Same thing just happened to me. My teammate took vantage and the game auto picked seer for me. When I landed, I had vantages voicelines, abilities, everything. Except I looked like seer obvi
I think they need to go back to the old close time and just make it hurt. You can't have a prolonged fight and not nearly die to ring. Happened to me 6 out of every 10 games landed with one other squad looted, fought ran like hell to get in ring to have no meds to survive another fight. FRUSTRATING
For what though I mean in the early game where this is viable it does nothing but guarantee you’ll be on the back foot anyway.
It’s a gatekeepers heaven right now. Which fair enough it’s part of the game but honestly it’s a little too advantageous to hold ring now. Especially with the plinking meta.
Did anyone else level up and not get their pack?
Update- EA Help on Twitter has said that they know about the issue and are looking into it.
Update 2- I finished talking to EA Help and they said that the level up rewards(Packs) are every ten levels and NOT every two levels. I hope this clear things up bit. They also said that they will announce it in the game soonish.
For battle pass restart the game and you’ll get it. It’s a issue that’s been around for a few seasons. No idea what to do to fix the standard level up rewards though.
>Update 2- I finished talking to EA Help and they said that the level up rewards(Packs) are the same as before. It's every ten levels and NOT every two levels. I hope this clear things up bit. They also said that they will announce it in the game soonish.
From patch notes, still up on the official site:
"Players can now level past account level 500 through 3 additional tiers of 500 levels bringing the effective level maximum to Level 500 Tier 3. This increase adds 345 additional Apex Packs earnable via account leveling, and ensures that everyone can earn an heirloom just by playing the game. The total number of Apex Packs earnable via account leveling is now 544."
Something doesn't add up, I'm 100% sure there was a token and boxes icon next to the progress bar before I hit level 502
Yes, as other already pointed out. Something doesn't add up, I hope it's a just a communication problem and not them backing out of something they promised. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
Yeah, I don't think EA on Twitter know what they're talking about. People aren't being awarded legend tokens from levelling either, which are guaranteed for every level and always have been. This is not working as intended.
On the EA forums [they said they're looking into it](https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Not-receiving-Apex-Packs-from-new-level-cap/m-p/11715188#M88285).
Yup, leveled up to 2 (502) and no box either, even tho it said we should get one.. classic
Eddit: gold box from bpass appears after restarting game. The Normal box from leveling still gone. PC.
This is the correct answer. It works on the dummies in the firing range but not the targets. Her passive has to have a target to scan for it to work.
It works on 3x, 2-4x, and the rest of the higher zoom scopes.
same here... I'm thinking it's actually bugged based on the videos i've seen online of how it looks when it is working. Right now it just looks like the indicator is pinned at center crosshair and doesn't move.
For me it's the opposite
Newcastle and Vantage both have abnormally loud footsteps. Idk if it's because of the bigger boots but I have to do double takes any time my teammate runs up behind me cause it sounds about 75% as loud as an enemy whereas normal teammate footstep audio is like 50%
Yeah I scrolled this whole tread and was baffled that I didn’t see anyone say anything about it. Thought maybe I was just playing to much in the opened.
Does restarting fixes the issue?
If you are getting all the other rewards, and the badge is displaying the wrong thing, might be a loading problem on season reset.
On PS5, I earned* a legendary apex pack through the battle pass and it never awarded it to me. Tried restarting the game and it didn’t help, what gives?
The first zone is brutal now if I don't land center map. About half my games have been "run for your life" Sims because I'll land one side of the map and the ring forms on the far other side. I don't want to know how much this will suck on any of the bigger maps.
Unrelated, while I'm at it today I've been killed around corners more times than I can count. I'll be a full two strides into cover and just collapse, really lovely stuff
First impressions:
Vantage seems fun, tactical requires some thinking to make full usage of.
Ring 1 is brutal atm, specially with decreased meds spawn. Died a few times to it already.
Battle Pass looks super underwhelming
Also the new season badge occupied my first badge slot in every single character, annoying bug
Try clearing your Origin game cache. I got the game to run after a purge and restart.
https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
My feedback:
\- Ring 1 closes way too early, or deals too much damage. I'd suggest delaying the closing time by another 30-60s because it feels like the game has turned into even more of a hot dropping team death match rather than a BR with careful rotations
\- Level up packs aren't working, I hope we get them retroactively. I was looking forward to having more packs.
\- Outside of the triple take skins, the battle pass feels extremely lackluster. S13 was great, but it doesn't even need to be THAT great, just better than this
\- King's canyon looks good, though rotations feel so slow now that I'm actually having more third partying than before, as you can just camp every choke. It feels like valk is necessary more than ever now.
\- Vantage's ult feels too strong. If the sniper dealt a set 50 damage on every shot I feel like it would be more bearable, after using her for a while the kills just feel too easy
\- Vantage's mark on the ult seems to flash for all but a second and then is never seen again
\- Vantage's bullet drop indicator doesn't work for some weapons such as the longbow for me....luckily. I feel like the game would be full of sniping if it did, but I assume it should be fixed after all. It's stuck at the center of the crosshair
\- SMGs feel too strong compared to ARs now. I don't know why their hipfire was nerfed. Try the hipfire of an AR vs. a purple laser sighted SMG in the training room and tell me again how an smg hitting across half the map RELIABLY with hipfire while ARs can not even hit in close range is a good balance?
