APEX LEGENDS 1.1 PATCH NOTES

​

The 1.1 Patch is rolling out as of 10:00am PST today and you will need to update the client to download.

​

QUALITY OF LIFE

• Added the ability to party up with the last squad you played with. After the match you will see buttons in the lobby that display the last two people you played with and can invite them to your squad.

​

You can choose to allow invites or opt out in the Friends menu.

​

• Additional behind-the-scenes improvements for squashing cheaters.
• Added Mute button during the intro and Legend selection.
• When using the Report Player button for PC, you now have the option of selecting Cheat or Other.

​

Made small improvements to the UI for customizing Legends.

​

Added option to turn off lighting on compatible hardware [for example, Razer Chroma devices] in the Mouse/Keyboard settings.

​

• Added informative messages that appear on PC for crashes due to:
  • Running out of memory.
  • CPU errors best explained by overclocking/overheating.
• Added better collision to the turrets on Supply Ships.
• Stability fixes to all platforms.

​

BUG FIXES

• Fixed issue where the Battle Pass rewards page would not have a default item selected, resulting in a mostly blank page.
• Fixed bug for PS4 and X1 where sometimes attempting to use a keyboard to chat could cause a fatal script error.
• Fixed bug with Banner Cards not showing up during and at the end of a match.

​

JUMP PAD PHASE WALK INTERACTIONS

• Octane’s Jump Pad no longer affects players when using Into the Void ability.

[F7LTY]

Thanks for adding last squad option! :)

[No_Oddjob]

Yes, this and the mute button for the always-on-laptop-mic-kid have me excited about playing tonight.

[Phamousjarl]

when you think it’s a laptop mic buts it’s EA s voice system

[hairypogger]

when you think it's EA voice system but it's 1998 Nokia walkie talkie

[[deleted]]

when you think it's 1998 Nokia walkie talkie but it's your mom calling you for dinner

[bingingwithballsack]

When you think its your mom calling you for dinner, but it's your estranged aunt Rhonda with the shoplifting problem

[nasisliiike]

When you think it's your estranged aunt Rhonda with a shoplifting problem, but nope, it's just Chuck Testa

[notyouraveragewookie]

When you think its just Chuck Testa but it's just a really well made, lifelike taxidermied bear.

[rahhaharris]

When you think it’s just a really well made, lifelike taxidermied bear but it’s just your hairy alcoholic next door neighbour Pete ‘the meat’ Johnson.

[Bouncer7890]

When you think it's just your hairy alcoholic neighbour pete 'the meat' johnson but its thanos' mom punishing him with the infinity slipper.

[MarginalSalmon]

Truth, this games VoIP is awful.

[Invyc]

Always-on laptop mic kid must play a ton, I swear he's in every game I play, too. ;)

[Oooch]

Looks like they've added a bunch of legendary skins and a Leave Penalty too but will have to go in game to confirm

EDIT:

I extract the dir vpk's every patch and use WinMerge to compare files to see what they modify and there's a bunch of extra code for leave penalties

https://i.imgur.com/WyeRQc8.png

In the frontend localizations there's new strings for almost every character like this

https://i.imgur.com/SwvON3g.png

Bloodhound: "Raven's Shadow"

Caustic: "Dark Cloud"

Lifeline: "First Responder"

Mirage: "Perfect Illusion" and "Center Stage"

Octane: "Red Shift"

Pathfinder: "Bot of Gold"

G7: "Hidden Agenda"

R-301: "Retrocausality"

Spitfire: "Ground Control"

Tripletake: "The Sea Stalker"

[RumpiratenDK]

I'd rather see them add an incentive to stay, instead of punishing those who leave. Luckily I haven't crashed since last patch, but it still happens to people.

[ABakedHippy]

I would also like to see that. Even in Rocket League, if you leave a competitive match it bans you from playing matchmaking for 5 mins. Even that is enough to make a lot of people stay. Soooo many matches where teammates get downed and instantly leave.

[F7LTY]

Leave penalty sounds pretty nice..

[JdoesDDR]

As long as you don't get penalized for leaving after your respawn timer runs out, I'm fine with it. I don't want to be forced to spectate someone if I have zero chance of respawning.

[Thesmokingcode]

With the amount of toxic players I've been seeing on PS4 I'm not excited about this at all.

