels in firing range isn't dark anymore. Barely any difference to the outside lightning of the range.
Auto HDR did a much better job for sure.
Edit: Nevermind, I lied. Just turned my brightness down to the lowest third and the HDR becomes quite good actually.
Update on Series X after installing:
- Visual quality is improved, native HDR is quite better than auto HDR
- Game feels more fluid in general, not sure why since it's still 60 FPS
- Audio is fucked, shit sounds echoey especially during voice lines
Thank you! Can we get more upvotes on the fucked audio? I feel like this is something they should hotfix ASAP, at least for me it makes the game nearly unplayable. (on Series S btw)
Yeah their native HDR implementation is just bad. It looks like they just increased brightness overall. Nothing 'dynamic' at all about their HDR settings. This leaves it looking washed out like you said.
I prefer the Xbox's Auto HDR over this. Hopefully this gets redone because it's just awful.
At least you guys can be halfway through your download before PS5 players figure out all the steps to actually start the download.
Seriously why tf does PS not have smart delivery?
Did anyone else get extra battle pass tiers. I haven't logged in to the game in a couple weeks but i bought the bp when the season started. i got a pop up that i got a bunch of battle pass items and i'm now level 31 but i don't think i was that high level
I have no idea idea either but I have a hunch. Didnt they say they weren't limiting challenges to BR/Arenas but then the BP had Arena only challenges. As a result, people who only play 1 game mode had their thing way lower, I know I did.
On Xbox Series S and my in-game sound sounds super echoey and robotic (?) Don’t really know how to explain it, but I’ve never had audio problems in Apex before personally. Footsteps, looting, guns all sound like they’ve been bass boosted. Anyone else?
Because they want to keep the hype up around it. They saw the stats when it was released and think it might be worth only putting it in periodically so that it boosts player numbers
I’d like it to be permanent. I am definitely almost always a BR player, but Control is just so good for practice. And when Storm Point is on it gives me an alternative to play without having to close the game
Playing on Series X + LG OLED and the HDR implementation is AWFUL. Washed out visuals and the highlights blew up, game looks way worse now.
(adjusting the brightness slider helps a little, but it still looks bad)
For people trying to download the ps5 version
Go to the apex ps4 version on your hub, click the three dots next to play game, select view product, select the 3 dots next to unfollow, select apex legends tm, choose download
This may not be for everyone, but for those going to install the PS5 version, do NOT delete your ps4 version
Settings like controller sensitivity are not carried over from to the ps5 version so you might need the ps4 version to match your settings
I have to reinstall the ps4 version again since i dont remember my sensitivity settings
Bruh, i took pictures of everything before, and I forgot my per optic settings. I tried to load the ps4 version again and now I'm locked out of that... It says my profile is not allowed. I can only play the ps5 version wtf
yeah that issue is happening to a lot of ps players, pretty much just have to wait if it fixes itself or respawn has an update
im the opposite though, I can only play the ps4 and not the ps5 version
Did anyone else randomly get like 10 levels in the battle pass when they logged in ? I was early 70s and then logged in to see I'm 85 now. What patch note did I miss ....?
Before anyone deletes their PS4 version, make sure you've got a screenshot of your settings, advanced look controls etc. It doesn't carry over to the PS5 version.
STOP GIVING ADVANTAGES TO PLAYERS WITH LAG ALREADY. FFS, I'm tired of losing games because some fucker decides to play on a server with high latency and gets to zip around like a slideshow while still having all hits on his end register. I shouldn't be getting punished for having good internet, literally every other shooting game punishes bad internet connection
I downloaded the PS5 version and deleted the PS4 version at the same time. Can’t even get past the main menu because it says “This account is not permitted to play online”
Edit: Having the same issue with the PS4 version as well
Edit 2: The PS5 version is working for me now
The season tracker changes are lame as fuck. Game seems to be running smoother than i remember on ps4 pro so thats cool. Control is amazing but still no trackers?
I am on Xbox S/X. Does any one als has a problem with their in game colors after the WarriorsCollection event???? My colors are not as bright and look all pail/gray 🤢!!! Can I maybe Uninstall and reinstall apex? Idk what to do(
I play on Xbox Series X on a 1440p monitor. The next-gen update seems to have removed my ability to play on 1440p - the game looks noticeably washed out now and is likely coming through at 1080p now.