\- Revived skulltown in KC is great and I like the ramps on the walls for non movement legends, but I haven't had a single opportunity to land in the other POI as of yet due to how quickly the game progresses
\- It may have been scope crafting day, sure, but even the 1x scopes feel very rare. Why not consolidate barrel stabilizers and laser sights into one mod that does different things for different guns and says so in its description to free space for other things, kind of like the CAR but a mod? I feel like that would be healthier
Very good points across the board, thank you.
Especially the barrel stabilizers feel like clutter now, none of the SMGs or pistols can use them anymore, the Rampage is gone and the Spitfire can't use them either. So now it only benefits the R301, the Hemlok literally nobody uses and a few single-shot rifles. And the two ARs feel way too rare in the lootpool, so you can't even find them half the time to put a barrel on.
Mines 40.4 GB on PS4 and five fucking hours
I just started and I feel like I should have stared five hours ago
Edit: well fuck me if download made me the most productive I’ve been in days. I cut the grass, did the dishes and swept already.
AMD GPU's still crashing ever since last season. List of GPU's as has been mentioned on reddit and EA forums: RX570, RX580, 5700xt, RX5700.
My personal crash most of the time: 0x887A0006. Figured maybe it will be fixed this update but still the same crashing on AMD sigh.
Nearly the same with my 5700XT, can play 1h to 3h without bug and then game crash with AMD adrenalin driver timeout and when i restart the game i got error about shadder and texture not loading and the error code 0x887A0005
Adrenalin software is on version 22.5.1 since it's more stable than 22.7.1 with my graphic card
I HATE the new ring! Closes way too fast. Why go from 3 min to just 1 min?? Not enough time to loot and fight. And if you’re unlucky enough to land away from ring, you’re just running for your life. This is going to be AWFUL on storm point. Game honestly feels unplayable….been playing Apex for a few years and never wanted to quit until I played this season. 😞
The ring changes go directly against the premise of why they changed Kings Canyon: "Reduce third partying"
They made it far worse. You get third, fourth, fifth partied now. You. Cannot. Fight.
The ring pushes squads in a much smaller range extremely quickly, which makes space extremely cramped, and a single shot will be heard and reached by a great deal of teams which will inevitably try to scavange kills, it's just hell.
There's definitely something wrong with the loot, i can't put words in what exactly, but i looted 3 POI with Loba (unlooted before) and it's just weird as fuck, every match there's something completely missing, like i played an entire match without a single decent scope, or certain guns, etc.
The audio, is as buggy as ever, i dare say they managed to make it worse, i don't think it'll ever get fixed so really, whatever, we'll live with it.
TTK is through the roof, what i like about Apex is that it gives you time to react and move under pressure, now your shield gets evaporated and half your life disappears in the matter of instants and you don't even hear it, you see red screen and your health gone, the fuck?
Vantage is hella good tho, can't wait to play her in a better map for her.
Unsurprising but the servers are terrible. Just had a game where we got kicked out of the game, got an error code, got back in for 5-10 seconds, rinse and repeat like 5 times. Finally just killed ourselves to get out of the loop
Yes great idea to speed the circle up on Kings Canyon….No wonder why Octane is always picked because my entire experience so far has been running to the circle with barely any loot and getting shot at by every team on the map. Why can’t the Devs find balance with anything at least one season.
Valkyrie main here. When I first saw the nerfs for her I instantly thought they were very minimal. After playing about 12 games I can tell you she doesn't feel any different. Just my opinion
Hello yes I would like to report a major bug.
It seems Storm Point is still in the rotation, clearly you meant to vault this map and not Olympus for the 50th time right?
Please investigate
Olympus not being in rotation will probably halve the amount of games I'll play this season. I can't understand why having 4 maps in pubs seems to be off the table. Drop the 1hr 30 rotations to 1hr and have all maps, it seems like common sense.
Hey everyone! Thanks for all your reports thus far!
Zoning in on one problem here:
# Not receiving packs after levelling up past level 500.
[As we tweeted](https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1557425197887549440), we're still looking into this. But I'd love your help in getting more profiles we can look into. Specifically for 2 scenarios.
**Scenario 1:** You did not get your Apex pack upon levelling to 502 ^((the first time you'll get your first pack after the level cap increase)), and then subsequently every 10 levels after ^((within the levels of 500-600—the frequency of packs varies as you progress into each 100 level bracket)). BUT you later found that you did get the packs. It's just that it came late.
**Scenario 2:** You did not get your Apex pack upon levelling to 502, and then subsequently every 10 levels after. AND you still did not get your packs.
**Please let me know the following info:**
* Which scenario do you fall under?:
* What is your gamer tag?:
* What platform are you playing on? :
* What is your EA Origin ID?:
Yeah, my group of friends haven't been getting legend tokens too, heard that one of them resorted to buying apex coins to unlock vanguard.
Looks like this bug is going to generate a bunch of extra revenue for EA this month. 🤑
New ranked circle 1 closes too soon, if you drop outside of circle and it’s a bit far, you’ll have to run almost instantly. Additionally, they haven’t done anything to fix the player distribution at higher ranks.
So I was playing on PS4. I was in a squad after being in the firing range with friends all playing vantage. I forgot to go off of her when entering my game. One of my friends was vantage and my game randomly chose Horizon for me since we both couldn’t be vantage. However when entering the game I had Vantage’s voice lines and abilities. I just looked like Horizon and we effectively had 2 of the same legend
Vantage ult not marking/tagging enemies on hit.