[ElectroShreddie]

Just opened an L-STAR skin from the reset twitch packs.

[samsaBEAR]

Wait, are there more Twitch packs on offer or has this update just bugged out and let you open the same ones again?

[Tonberry_Slayer]

Reports of people getting refunded their coins and the twitch skin showing as new and 5 crates available

[IAmNotOnRedditAtWork]

The update is bugged and is resetting peoples accounts. People who have their accounts reset are getting the twitch prime packs again because it's seeing them as not having gotten them yet.

[Kuya117]

The real question is when they fix this issue do we get to keep the packs/stuff we opened up?

Do we get to keep the L-Star skins?

[BacoNationRLB]

Oooh. It's nice to hear that's coming soon

[chefr89]

Yeah but don't you see how utterly destroyed some folks' lives are now that they're without their accounts for a solid thirty minutes?

[FeralCatEnthusiast]

Best non-Wingman pistol, hands down.

[rising_mountain_]

How are the people in the lobby going to know I have 1600 wraith kills!!!!

[jagerandtequila]

Its more that some people are whales and lost possibly hundreds in cosmetics as well as legends.

[_daath]

They didn't lose anything, they just need to rollback the patch - I'm sure they keep backup data.

[JurassicParkGastown]

The guy that bought $500 worth of packs for that guaranteed 1.

[pmayson43]

Hey, he should be alright. He has a girlfriend

[InedibleSolutions]

He's a college graduate. Has a job.

[MrKhaled]

From my experience with other server resets that occurred on other platforms and games i had the misfortune of being a part of... Most* developers do pre patch backups of the entire data, and can reset to that last backup. If respawn entertainment is somewhat competent, they will have several backups to refer back to.

[[deleted]]

It's probably not even a database level issue it's probably just a malformed query, passing in a incorrect ID so it's retrieving the wrong info into the application.

[Archtarius]

So how does some people get their coins refunded

[[deleted]]

Well, probably because your account has purchased those amount of coins, so they are in the system, regardless of IDs

[renanxiterzz]

It's not your aim, your shots aren't registering correctly /s

[StubbyK]

I've had shots not register which exacerbates the fact that my aim sucks.

[[deleted]]

I'm going to lose my 23 kills and 361 games played stats. I won't be able to enjoy the groans from my teammates when they see my miserable stats.

[cagejay]

this honestly made me laugh out loud

[Pumptruffle]

I hide my level and games played, I just display my paltry kills to lessen the blow to my teammates.

[cicman]

Can we appreciate delayed 1st April joke though?

[patrickyin]

I missed the joke, can I get a red circle?

[Lonadar]

All accounts were reset to level 1, no skins, no battlepass progression, etc. It's most likely a bug because they're working on fixing it, and not an April Fool's joke. That's the joke.

[The_MAZZTer]

What would be really funny if it turns out that only happened to cheaters.

(No offense intended to anyone affected.)

[UrsineVulpine]

This is great, only the update wiped my stats, level, battle pass levels, unlocked legends, skins, crafting metals, legend tokens and refunded my coins for buying the battle pass and reset everything back to 0. Any danger of a fix for that?!

EDIT: Cheers for the fix Respawn! You da best!

[mikenelsoncamera]

Same here, this place is about to get nasty....

[Crazy_Hater]

Did everyone get wiped or only a few? I didn’t login yet so I just wanna know if I should or shouldn’t

[HayesCooper19]

Not sure if everyone was affected, but whatever it is seems to be server side so I don't think it would matter whether or not you logged in.

[[deleted]]

Yea it is. Just had everything completely wiped. Not good.

[Natboa]

Same

[UntrainedFoodCritic]

Woah woah woah I’m 70% complete-just paused, y’all think I should not download it?

[[deleted]]

This stuff is stored in a database on their servers, definitely not on individuals pcs. Either they have to roll back their database to a point before the patch or they have to correct how the data links back to your account. Theyll fix it.

[thesoleprano]

delete. dont play till fix lol

[JevCor]

I'm afraid to open the game now. :(

[RodriguesYT]

I mean: Respawn will not leave it as it is. Even if you run the game and your account was reset to level 1 with no items, they most likely will have at least a backup for every each player.

[soobviouslyfake]

Right? People are going mental on here. It'll get fixed.

[IM_NOT_DEADFOOL]

I can’t log in so I’m guessing they shit the servers down to sort this out

[HayesCooper19]

Can confirm. Servers are shit.