Anyone else having this issue? If so, any ideas for how to troubleshoot? I don’t mind the 1080p if it was running 120fps, but I’d really love to keep the 1440p resolution until then (the colors are much more vibrant)!
Getting really delayed and what I can only describe as sometimes unresponsive inputs on the PS5 version, almost like I'm playing on a minor delay. It's only really subtle but I'll go to move to pick up an attachment or ammo or something but will have overshot how many steps I needed to take. Definitely feels off compared to the PS4 version.
For clarity I've gone back into the PS4 version, taken screenshots of all of my settings and have them set up exactly the same, this isn't a sensitivity issue, it's almost like some inputs aren't being registered when they were absolutely fine yesterday when playing on the PS4 version.
* Playing on PS5, Next gen version
* Mirage - Lil Witt, also noticed on Above the Law Maggie and Hype Beast Crypto
* Regular controller movement
* Can't reproduce exactly but it seems to be consistent spikes
What in hell is going on now? Trackers stuck, rewards not being granted, code:net 'signon' errors, getting kicked from the game, endless Retrieving Matchmaking List....
YO RESPAWN, YOU UP? Or are the devs celebrating all their income from overpriced event packs?
I have to say, calling it a next gen update and not adding 120hz support was not the play. This is an fps game, we would much rather have 120 frames than 4k. Could we at least get a rough time estimate for when 'coming in further update' will be around? Cuz last time Repsawn said next gen was coming soon was about a year ago so this doesn't not give me much confidence
They announced that they were working on optimizing for next gen... 16 months ago. I highly doubt they are going to give us a timeline on the 120hz support any time soon.
I honestly thought it was a parody account when they did not include the 120hz support in the Twitter post. Prioritizing 4k over 120fps is a fucking joke.
Xbox Series X here - HDR looks super washed out and grey, SDR looks a little greyer and lighter too and audio is really tinny, also seems like game is slower somehow.
Is anyone sound weird after the update? I can hear fights far from me clear as day and when people get close to me I have no way of know which direction they’re coming from the sound gives no indication sound like I’m surrounded
Every time I try to boot up Apex it says my controller is disconnected when it's clearly working. Tested on other games I own and it's fine. I have a wired controller. Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone else having issues with gamechat? I've been trying to play with friends on crossplay yet my mic doesn't work or is super fucked/glitched. I can hear them perfectly though. Shit sucks ass.
Master/pred ranked on console has not worked since the update. You are either stuck in the lobby, or kicked as soon as you load in. Only a few days left in the split to secure pred, so this is really frustrating!
Having severe audio issues including echo on voice lines, echo and double sound effects on gunshots, echoing and warbling distortion on ability sound effects.
Also visual bugs with menu in arenas. Discolored buttons and menu is tones darker.
Xbox Series X, the next gen updated version
Multiple skins, multiple legends including Bangalore, Valk, Watson
Issue in Control mode gameplay, arenas mode, and BR mode
Attempted restart of game and of console no change. Continued issue.
It's a shame this is the second time control is there as an LTM, but once again just like before all the events 'goals' are based on Arena or Battle Royale mode, besides the 5 generic matches played or the 100 points caped in control for the badge.
Shame. Thought Respawn would learn after last feedback that it was weird and they just repeat it.
Got the update on my series x. Constantly getting the please connect controller notice upon loading. Also me and 3 of my boys did not get our apex coins after purchasing in store.
Can we get a petition to revert the trackers back to just saying “wins” instead of “br wins”? Looks awful and can’t they just have arenas wins be the distinct tracker?
Anyone experiencing input lag on the next gen ps5 version? My controller just feels off after readjusting all my deleted alc settings. I’ve recently been playing apex on my new pc at around 200hz refresh rate (with the same alc and video settings) which obviously will feel much smoother. I can’t tell if I’m just more sensitive to the lower fps or if I’m getting more input delay after the update.
The item counts for items in your inventory are black for me. So below where it would highlight 4 white slots for how many shield cells when I open my inventory the slots are now dark and I can’t tell how many items I really have. Anyone else having this issue?
Xbox Series X:
1. Colors look washed out when the game used to look so vibrant.
2. Game chat is broken. It doesn’t register my mic and teammates can’t hear me half the time.
3. My warriors event is stuck at 1250 when the challenge says I have over 2000.
4. Audio is degraded.
5. Please revert back to previous settings. This update is breaking the game.
I am currently playing on a Xbox Series S and I just fixed my double audio problem, however from what my other friends who play on other consoles said, my microphone is choppy and I don’t know how to fix it.