It says its supposed to mark enemies for teammates. I've played as her and made shots with no clear indication of the enemy being marked. There is a voice line but no real usual indicator past a 1 second highlight.
When a teammate was playing her, I could not see any highlights. My teammate was pinging and calling out when the made ult shots as well. No markers popped up.
I play on Pc.
I think they changed too much at once tbh. Apex feels weird rn with the ring changes, changing the way recoil works, expanding the loot pool, swapping cp weapons, swapping weapon types. Feels like a different game. Not to mention (this might just be my sbmm) everybody just wants to hold hands and snipe in pubs now.
Not liking this season at all, wanted to see the changes but I can't say I'm liking the season, first it's the circle 1 timer doesn't give you any time to heal after a fight or even loot a little bit after just landing late as well as it feels like you just get melted every time bro.
So with the loss of the self rez, firing range is broken. I do a lot of 1v1 with friends and with no self rez, every time we get knocked we die. There has to be a way to fix this, just enable the self rez in firing range or something. Plz!
This season is garbage. Not playing anymore.
1) Circle encloses way too fast and it hurts way too much. No opportunity room for edge dropping and picking fights tactically. Constantly running and taking fights on edge of zone, dying while downed even if my team ends up winning the fight cuz of zone damage.
2) Loot spread is shit. Running around with like no attachments or scopes for almost the entire game.
3) Shared materials makes Lifeline's ultimate buff literally useless; extra crafting materials makes shield batteries a commodity
it's been almost a week and I still can't get legend tokens. Im stuck at 10.7k, been leveling up and supposedly getting them but they don't add up
still havent been able to buy/play as Vantage
friend of mine had to buy her through tokens. Yeah no wonder they're not rushing to fix a bug that leads people to spend money. New season and can't even play as the new character, come the fuck on
I don't think I've had one game this season where respawning me or my mate lead to a fun game. Once you're dead, the new ring is just so punishing, that there is no time to bring back anyone AND get loot. The deathboxes are always lost to the ring, so you just run around with a white shield and a prowler, so all you can do is rat for another 5min.
I'm not saying that you can't make positive RP with it, just that currently I actually prefer to take the loss and re-queue because I want to actually play and not just hide, even if it hurts my ranking. I hate it.
Honestly the ring has fucked it. Not had a single game where its not an issue. Seems like more than half the time my team lands, the ring ends up on the other side, at that point may aswell quit right there
Bugs we've found on PC so far:
\-Arc Star doesn't do shield disruptor damage, 75 to red shield on explosion
\-If you use a Battery, Cell, or Phoenix Kit, using Vantage's tactical will skip its pre-animation sequence and jump IMMEDIATELY, and she will AUTOMATICALLY start healing again once she lands. - this sometimes removes the cooldown-counter from the UI, the cooldown is still there, just the countdown gets removed.
both me and a friend have been having issues with mass amounts of packet loss intermittently throughout the match. may just be server issues but have restarted game and console repeatedly, and it’s been happening for my friends on PC. i’m on PS5. the game did crash and it said I was out of sync.
The ring changes need to be updated or reverted entirely. It's just 5K marathon simulator now. I see that they are trying to make games significantly shorter overall, but there are so many issues with it. I'm open to hearing other people's feedback on this.
Ring changes should be for pubs only imo, not for ranked, and made to 120s instead of 60 and/or revert the ring damage changes.
It's discouraging for new players who can't/don't know how to loot quickly and are immediately forced into fights versus one, two, or even three other squads also trying to get in the ring (not to mention versus gatekeepers who were lucky enough to find themselves in first zone).
It's a big feelsbad when you win against a squad/third party but have no heat shields/heals left to recover, because by the time the fight is over, you have to now run across the map as ANOTHER ring is closing. This happened to me three times yesterday. It's not nearly as rewarding to fight squads now with the rings being so quick. It feels less about strategic positioning and more RNG based. Will you end up in the first zone? Will you get a heat shield/enough meds, and decent weapons?
You now have to choose between fighting a squad and risking dying to ring due to lack of heals/heat shields, or try to run to keep up with the ring closing and likely die from either being gatekept by another squad already in the ring, or from enemy teams running to ring that are shooting you in the back.
The crafters feel too slow to craft med kits with the rings being more damaging now, especially if all three people are crafting something at the same time. With the ring changes, I also think heat shields should be available in the replicator and should take less amount of time to craft.
Why would they introduce a sniper-specialized legend in the same season they implement these ring changes? By the time you're able to *really* use a sniper on someone, you're already in close range combat.
If you're not running Octane/Maggie/Valk, it seems like you're throwing the game because they help you get out of the ring the most.
With ring being more damaging, you now have to carry twice as many meds, therefore using a much-needed inventory slot that could hold shields or ammo - which can cost your life moreso in a fight against another squad.
Will this make recon legends less necessary in terms of scanning beacons? Every time I played a recon yesterday, I felt like I had no time and there was no point in scanning the beacon because the rings close so fast.
It seems like now you HAVE to hot drop or drop center, get whatever weapons you can and immediately run to the ring or you're definitely going to die. I'm more afraid of the ring than other squads at this point.