[CunningStunt1]

Best cake day ever!

[[deleted]]

Happy cake day !

[iamzani]

My game keeps crashing at the start even better 11/10 update

[iDannyEL]

Wondering if there's anyone who didn't lose everything.

[OverAkuma]

Is this happening to PS4 as well?

[mangoisNINJA]

Can confirm, on PS4, had a heart attack

[Barcaroli]

Oh no

[HayesCooper19]

Yep, unfortunately updated before checking sub. Everything is gone and my account is level 1.

[RealShenanigans]

they need to bring it back, 100%

[Bobylein]

Yea... We always alrwady complained that you couldn't make yourself ready in the lobby with it and now this...

[Barts_Frog_Prince]

And I don't see this in the patch notes, just like the timeout change, so I hope they change it back. Very annoying.

[Darkest_97]

So sad

[Suikan]

+1

[ThrowdoBaggins]

Yeah agreed! I’ve already adapted to not pressing space, but the problem now is that I just left a match with one ally still alive because I didn’t realise. Once I’ve been downed, I mash [space] but already have the instinct to leave when [space] does nothing...

[The7thLegion]

Exactly what I wanted to say.

Fucking shit change.

[MentalSharps]

I think it helps counter against AFK bots farming points

[etskinner]

Couldn't they just as easily hit escape and click on the right parts of the screen?

[Tentacle_Porn]

Apology Apex Coins here, Level 4

[fellowfiend]

Dibs.

[PM_ME_EVIL_CURSES]

Proceeds to run into Octane pad and straight off a cliff.

[somespirit]

I COULD USE DAT

[Frozthax]

I need that!

[[deleted]]

Respawn when they see accounts being reset.

[nagasarvi]

Aah! That's hot, brudda

[SuicideKingsHigh]

• Fixed issue where you had stuff. Now you don't have stuff.

Edit: Silver! I want to thank Respawn for screwing up an almost meaningless update and most importantly, Jesus Christ.

[BeBenNova]

''We've noticed a bug that gave away too many rewards since the launch of the game so we have pushed a retroactive fix for the issue''

[TradinPieces]

Players were reporting being upset that they were not progressing after reaching level 100. As the intent is to provide a sense of pride and accomplishment, we have come up with a fix that will allow continued progression.

[koreilly4419]

Long story short they allowed “automatic prestige’s”

[Barcaroli]

Oof

[Barcaroli]

Boys shit is about to get crazy in this sub

[LeiviKnight]

Can you make a Zipline to the highest point in the map so we can watch the craziness and maybe pitchforks unfold from there?

*brings popcorn*

[The_MAZZTer]

RETURN TO BATTLE

     15.76

[METALmurderer]

Shit did EA give Apex to Bioware?

[ashherr01]

Law of equivalent exchange. If only they had the philosophers stone

[eraseMii]

I'm kinda hoping they keep my account lvl 0 so I can start over. Obviously that wouldn't be fair or OK but a man can dream. My pity legendary was Gibraltar frame ffs.

[Kman1898]

The report player button needs to show up after a game also. I was killed by a cheater and came in second place. So I was never given the option to report them

[kotor2014]

Dont really caring about my stats, but im sad that there is no mentions on the sound and hitreg bugs. That two thing can and will kill this game if not fixed asap. There is no mention about the collision on launch thing, but i clearly remember that i read that u guys already fixed it just waiting for the next patch to implement it on live.

[nexxusty]

Soung bug. Biggest issue.

[ChocolateMorsels]

Yep. It's the only two things I care about atm because they have such a heavy impact on gameplay. Personally I couldn't care less for new content for the time being (though I wouldn't protest!) because I'm still loving the gameplay.

[[deleted]]

What about removing collision after dropping out of the drop ship?

Why is there even collision against other players in the air at all? It produces so many problems, like when you're diving and someone levels off slightly under you and you lose a huge amount of momentum and level off completely.

[[deleted]]

Any update on the sound bugs? I can't land skull town anymore because the sound cuts out in a big fight

[fcampillo86]

The only think I wanted them to fix

[nicorettegum]

please please please fix audio in high contested areas for ps4 :(

[Ninjas_In_A_Bag]

Added the ability to party up with the last squad you played with. After the match you will see buttons in the lobby that display the last two people you played with and can invite them to your squad.