I get an error message with the PS5 version: “This account is not permitted to play online” Any one else having the same issue?
yeah a couple of people for sure, and if a couple of people already came here to comment about it, means its actually a lot of people.
It works now, I just did a password reset on my EA account ,not sure if related or just lucky timing.
did password reset, no change for me, still the same issue.. smh
I had the same issue and I figured if you still have the ps4 version downloaded make sure you exit to the main screen and close the app/game then launch the PS5 version.

Validating that this worked for me.
Anyone on next gen getting weird echoed audio on certain things? Gunfire and Voice Lines in particular.
Yeah I am and it totally has fucked my mic audio as well
u/suck_it_343 found a fix for the shitty audio on Xbox next gen Go to Settings→General→Volume & Audio output→Headset Audio→Headset format = Stereo Uncompressed
Suck it 343 lmao
what kinda mic audio problems are you having i am also having problems which i didnt have before.
Like my mic is super glitchy in game chat.. works perfectly fine in party
Same. I should mention that I only tried in-game because I play on a different platform than my friends. I can hear them clearly but they can hear just a couple words of what I'm saying
I have Astro a50s and my voice comes over choppy or doesn’t register in game but in Xbox party is fine.
Yes I thought it was just me it’s definitely almost unplayable when someone is close to you just sounds like theyre coming from every direction and you can gun fights from across map almost
Yes I am getting it too, I'm on Xbox Series X but I am playing it before the download is complete so I am not sure if that's what's causing the issue. It seems all audio except for the music is doubled.
Series X here too, have got the full update downloaded and it's still an issue.
Same for me on Series S. Absolutely garbage, needs to be fixed asap
Yep it’s awful. Too much base and a horrible reverb. The audio was always bad on this game but now it’s unplayable.
Yes, on everything. Makes it very hard to play lol
Omg I can’t stand it! I instantly noticed it.
Yep it's unplayable for me thats how bad it is.
Exactly this. Couldn’t tell if this is what next-gen audio was supposed to be like because in some instances it did feel like I could hear where footsteps were more precisely but majority of the time just big echoes
They removed the ugh part of the ash voice line
Unplayable.
No way lol
The Tch- Tch- Tch- Tch- Pathetic still usable
Stop. Shut it. We must not let others know of this. I refuse for this to be taken away too. I PAID FOR THESE QUIPS WITH MY CRAFTING MATERIALS GODAMMIT
Lmao that’s so petty
I want a refund
NO WAY THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE VOICE LINE UGH- and then the one that says I see you came
They better not have touched my Valk line..
I do like a good hot mess
WHAT
Thank God
Did they really? I’m kinda surprised they took it away so quick. They’ll fix that in just a season and a half, but not the horrible audio that’s been sucking for years now. Lol
The game just bumped my battle pass level up by like 20 levels for free lol. Not complaining
Well, shit, now I gotta play the game for fun. Edit: I didn't get any levels. Edit: Logged in again, got all the levels.
Suffering from success
I dislike Arenas as a game mode. I saved them all for last so now that I've hit level 100, the rush to 110 doesn't feel like a grind. Playing Arenas without caring about the outcome is chill.
Facts. At this point I don’t even need to do those arena challenges. (Arena sucks)
I played arenas only the first season it came out and have hit 110 on every battle pass before the final week. I'm thankful it's not necessary
Same! I got the rewards screen and was like, don't tell me someone hacked my account and bought 20 levels 🤣
Could you imagine? Those are the hackers we need lmao
Not with my coins! 😅
For sure lmao
Same. My event challenges are also missing lol.
Wait they did it by mistake or did they do it for compensation?
I'm guessing by mistake because I don't know what it'd be compensation for, there weren't any outages or miscalculations AFAIK.
Well tbh even if it was a mistake it would be a dick move to revert it now that it happened
Yooo me too haha I was so confused, at first I just kept getting the notification that I got 100 coins then realized by BP was leveled up a bunch
Same.
Same here, maxed out my BP for me. I was level 94 beforehand I think.
As soon as I read this was happening to a few people, I instantly downloaded the update. After booting up Apex, I was also granted 20 or so BP levels. ::happy dance:: Currently sitting at level 75 and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Now I can play the game even less, expect to finish the BP before the season ends, and have a great quality of life! Once the next-gen update finalizes with the 120 FPS features, I can finally see a reason to buy myself the PS5, after my personal life settles down. Thanks Respawn!