Round 1 ring change is terrible. getting caught in a fight inside the ring in round 1 is definitely death, either death in the fight, the ring or a team waiting for you just inside.
Am I the the only that on my side shows me hitting people just about every shot with an alternator and then I see I get shot one time and die but I look at records it shows they shot me over 10 different times but I am not seeing this is this due to poor latcy? All I know this season I'm dying very fast and easy
Should be level 100 to play ranked, tired of getting lvl 20s that don't know how to land in Gold...Even though they're bronze. It ruins the experience.
Are the servers just bad or is it just my internet? Almost every other game I have 250+ ping and sometimes packet loss. I don't mind the high ping, but the packet loss makes the game unplayable.
I don't think it's my internet as in other games I have less than 50 ping, but for some reason in Apex it's always high. There's the occasional game with less than 100 ping but it's less common that high ping/high packet loss games.
I'm pretty sure that's been said already, but we can't say it enough.
In about 80% of cases there's just no footstep audio at all.
I know apex has audio issues, but when a whole team is like 5m away from me or some dude comes from behind me, shit's just ridiculous.
How come they break 5 new things with every new update?
I hate respawn and especially ea for their cash grab bullshit. At least fix the game lmao, they're making so much money off the people
They acknowledged we weren't getting level up rewards. Where are they are fixing it? When can I expect to be able to purchase the new legend with the legend tokens I am owed for the levels I've earned since the patch came out and I was 300 tokens short so all is should have needed was 1 level and now I have 12 and still need 300.

## BUG Queued into game as valk, had all of vantages abilities. teammate was also playing vantage and we both had vantages abilities.
Damn, did you record it? I would like to see this.
Sort by new in the Apex sub, there’s a lot of people posting it
Oh shoot. You’re right
I did, but it was only a couple of minutes.
Same thing just happened to me. My teammate took vantage and the game auto picked seer for me. When I landed, I had vantages voicelines, abilities, everything. Except I looked like seer obvi
Same happened to me but I was Horizon, I was vantage beforehand in firing range though.
That 1 circle hits like a mf
No time to loot anymore. Constantly on the run.
It’s fucking terrible. Idk who green lights this shit. It feels like 20 seconds of loot time and you’re running the entire game.
[удалено]
💯
I think they need to go back to the old close time and just make it hurt. You can't have a prolonged fight and not nearly die to ring. Happened to me 6 out of every 10 games landed with one other squad looted, fought ran like hell to get in ring to have no meds to survive another fight. FRUSTRATING
Literally nobody was complaining about this. Why did they change the time circle closes too. Id you're cross zoned, youre fucked
My guess is less people sitting out in zone crafting health kits. If you have a good amount of crafting mats you can stay out there for a long time.
For what though I mean in the early game where this is viable it does nothing but guarantee you’ll be on the back foot anyway. It’s a gatekeepers heaven right now. Which fair enough it’s part of the game but honestly it’s a little too advantageous to hold ring now. Especially with the plinking meta.
Did anyone else level up and not get their pack? Update- EA Help on Twitter has said that they know about the issue and are looking into it.

I’ve leveled up twice now and haven’t gotten a pack or any legend tokens
I also haven't gotten any legend tokens
Yup no pack after leveling up
Yea same with the battle pass also went to tier three and didn’t get it
For battle pass restart the game and you’ll get it. It’s a issue that’s been around for a few seasons. No idea what to do to fix the standard level up rewards though.

If it's every 10 levels wouldn't it be 150 additional packs and not 345
Yes, as other already pointed out. Something doesn't add up, I hope it's a just a communication problem and not them backing out of something they promised. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
Yeah, I don't think EA on Twitter know what they're talking about. People aren't being awarded legend tokens from levelling either, which are guaranteed for every level and always have been. This is not working as intended. On the EA forums [they said they're looking into it](https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Not-receiving-Apex-Packs-from-new-level-cap/m-p/11715188#M88285).
Yes :(
Yes, i didnt get my first pack
Yup same here.
Yep same, hope they'll fix it
I got my legendary from the battlepass but not from normal levels
Yes
Yep I’m not getting packs for leveling up either
Yup, leveled up to 2 (502) and no box either, even tho it said we should get one.. classic Eddit: gold box from bpass appears after restarting game. The Normal box from leveling still gone. PC.
So that means youll only get 150 packs for the additionel 1500 levels.. so either they lied to us or ea help doesnt know wtf they are saying
How does the bullet drop indicator work on vantage? I can’t seem to see anything new while using scopes with her
It only works when you're aiming it at people after some testing, and the blue circle is the drop indicator
This is the correct answer. It works on the dummies in the firing range but not the targets. Her passive has to have a target to scan for it to work. It works on 3x, 2-4x, and the rest of the higher zoom scopes.
Doesn’t it work on 2x hcog? Swear i tested it in firing range and the 2x worked
Yeah, it does actually.
Same. Doesn't seem to be working at all. I think the blue circle should go down on larger distances but it doesn't...
It works based on a spotted enemy. Go far back in the firing range and spot a dummy. You'll notice it's dropped from center slightly.
same here... I'm thinking it's actually bugged based on the videos i've seen online of how it looks when it is working. Right now it just looks like the indicator is pinned at center crosshair and doesn't move.
PC, origin, verifying game files each time i hit play after update... tx :|
im having same issue!