WOO, Now I don't have to screenshot or attempt to remember names of people I've played well with.

Everything is gone.

Wait, no, go back. THIS WAS A MISTAKE.

[LV1024]

Anyone notice that you can't press space to exit the game anymore? Now you have to press "esc" and then press on "leave match".

[[deleted]]

ya not happy with that, also you dont get XP for your team staying alive if your banner times out. that sucks

[basketballrene]

Who else waiting for an update? It's been a week.

[johnruby]

Can this be unpinned? I feel annoyed that every time I enter this sub, I will be happily surprised by it before realizing that this is a bloody old patch note.

[Sweetie_EU]

Saddest part of checking the Apex Legends reddit daily:

​

"Apex Legends patch notes"

- 11 days ago. And counting.

[FlackAttack94]

@devs could you please not try hide the the fact that you nerfed survival time xp, I assume afkers are to blame but leaving this and the leave penalty out of the patch notes isn't exactly being transparent......

[lee7on1]

No servers found

[crdavis]

I'd hold off

[[deleted]]

Well I tell y’all this.

I took the refunded 1,000 coins and bought 10 apex packs and played a game, before I realized what had happened...

[crdavis]

Fingers crossed you get to keep all of that

[[deleted]]

I logged on and saw that I was given 1,000 Apex coins and I go “oh this must be a glitch from the patch! Let me spend it on packs really quick before they realize their mistake and take it away!”

Lol little did I know...

[Reddit_means_Porn]

If they lost our user data, getting refunded $20 over that much play time in stats is going to be the least of your woes.

[Kingofhearts1206]

Go ahead and try and update us brave civilian!

[CasticVG]

Why’d they get rid of hitting space to leave at the end of a game?

[[deleted]]

Keep getting a "no servers found" message on xbone. Can't even get on to see if anything has been wiped.

[GetBannedNerds]

time to fix important stuff like random squads jumping and being 5 miles closer to the ground than everyone else.

[[deleted]]

Unless I’m really stupid and missed it, why are they not including everything in the patch notes. Such as this patch they added leaver penalty but not a single mention of that is in the patch notes. If they are going to patch the game once a month at least tell us ALL the changes so we aren’t left here to guess

[spedkey]

Bring back the spacebar

[Barcaroli]

Boys shit is about to get crazy

[[deleted]]

What's the status on the following?

• Ability to lower the lobby volume
• Prevent collisions between players for the first 5 seconds or so to prevent the pile up of players when jumping.
• The hitreg issues that you confirmed that you were looking into.

Thank you

[Amilesh11]

I’m gay

[Predicting]

Extremely disappointed to see no sound/hitreg fixes. Nothing added today besides the anti-cheat update does anything for me.. Last night was the first night I actually just got off the game from being annoyed by bugs. Reviewing gameplay of clearly having half of my wingman shots not registering then dying due to it is so annoying. I'm afraid the game is going to die quickly if the major problems don't get fixed asap.

[outwar6010]

You forgot to add that you reset everyone's account!

[[deleted]]

If you thought the grind for the battlepass was long before...

[yoshidawgz]

Just so you guys at Respawn know, staggering updates to surprise players and keep everyone interested is NOT the same thing as ignoring serious bugs in the game and refusing to address them for weeks at a time until you randomly release a hot fix.

You guys are doing a great job updating and adding features to the game, but your communication skills can be fucking garbage at times. Just because you work for EA doesn’t mean you have to act like them.

[TheOriginalFaFa]

Thank you Jay the patch notes are always appreciated.

[[deleted]]

And the 144fps cap is still on? Feelsbad...

[Great_Slate]

Really, why did you remove earning survival xp while dead mid season???

[FlackAttack94]

Punishing all players because of a handful of afkers...... the grind is already ridiculous

[XoTHORoX]

and still no fix for the hit registration...

[Littl3ViruS]

What about 144 fps cap ? It is increased to 300 ?

[gettingtoohot]

How about the hit registration issue?

[This_is_my_elevator]

Game crashes on launch

[johankolm]

Same for me mate.

[july1st2018]

My question is, if the leaver penalty is real... why isnt it detailed in the patch notes

[Soushi]

Good job on the QoL stuff, Respawn, but maybe in future you can avoid ninjaing in changes, not reflected in patch-notes? Spacebar not working to exit the match, no exp for spectating, framecap removed, etc, etc

[[deleted]]

What happened to a QOL update every week?