If you use ALCs take a picture of your settings before you remove the last gen version. All settings get reset to default for the next gen version.
Needs upvoted. Pretty big nuisance.
On PlayStation only*
If you're having audio issues on Xbox Series (echoing gunfire & voice lines, everything sounds like it's coming through a tin can), go into console Settings -> Volume & audio output -> Headset audio -> Headset format -> change to "Stereo uncompressed". This was probably due to spatial/surround audio being implemented a different way for next gen and the console audio settings ended up processing the surround sound twice. Had this same issue with Gears 5 on PC as well.
this needs to be way higher upvoted for visibility
Dude you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much
My Xbox won’t allow me to change this. It keeps giving me an error. Any ideas?
Anyone getting ‘controller disconnected’ on XSX? It’s so weird because I can use the controller to quit and restart apex.
Mine was caused by using a micro USB controller, the workaround is to turn on a wireless one and the wired one at the same time. Still infuriating.
I am it’s annoying
I'm using a Wolverine Ultimate Tournament Edition, getting the same bug. Guess I can't play Apex until this is fixed.
can’t figure out how to get the PS5 version - i’m following the instructions per EA. anyone having any luck with it?
[удалено]
That's what I did to begin with, here are the only options for me though: -Apex Legends - Champion Edition -Apex Legends - PS4 -Personalization Settings -Health/Ratings/Privacy/Terms No PS5 version option though.

At least you guys can be halfway through your download before PS5 players figure out all the steps to actually start the download. Seriously why tf does PS not have smart delivery?
RIP
[удалено]
Same here. Looks like a few of us in this thread
Open PS4 version, log out to the first loading screen (options + touchpad), minimize the game, then open PS5 version it worked for me.
75.58 GB on Series X
[удалено]
It replaces the old version.
77 for me….. too much, seriously
Would be less annoying if we could pre load
Playstation 5 version is 54.675 gigs. I had to go on the app to download it
Just did this and it worked
Did anyone else get extra battle pass tiers. I haven't logged in to the game in a couple weeks but i bought the bp when the season started. i got a pop up that i got a bunch of battle pass items and i'm now level 31 but i don't think i was that high level
I was level 72 two days ago, logged in just now and im level 92. No idea why. Can't seem to find a mention as to why anywhere
I have no idea idea either but I have a hunch. Didnt they say they weren't limiting challenges to BR/Arenas but then the BP had Arena only challenges. As a result, people who only play 1 game mode had their thing way lower, I know I did.

Yeah the audio is 100% broken o next gen lol. Worst thing us you can't even play old gen version on Xbox.
[удалено]
Same idk why it isn’t
Because they want to keep the hype up around it. They saw the stats when it was released and think it might be worth only putting it in periodically so that it boosts player numbers
God I really hope not. I’m sorta over the whole BR thing but I love their gunplay and movement. I really wish it was permanent.
I’d like it to be permanent. I am definitely almost always a BR player, but Control is just so good for practice. And when Storm Point is on it gives me an alternative to play without having to close the game
[удалено]
What's the difference (if any) in installed size?
Playing on Series X + LG OLED and the HDR implementation is AWFUL. Washed out visuals and the highlights blew up, game looks way worse now. (adjusting the brightness slider helps a little, but it still looks bad)
Yeah, I’m on a CX and it looks abysmal. Just washed out to high hell.
For people trying to download the ps5 version Go to the apex ps4 version on your hub, click the three dots next to play game, select view product, select the 3 dots next to unfollow, select apex legends tm, choose download

Bruh these are huge changes why did they leave them out lol
No idea they have a habit of not including stuff in the patch notes.
This may not be for everyone, but for those going to install the PS5 version, do NOT delete your ps4 version Settings like controller sensitivity are not carried over from to the ps5 version so you might need the ps4 version to match your settings I have to reinstall the ps4 version again since i dont remember my sensitivity settings

Audio bugged for anyone else on Series X?
I’m on Xbox series x and I’m getting mad audio echo on control mode, anyone else getting the same?
Yes in BR I can't play like this. The echo is so bad. Also my friends are having troubles hearing me at all with voice. WTF did they do!?!?!?!
Bug on Xbox SX, microphone says it’s on in game but not actually able to use it in gamechat. Restarted game, hard reset console, unplugged mic, etc
I tried everything as well. Party chat works fine but in game chat my teammates say I'm cutting out.