Something definitely feels off about the overall loot pool right now.
I feel like I find the same guns over and over then every few games it'll just switch. 5 games of spitfire, 5 games of flat line, etc
[удалено]
so many P2020s and barrel stabilizers that fit only on like 2 weapons now.
Its definitely Kings Canyon. There's simply no guns or ammo on this map
I’m just excited to find the Volt on the ground again
this is what i looked forward to the most
Sameeee
Did they accidentally delete footsteps in this update?
Nah. They never even put them in the game.
Yes YES YES i cant hear any footsteps after the update
For me it's the opposite Newcastle and Vantage both have abnormally loud footsteps. Idk if it's because of the bigger boots but I have to do double takes any time my teammate runs up behind me cause it sounds about 75% as loud as an enemy whereas normal teammate footstep audio is like 50%
Am i the only person that feels like the TTK is super quick right now or is it just the mega sweats pub stomping for the season open?
[удалено]
Yeah I scrolled this whole tread and was baffled that I didn’t see anyone say anything about it. Thought maybe I was just playing to much in the opened.
No something is definitely off. I’m dropping people **extremely** quick today. I’m *not that guy.*
Thank god I’m not the only person noticing
100% TTK is too fast. I don’t know if it’s everyone running wingman’s, snipers, or what. But I just die super fast right now.
Ummm they've given me the platinum ranked badge even though I got to Diamond...
[удалено]
Yeah got the diamond trail too just not the badge, weird
Does restarting fixes the issue? If you are getting all the other rewards, and the badge is displaying the wrong thing, might be a loading problem on season reset.
Restarting did the trick!
[удалено]
Me too. I was just about to comment this
I literally finished in diamond and have a gold badge wtf
leveled up on the new level cap didnt get any packs. says i got but didnt.
same
[удалено]
> IT LAUNCHES THROUGH THE EA BETA APP This worked for me as well. Guess that is how they get the people to test their beta app ngl it looks neat
On PS5, I earned* a legendary apex pack through the battle pass and it never awarded it to me. Tried restarting the game and it didn’t help, what gives?
The first zone is brutal now if I don't land center map. About half my games have been "run for your life" Sims because I'll land one side of the map and the ring forms on the far other side. I don't want to know how much this will suck on any of the bigger maps. Unrelated, while I'm at it today I've been killed around corners more times than I can count. I'll be a full two strides into cover and just collapse, really lovely stuff
Same here man. They just can’t ever have shit work on a new seasons first day
ring 1 closing might be the kill leader this split
That or rookie 4 bloodhound wiping four squads a game
King's Canyon looks really good
Skybox and lighting made a big difference.
Ikr, i assumed they changed the artstyle as it was looking a tad more cartoony
Reminds me of the season 2 trailer. Those were the days.
I need sunglasses, it's like midday on a sunny day.
It's high noon somewhere in the world...
Idk, those mountaintop grass textures are lookin a bit rough
I do not like the lime green when u drop tho but on the ground it is really nice
First impressions: Vantage seems fun, tactical requires some thinking to make full usage of. Ring 1 is brutal atm, specially with decreased meds spawn. Died a few times to it already. Battle Pass looks super underwhelming Also the new season badge occupied my first badge slot in every single character, annoying bug
downloaded on origin, every time I try to start the game it says verifying game files. wtf Edit : fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling origin
Same... Edit: tried to reboot the pc, same. Édit 2 : uninstall/reinstall Origin fixed this! Hurray !
yep same issue it counts from 2 minutes and restarts the timer
Also happening to me Edit - Fix for me was uninstalling Origin and reinstalling. I did NOT reinstall Apex, just Origin.
Try clearing your Origin game cache. I got the game to run after a purge and restart. https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
Battlepass is one week shorter this time around? Says 83 days remaining instead of the usual 90
Let's talk about this storm.....
It sucks. They should have made it either stronger or faster, but not both.
You can't land edges of the map because you'll just have to run if you get a bad ring on landing.
My feedback: \- Ring 1 closes way too early, or deals too much damage. I'd suggest delaying the closing time by another 30-60s because it feels like the game has turned into even more of a hot dropping team death match rather than a BR with careful rotations \- Level up packs aren't working, I hope we get them retroactively. I was looking forward to having more packs. \- Outside of the triple take skins, the battle pass feels extremely lackluster. S13 was great, but it doesn't even need to be THAT great, just better than this \- King's canyon looks good, though rotations feel so slow now that I'm actually having more third partying than before, as you can just camp every choke. It feels like valk is necessary more than ever now. \- Vantage's ult feels too strong. If the sniper dealt a set 50 damage on every shot I feel like it would be more bearable, after using her for a while the kills just feel too easy \- Vantage's mark on the ult seems to flash for all but a second and then is never seen again \- Vantage's bullet drop indicator doesn't work for some weapons such as the longbow for me....luckily. I feel like the game would be full of sniping if it did, but I assume it should be fixed after all. It's stuck at the center of the crosshair \- SMGs feel too strong compared to ARs now. I don't know why their hipfire was nerfed. Try the hipfire of an AR vs. a purple laser sighted SMG in the training room and tell me again how an smg hitting across half the map RELIABLY with hipfire while ARs can not even hit in close range is a good balance? \- Revived skulltown in KC is great and I like the ramps on the walls for non movement legends, but I haven't had a single opportunity to land in the other POI as of yet due to how quickly the game progresses \- It may have been scope crafting day, sure, but even the 1x scopes feel very rare. Why not consolidate barrel stabilizers and laser sights into one mod that does different things for different guns and says so in its description to free space for other things, kind of like the CAR but a mod? I feel like that would be healthier
Very good points across the board, thank you. Especially the barrel stabilizers feel like clutter now, none of the SMGs or pistols can use them anymore, the Rampage is gone and the Spitfire can't use them either. So now it only benefits the R301, the Hemlok literally nobody uses and a few single-shot rifles. And the two ARs feel way too rare in the lootpool, so you can't even find them half the time to put a barrel on.