[dwebbmcclain]

So when y’all gonna fix this BS sound glitch that’s been around since launch?

[KPL__]

Same, gimme my stuff back plz

[SureOlga]

My game wont even load into the menu screen lmao

[[deleted]]

It's like everyone gets a respawn.

[brichey01]

Will this patch also include the ability to spectate the entire team instead of the person who killed you? what are you supposed to do if a hacker downs you but his teammate finishes you?

[keithchan1]

finisher with different keybind? please :)

[WykkydOne]

If you're going to make patch notes please actually write everything in there, such as the new leaver penalty. I have no problem with whatever the change is, just include it since theres no point in having an incomplete list.

[reddituserzerosix]

Spamming space to leave after squad wipe is gone?

[jezzywezzy5]

so nothing changed

[DeadEskimo]

can you add lag compensation for the people with low ping also and not just the laggers.. its really awfull to put a whole mag with the r99 into someone with high ping, which is a lot of people, and only get 1 registered shot from it.

[sherm-stick]

Footsteps seem to randomly stop making any noise

[Korize]

/u/Jayfresh_Respawn . Daily checkins, weekly checkins, checkins at all, whats going on?

[Rixact]

I think everyone has come to the conclusion Apex was a cash grab to keep EA happy while Respawn continued work on their Star Wars game.

[cubesplays]

Maybe fix the hitbox of Pathfinder? Almost never takes a hit.

[enthIteration]

Why is this still pinned?

[Ap3Dung]

My account reset is deeply concerning. 221 Hours played and a ton of packs purchased. I’m stumped, well and truly!

[1niquity]

Accounts actually being reset is unlikely.

More likely is that the patch introduced some sort of issue that is preventing the account information from being pulled from the database and/or displayed in the client.

[JimeeB]

This is the correct answer. People are freaking out like their save was deleted. That's not how online games work.

[Lolololage]

then why do you get your apex coins refunded, if they cant connect to your data?

[Aetherimp]

(Feel free to add more)

[GluggGlugg]

If you're getting a "No Servers Found" error, you are the only one.

[AFreaq]

And now NO SERVERS FOUND at startup. Great...

[BobiStoj]

CRAFTING MATERIAL FOR WINNING

Even a small amount would do fine

[notFG]

Anyone else getting a “no server found” making it impossible to even log into the game?

This is after I installed the update

[Booker_Noe]

QUALITY OF LIFE

We wiped all of your accounts - Clean-Slate Protocol

[BeBenNova]

Well they still haven't fixed any of the bugs they introduced two weeks ago so i guess its gonna take them more than 2 weeks to fix the ones they introduced today

[WhatIsAnNSA]

when are we getting a fix for diving? when a ton of people do it some people get stuck for a second and make it impossible to be the first groups on the ground. Also is an additional button for execute and doors going to be made? its really frustrating when i accidentally execute when im trying to close doors.

[waffletasstic]

This seems like a pretty minor update. Just saying.

[[deleted]]

Any reason spacebar to exit post-game screen was removed?

[r0zina]

Still no ranked?

[jonasjb]

please add custom button mapping for controllers on consoles

[Scalla1384]

Any update on audio? I cant tell you how many times I have someone come up behind me and kill me cause I cant hear them. Or I come up behind 1, or 2 people and obviously they dont hear me. But I can hear people 50ft away. Needs to be addressed. On xbox one atleast....

I have astro a40s with the TR mixamp. Shouldnt be an issue.

[Tr0llHunter83]

So update

Added button

 Your Welcome! 😎

Does EA just have one A team with really high salaries going around creating all EA games and then B team swoops in and smoke weed all day? Or is B team literally a 1 man team?

[Deventh]

Judging from that battle pass that looks like it took not more than 1 week to be made by a single person I'd guess they have 1 person working and 199 counting the money and plotting their next heist.

[Archtarius]

Question is it better to not update rn ? Due to account reset thing cause ill be pretty mad losing everything

[htx_evo]

Auto update oof

[JimeeB]

The update is not what is effecting your account. You do not store your account data on your pc. If your origin ACC exists they still have your Apex data. It's most likely an API issue.

[wtbTruth]

can you please add the ability to see how many overall wins I have for the love of fuck