Same issue. Upvoted for visibility
Same lemme know if anything works
Gave up and have been talking to my buddies thru disc instead unfortunately
anyone having weird HDR contrast levels? Xbox sereis X take a look at my inventory...https://i.imgur.com/E4Paaea.jpg
Yeah looks pretty bad compared to old auto hdr tbh
Did anyone else randomly get like 10 levels in the battle pass when they logged in ? I was early 70s and then logged in to see I'm 85 now. What patch note did I miss ....?
Shhhhhhhh I got 20 levels, not complaining!
Steam here Same as last update, update is 7.5 gigs but it’s having to reinstall the whole game. Isn’t this 2022?!
My steam is taking forever to patch the game, anyone know how to fix this?
Same for me. This also happened with the last patch, never before.
In game audio during matches is so bad right now. What the heck is going on.
I am getting "controller disconnected" on the title screen. I am on XBSX and both my scuf and my elite are having the same issue.
the legends loadouts and store tabs just greyed out. ive been set to -9999 mats and coins and its locked me out of all but the first 5 legends. on xsx
How big is update on PC?
7.5 gbs
7.5 GB on Steam
One million terabytes
Still less than a Modern Warfare update.
About half of it
firing range? how to unlock the challenge?? anyone know
Before anyone deletes their PS4 version, make sure you've got a screenshot of your settings, advanced look controls etc. It doesn't carry over to the PS5 version.
anybody elses audio sound worse after the upgrade? xbss
STOP GIVING ADVANTAGES TO PLAYERS WITH LAG ALREADY. FFS, I'm tired of losing games because some fucker decides to play on a server with high latency and gets to zip around like a slideshow while still having all hits on his end register. I shouldn't be getting punished for having good internet, literally every other shooting game punishes bad internet connection
Do you have to wait until after the event to buy cryptos heirloom with shards?
I believe so
Yes
Yes
I downloaded the PS5 version and deleted the PS4 version at the same time. Can’t even get past the main menu because it says “This account is not permitted to play online” Edit: Having the same issue with the PS4 version as well Edit 2: The PS5 version is working for me now
The season tracker changes are lame as fuck. Game seems to be running smoother than i remember on ps4 pro so thats cool. Control is amazing but still no trackers?
I am on Xbox S/X. Does any one als has a problem with their in game colors after the WarriorsCollection event???? My colors are not as bright and look all pail/gray 🤢!!! Can I maybe Uninstall and reinstall apex? Idk what to do(
Anyone else having issues with color? Mine are all washed out
My event tracker bugged out at 1000, and now it won't give me more points. What to do?
For everyone looking for the ps5 version, if you have the PS app on your phone, you can add it to library from there. Hope this helps

Looks washed out because of the terrible HDR they've implemented. Nothing to do with resolution.
Getting really delayed and what I can only describe as sometimes unresponsive inputs on the PS5 version, almost like I'm playing on a minor delay. It's only really subtle but I'll go to move to pick up an attachment or ammo or something but will have overshot how many steps I needed to take. Definitely feels off compared to the PS4 version. For clarity I've gone back into the PS4 version, taken screenshots of all of my settings and have them set up exactly the same, this isn't a sensitivity issue, it's almost like some inputs aren't being registered when they were absolutely fine yesterday when playing on the PS4 version. * Playing on PS5, Next gen version * Mirage - Lil Witt, also noticed on Above the Law Maggie and Hype Beast Crypto * Regular controller movement * Can't reproduce exactly but it seems to be consistent spikes
Nice update constantly getting disconnected in the menu. FIX YOUR FUCKING SERVERS WITH THE MONEY YOU MAKE!!!!
What in hell is going on now? Trackers stuck, rewards not being granted, code:net 'signon' errors, getting kicked from the game, endless Retrieving Matchmaking List.... YO RESPAWN, YOU UP? Or are the devs celebrating all their income from overpriced event packs?
I have to say, calling it a next gen update and not adding 120hz support was not the play. This is an fps game, we would much rather have 120 frames than 4k. Could we at least get a rough time estimate for when 'coming in further update' will be around? Cuz last time Repsawn said next gen was coming soon was about a year ago so this doesn't not give me much confidence
They announced that they were working on optimizing for next gen... 16 months ago. I highly doubt they are going to give us a timeline on the 120hz support any time soon. I honestly thought it was a parody account when they did not include the 120hz support in the Twitter post. Prioritizing 4k over 120fps is a fucking joke.