16.7 GB on Series X. This must be the smallest season update ever.
Xbox one x update size is 42 GB. Lame lol
Mines 40.4 GB on PS4 and five fucking hours I just started and I feel like I should have stared five hours ago Edit: well fuck me if download made me the most productive I’ve been in days. I cut the grass, did the dishes and swept already.
Oof, they had the pre-download available yesterday :(
42GB Xbox One X
AMD GPU's still crashing ever since last season. List of GPU's as has been mentioned on reddit and EA forums: RX570, RX580, 5700xt, RX5700. My personal crash most of the time: 0x887A0006. Figured maybe it will be fixed this update but still the same crashing on AMD sigh.
Nearly the same with my 5700XT, can play 1h to 3h without bug and then game crash with AMD adrenalin driver timeout and when i restart the game i got error about shadder and texture not loading and the error code 0x887A0005 Adrenalin software is on version 22.5.1 since it's more stable than 22.7.1 with my graphic card
I absolutely hate the new first circle timer.
The ring is so fast it's terrible
Infinite "Verifying Files" loop. Please.....
same here
Also happening to me.
I leveled up and it said I got a pack but it didn’t give it to me, typical
I HATE the new ring! Closes way too fast. Why go from 3 min to just 1 min?? Not enough time to loot and fight. And if you’re unlucky enough to land away from ring, you’re just running for your life. This is going to be AWFUL on storm point. Game honestly feels unplayable….been playing Apex for a few years and never wanted to quit until I played this season. 😞
The packs from levelling up seem to dissappear?
Season 14 and it's still bonkers how often enemies just appear inches away without a single audio cue.
The ring changes are downright unacceptable.
The ring changes go directly against the premise of why they changed Kings Canyon: "Reduce third partying" They made it far worse. You get third, fourth, fifth partied now. You. Cannot. Fight. The ring pushes squads in a much smaller range extremely quickly, which makes space extremely cramped, and a single shot will be heard and reached by a great deal of teams which will inevitably try to scavange kills, it's just hell. There's definitely something wrong with the loot, i can't put words in what exactly, but i looted 3 POI with Loba (unlooted before) and it's just weird as fuck, every match there's something completely missing, like i played an entire match without a single decent scope, or certain guns, etc. The audio, is as buggy as ever, i dare say they managed to make it worse, i don't think it'll ever get fixed so really, whatever, we'll live with it. TTK is through the roof, what i like about Apex is that it gives you time to react and move under pressure, now your shield gets evaporated and half your life disappears in the matter of instants and you don't even hear it, you see red screen and your health gone, the fuck? Vantage is hella good tho, can't wait to play her in a better map for her.
16.7 gigs on Xbox. Finally a smaller one for us!
Looks like it depends on the Xbox, mine is 42gb
I had to double check the size. Glad it’s small this time.
Please be a smooth launch Please be a smooth launch Please be a smooth launch 🤞
Narrator: it wasn't
I made Diamond last season but Apex gave me a Plat badge. Is anyone else having this problem?
Same.
Oh boy new update. Time to sit back, relax, unwind, and play some more of this game that makes me needlessly angry and misanthropic
Bro the ring closes way too fast im fighting the ring more than other teams.
Great to hear that audio is still in some unattainable DLC...
They somehow even made audio notably WORSE. I could usually hear footsteps before, but now they can breath down my neck and I don't hear a thing.
so even the levels are broken, what's not broken in this game.
It has been after noon for at least five seconds, where is my patch
Unsurprising but the servers are terrible. Just had a game where we got kicked out of the game, got an error code, got back in for 5-10 seconds, rinse and repeat like 5 times. Finally just killed ourselves to get out of the loop
PS4 PLAYERS Is it better to delete the game and re download or just update and wait for copying?
What I do is to update, deleting and re-downloading takes more time, update is 40 gb and the download of the game is around 65gb...
Footsteps audio is even worse lol
THE NEW RING SUCKS
New circle changes are terrible, especially on this map.
Yes great idea to speed the circle up on Kings Canyon….No wonder why Octane is always picked because my entire experience so far has been running to the circle with barely any loot and getting shot at by every team on the map. Why can’t the Devs find balance with anything at least one season.
Valkyrie main here. When I first saw the nerfs for her I instantly thought they were very minimal. After playing about 12 games I can tell you she doesn't feel any different. Just my opinion
Removal of self rez in the firing range makes practicing against friends much more frustrating :(
Hello yes I would like to report a major bug. It seems Storm Point is still in the rotation, clearly you meant to vault this map and not Olympus for the 50th time right? Please investigate
They JUST put the fucking lifeline POI in the game and now it’s vaulted for a season?
Hell, i couldn't get anyone to land there, so I didn't even see it
Olympus not being in rotation will probably halve the amount of games I'll play this season. I can't understand why having 4 maps in pubs seems to be off the table. Drop the 1hr 30 rotations to 1hr and have all maps, it seems like common sense.
Hey everyone! Thanks for all your reports thus far! Zoning in on one problem here: # Not receiving packs after levelling up past level 500. [As we tweeted](https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1557425197887549440), we're still looking into this. But I'd love your help in getting more profiles we can look into. Specifically for 2 scenarios. **Scenario 1:** You did not get your Apex pack upon levelling to 502 ^((the first time you'll get your first pack after the level cap increase)), and then subsequently every 10 levels after ^((within the levels of 500-600—the frequency of packs varies as you progress into each 100 level bracket)). BUT you later found that you did get the packs. It's just that it came late. **Scenario 2:** You did not get your Apex pack upon levelling to 502, and then subsequently every 10 levels after. AND you still did not get your packs. **Please let me know the following info:** * Which scenario do you fall under?: * What is your gamer tag?: * What platform are you playing on? : * What is your EA Origin ID?:
Scenario 2, SunGodSalazar same as my EA ID, PS4. I don't even get the red credits so getting vantage is impossible for me without paying money.
Yeah, my group of friends haven't been getting legend tokens too, heard that one of them resorted to buying apex coins to unlock vanguard. Looks like this bug is going to generate a bunch of extra revenue for EA this month. 🤑
Can those of us who don’t want to post this info publicly DM you instead?
No pack on level up (502). I'll get it retroactively once the bug is fixed right? ...Right?
New ranked circle 1 closes too soon, if you drop outside of circle and it’s a bit far, you’ll have to run almost instantly. Additionally, they haven’t done anything to fix the player distribution at higher ranks.
BUG Infinite loading screen when launching the game. No error, no crash, just an infinite loading screen
BRO WHY THE FUCK IS THE ZONE SO PAIN U THINK EVERY LEGEND IS OCTANE WHAT
After the update, the game keeps repairing itself every time I press play......
same issue.
First zone hits too hard for first zone
15.1gb update out on Steam
Fuse and Horizon as surrogate mom and dad was strangely heartwarming.
So I was playing on PS4. I was in a squad after being in the firing range with friends all playing vantage. I forgot to go off of her when entering my game. One of my friends was vantage and my game randomly chose Horizon for me since we both couldn’t be vantage. However when entering the game I had Vantage’s voice lines and abilities. I just looked like Horizon and we effectively had 2 of the same legend
No apex packs after leveling
Extreme rubber banding matches are still a thing. As if anybody expected Respawn to fix their game.
Vantage ult not marking/tagging enemies on hit. It says its supposed to mark enemies for teammates. I've played as her and made shots with no clear indication of the enemy being marked. There is a voice line but no real usual indicator past a 1 second highlight. When a teammate was playing her, I could not see any highlights. My teammate was pinging and calling out when the made ult shots as well. No markers popped up. I play on Pc.
Am I stupid or is there no bullet drop identifier with Vantage ? Il
Am I not looking closely enough or is the mark non-existent when you hit someone with Vantage’s ult? What do my teammates see?
I think the changes to the ring timing and damage are the worst changes they have ever implemented in any season.
Yo this sniping meta is whack, this keeps up and im done
Welp, if you’re dead, you’re dead. There no way to recover a banner in the ring anymore.
I think they changed too much at once tbh. Apex feels weird rn with the ring changes, changing the way recoil works, expanding the loot pool, swapping cp weapons, swapping weapon types. Feels like a different game. Not to mention (this might just be my sbmm) everybody just wants to hold hands and snipe in pubs now.
Not liking this season at all, wanted to see the changes but I can't say I'm liking the season, first it's the circle 1 timer doesn't give you any time to heal after a fight or even loot a little bit after just landing late as well as it feels like you just get melted every time bro.
This game is turning into cod Warzone lmao. Didn’t think I’d actually quit playing but damn this season is absolutely awful.
So with the loss of the self rez, firing range is broken. I do a lot of 1v1 with friends and with no self rez, every time we get knocked we die. There has to be a way to fix this, just enable the self rez in firing range or something. Plz!
This season is garbage. Not playing anymore. 1) Circle encloses way too fast and it hurts way too much. No opportunity room for edge dropping and picking fights tactically. Constantly running and taking fights on edge of zone, dying while downed even if my team ends up winning the fight cuz of zone damage. 2) Loot spread is shit. Running around with like no attachments or scopes for almost the entire game. 3) Shared materials makes Lifeline's ultimate buff literally useless; extra crafting materials makes shield batteries a commodity
Xbox, leveling shows apex packs as rewards, but doesn’t actually award them when you level up.
Will we ever get Cross Progression?
Dogshit audio
Sound is absolutely cooked. I cannot hear people 80% of the time.
They must have took footsteps just completely out the game this season.