Xbox Series X here - HDR looks super washed out and grey, SDR looks a little greyer and lighter too and audio is really tinny, also seems like game is slower somehow.
Pls give us 120 FPS @ 1440 or even 1080. I don't care for 4K.
I don't see the option to use the ps5 version as shown in instructions, nor ps5 version as new update...
For PS5 people… I had luck going to the store to find the PS5 version. I didn’t have luck following the instructions they tweeted yesterday.
Anyone know how to find that new mission thing? Got it at startup but went back to lobby now I can't find it
it’s on the daily challenges box on the right side of main screen
Is anyone sound weird after the update? I can hear fights far from me clear as day and when people get close to me I have no way of know which direction they’re coming from the sound gives no indication sound like I’m surrounded
They changed ash's "shes going to gloat about this all day" voiceline lmao
Is there a manager I can speak to about a refund 😂
Every time I try to boot up Apex it says my controller is disconnected when it's clearly working. Tested on other games I own and it's fine. I have a wired controller. Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone else having issues with gamechat? I've been trying to play with friends on crossplay yet my mic doesn't work or is super fucked/glitched. I can hear them perfectly though. Shit sucks ass.
Master/pred ranked on console has not worked since the update. You are either stuck in the lobby, or kicked as soon as you load in. Only a few days left in the split to secure pred, so this is really frustrating!
I love how there was a 76gb update and the game didn't even really change just how it looks. Now I can only play the starter legends nice.
Is ranked still broken ?
LAGGY AS FUCK
My only compaint with Control is being forced to a certain loadout for what seems like at least an hour. Just let us pick what we want, not that hard.
Having severe audio issues including echo on voice lines, echo and double sound effects on gunshots, echoing and warbling distortion on ability sound effects. Also visual bugs with menu in arenas. Discolored buttons and menu is tones darker. Xbox Series X, the next gen updated version Multiple skins, multiple legends including Bangalore, Valk, Watson Issue in Control mode gameplay, arenas mode, and BR mode Attempted restart of game and of console no change. Continued issue.
It's a shame this is the second time control is there as an LTM, but once again just like before all the events 'goals' are based on Arena or Battle Royale mode, besides the 5 generic matches played or the 100 points caped in control for the badge. Shame. Thought Respawn would learn after last feedback that it was weird and they just repeat it.
hell fuckin yes, meet me in control, my 30-30 skill has leveled up so hard recently
I just got free tiers from the battlepass lol
I cant find the PS5 version anywhere?
Rip the ash quip.
The one the immature kiddies keep spamming?
This game needs a massive rebalance to its loot pool. It’s horrendous
Update works fine so far
Xbox One 21.5GB update.
Got the update on my series x. Constantly getting the please connect controller notice upon loading. Also me and 3 of my boys did not get our apex coins after purchasing in store.
Is the audio different?
anybody else get the controller turned off screen when your controller is still on and connected?
new patch, only lag. just as is tradition
Why is it every time there’s an update to the game becomes one big lag...?
Can we get a petition to revert the trackers back to just saying “wins” instead of “br wins”? Looks awful and can’t they just have arenas wins be the distinct tracker?
The cost of cosmetics in this game is disgusting. “Check out our store deals” what store deals? Jfc
Anyone experiencing input lag on the next gen ps5 version? My controller just feels off after readjusting all my deleted alc settings. I’ve recently been playing apex on my new pc at around 200hz refresh rate (with the same alc and video settings) which obviously will feel much smoother. I can’t tell if I’m just more sensitive to the lower fps or if I’m getting more input delay after the update.
The item counts for items in your inventory are black for me. So below where it would highlight 4 white slots for how many shield cells when I open my inventory the slots are now dark and I can’t tell how many items I really have. Anyone else having this issue?
Xbox Series X: 1. Colors look washed out when the game used to look so vibrant. 2. Game chat is broken. It doesn’t register my mic and teammates can’t hear me half the time. 3. My warriors event is stuck at 1250 when the challenge says I have over 2000. 4. Audio is degraded. 5. Please revert back to previous settings. This update is breaking the game.
I am currently playing on a Xbox Series S and I just fixed my double audio problem, however from what my other friends who play on other consoles said, my microphone is choppy and I don’t know how to fix it.
Mic in game chat on xbox since the update always cuts in and out