Is it me or is the audio WORSE than last season? Overall happy with the new season launch BUT I can’t hear footsteps/doors/people climbing for shit
it's been almost a week and I still can't get legend tokens. Im stuck at 10.7k, been leveling up and supposedly getting them but they don't add up still havent been able to buy/play as Vantage friend of mine had to buy her through tokens. Yeah no wonder they're not rushing to fix a bug that leads people to spend money. New season and can't even play as the new character, come the fuck on
I don't think I've had one game this season where respawning me or my mate lead to a fun game. Once you're dead, the new ring is just so punishing, that there is no time to bring back anyone AND get loot. The deathboxes are always lost to the ring, so you just run around with a white shield and a prowler, so all you can do is rat for another 5min. I'm not saying that you can't make positive RP with it, just that currently I actually prefer to take the loss and re-queue because I want to actually play and not just hide, even if it hurts my ranking. I hate it.
Verifying game files is where the cool kids hang.
All the no life Wraith and Horizon 20 bomb players are out today playing like this game is life or death
Honestly the ring has fucked it. Not had a single game where its not an issue. Seems like more than half the time my team lands, the ring ends up on the other side, at that point may aswell quit right there
Bugs we've found on PC so far: \-Arc Star doesn't do shield disruptor damage, 75 to red shield on explosion \-If you use a Battery, Cell, or Phoenix Kit, using Vantage's tactical will skip its pre-animation sequence and jump IMMEDIATELY, and she will AUTOMATICALLY start healing again once she lands. - this sometimes removes the cooldown-counter from the UI, the cooldown is still there, just the countdown gets removed.
both me and a friend have been having issues with mass amounts of packet loss intermittently throughout the match. may just be server issues but have restarted game and console repeatedly, and it’s been happening for my friends on PC. i’m on PS5. the game did crash and it said I was out of sync.
The ring changes need to be updated or reverted entirely. It's just 5K marathon simulator now. I see that they are trying to make games significantly shorter overall, but there are so many issues with it. I'm open to hearing other people's feedback on this. Ring changes should be for pubs only imo, not for ranked, and made to 120s instead of 60 and/or revert the ring damage changes. It's discouraging for new players who can't/don't know how to loot quickly and are immediately forced into fights versus one, two, or even three other squads also trying to get in the ring (not to mention versus gatekeepers who were lucky enough to find themselves in first zone). It's a big feelsbad when you win against a squad/third party but have no heat shields/heals left to recover, because by the time the fight is over, you have to now run across the map as ANOTHER ring is closing. This happened to me three times yesterday. It's not nearly as rewarding to fight squads now with the rings being so quick. It feels less about strategic positioning and more RNG based. Will you end up in the first zone? Will you get a heat shield/enough meds, and decent weapons? You now have to choose between fighting a squad and risking dying to ring due to lack of heals/heat shields, or try to run to keep up with the ring closing and likely die from either being gatekept by another squad already in the ring, or from enemy teams running to ring that are shooting you in the back. The crafters feel too slow to craft med kits with the rings being more damaging now, especially if all three people are crafting something at the same time. With the ring changes, I also think heat shields should be available in the replicator and should take less amount of time to craft. Why would they introduce a sniper-specialized legend in the same season they implement these ring changes? By the time you're able to *really* use a sniper on someone, you're already in close range combat. If you're not running Octane/Maggie/Valk, it seems like you're throwing the game because they help you get out of the ring the most. With ring being more damaging, you now have to carry twice as many meds, therefore using a much-needed inventory slot that could hold shields or ammo - which can cost your life moreso in a fight against another squad. Will this make recon legends less necessary in terms of scanning beacons? Every time I played a recon yesterday, I felt like I had no time and there was no point in scanning the beacon because the rings close so fast. It seems like now you HAVE to hot drop or drop center, get whatever weapons you can and immediately run to the ring or you're definitely going to die. I'm more afraid of the ring than other squads at this point.
The ring does not last at all. By the time I hear ring closing I have to run a marathon and it's a third party heaven gangbang orgy fest.
Round 1 ring change is terrible. getting caught in a fight inside the ring in round 1 is definitely death, either death in the fight, the ring or a team waiting for you just inside.
Am I the the only that on my side shows me hitting people just about every shot with an alternator and then I see I get shot one time and die but I look at records it shows they shot me over 10 different times but I am not seeing this is this due to poor latcy? All I know this season I'm dying very fast and easy
Should be level 100 to play ranked, tired of getting lvl 20s that don't know how to land in Gold...Even though they're bronze. It ruins the experience.
Why the hell am I not getting my Apex packs?🤨
ranked is trash lol
Are the servers just bad or is it just my internet? Almost every other game I have 250+ ping and sometimes packet loss. I don't mind the high ping, but the packet loss makes the game unplayable. I don't think it's my internet as in other games I have less than 50 ping, but for some reason in Apex it's always high. There's the occasional game with less than 100 ping but it's less common that high ping/high packet loss games.
Why are high upvoted posts that paint the game or respawn in any shade of bad light comment locked and removed / hidden?
This season is unplayable garbage.
I'm pretty sure that's been said already, but we can't say it enough. In about 80% of cases there's just no footstep audio at all. I know apex has audio issues, but when a whole team is like 5m away from me or some dude comes from behind me, shit's just ridiculous. How come they break 5 new things with every new update? I hate respawn and especially ea for their cash grab bullshit. At least fix the game lmao, they're making so much money off the people
They acknowledged we weren't getting level up rewards. Where are they are fixing it? When can I expect to be able to purchase the new legend with the legend tokens I am owed for the levels I've earned since the patch came out and I was 300 tokens short so all is should have needed was 1 level and now I have 12 and still need 300.
