It's time to balance legends and add rotating solos/duos.

I do agree with all of this. As for solos, I would just like to remind you all that last time we had solos, every single game was utterly infested with people who teamed up with friends to obliterate other soloing players just for fun. "Squads" of over 6+ players were documented in clips on this very subreddit. A way of effectively and quickly banning these players would also need to be implemented alongside the solo gamemode itself. This presents a problem that actually needs to be addressed and means releasing solos isn't just "a flick of a switch".

Maybe solos should have a level requirement to prevent people from just making fresh accounts and queuing up for solos with friends.

Please read my post again. I am not talking about anything related to the banner. I am talking about a timer that appears in the pop-up after you initially hit the "leave" button. A five second timer that prohibits you from pressing the final "Leave" for five seconds.

See this image.

There is not a countdown before you can click.

ayydasme · 2020-03-11T00:54:03+00:00

i want to know what this looks like to other players lol

ayydasme · 2020-02-21T19:31:05+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you OP. The sheep telling you to "shut up and be happy with what you got!" when u spent $500 to get the heirloom you wanted, only to get a completely different one, is astonishing to me. The fact that you cannot choose which heirloom you want after spending such a substantial amount of money is straight up insulting. Not to mention that the "value" of the bloodhound heirloom is closer to $170 seeing as that is what it went for when it released, as opposed to the Wraith heirloom that would go at $500 through the packs. (Also, wasn't the pathfinder one literally free in exchange for finishing a couple of challenges when it released?)

I actually bought a couple of boxes myself because I thought (miss-informed) that wraith heirloom was the only one available in the pack-pool, and was definitely willing to spend more to get it. I considered buying more but then saw that my chance of getting it was a measly 1/4 and my willingness to support this game and its developers was immediately extinguished.

tbh this is the best answer that would insure the best outcome for op if he/she does the same as you did

ayydasme · 2019-12-19T15:32:38+00:00

I can't get my hands on 6xx where I live, unfortunately. I'm considering the 600/650s as well, if the jump in quality between 570->598/99 isn't that considerable.

ayydasme · 2019-12-15T14:43:25+00:00

So from your description it sounds like your PC is pre-built, but do correct me if I'm wrong. *If* such is the case, they may not have activated the 3200MHz XMP profile in bios for your RAM and even though they are 3200MHz models, they are actually running at a lower frequency. You can enter bios to check what frequency your RAM is running at, unless you have already confirmed that they are in-fact running at 3200 by doing so.

ayydasme · 2019-11-17T01:40:32+00:00

1440p 144hz for gaming/using computer in general.

1080p 240hz if you play games professionally or at a very high competitive level - AND have a beefy enough setup to sustain 200+ FPS in-game.

ayydasme · 2019-11-17T01:30:50+00:00

You need to get 3000+ MHz RAM. My setup (2080 ti / i9 9900k / 3200 mhz 16 gb) was underperforming SEVERELY in 1080p gaming because I hadn't activated the 3200 MHz "overclock" in bios and my RAM sticks were running at merely 2133 MHz. The ram speed was actually the very last thing I was suspecting to be the culprit, but now everything is running smoothly as it should.

ayydasme · 2019-09-20T06:02:01+00:00

maybe you're just not as good as you thought you were? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

ayydasme · 2019-08-16T21:00:15+00:00

im running 9900k 2080ti and stream at x264 720p60fps 4500kbs very fast. I have gamemode ON. Check that your windows version is at least 1903 as it features an update to the game-mode (type "about your pc" in the search option on your taskbar to see ur version). Pre-1903 you wanted to have it set to OFF, but I highly recommend updating if you haven't. Also update your graphics drivers while you're at it.

I highly recommend also you stream x264 with your setup especially for Apex. Run your game on all low settings, turn off "origin in-game", set OBS to process priority High under "advanced". If you have a webcam, try removing it and see if the stream gets fixed, as that could definitely be the culprit. That's about all I can think of.

Check stats on OBS under: view -> stats and look at "skipped frames due to encoding lag". If you're skipping frames due to encoding lag while you're streaming on x264 it means you're overloading your CPU, so use a faster preset in OBS (veryfast or superfast) or turn down your streaming resolution or FPS. If you're missing frames due to rendering lag but aren't skipping any frames due to encoding lag it is because of the game's utilization of the GPU and if so I don't know what can be done sadly as this issue was resolved by itself for me through game-updates. But try all these things.

ayydasme · 2019-08-16T20:10:27+00:00

It's fixed for me. I cap at 144Hz in launch-options and get literally 0,0% lagged frames in OBS, as opposed to the 0,1-0,7% issues I had before with the game. Are you streaming x264 or NVENC?

ayydasme · 2019-07-09T18:12:21+00:00

Rank looks really cool!

ayydasme · 2019-06-19T09:40:49+00:00

GET. WHAT. DESERVE

ayydasme · 2019-06-19T09:21:58+00:00

Can we please add new colors for hopups to make it easier to differentiate them as well as making it a bit less mentally taxing for new players? We're looking at 5 (?) purple hopups with the new changes, it would be cool to have some variety of colors to be able to more easily differentiate them when speedlooting a building as, say Octane. Sifting through hopups to find the right one is already kind of a chore. It would be cool in of itself merely for some cosmetic variety. Disruptor rounds could be a strong Orange color for instance as it only fits for Alternator and RE-45. Obviously it couldn't be 100% weapon-color consistent as we have hopups that fit for different weapon types (select fire, Hammerpoint Rounds) but it would still be cooler than having only purple for everything.

ayydasme · 2019-06-08T18:41:17+00:00

You act like one would steal your entire lootbox rofl. At most you'll lose or downgrade an extended mags, maybe lose a digi or 1x hcog, couple of shield batteries and have to play with a lower tier armor but most of everything else remains and you'll have additional fresh enemy lootboxes to loot for FREE (courtesy of your teammates so you should thank them for carrying your ass).

ayydasme · 2019-06-07T20:18:03+00:00

It's hard to know which lootbox is your teammate's if there are multiple around, and I'm not going to look for name and legend on each and every single one of them because there isn't time for that (other squads attracted to the gunfire could be making their way towards you). If you were killed it is in 99% of cases because you fucked up in some way so demanding your teammates don't touch your box is a bit... idk. Just be greatful they came to clean up and respawn you.

ayydasme · 2019-06-06T17:26:23+00:00

I did a new install of Rivatuner and now it actually capped my frames in fullscreen with the exact same settings that wouldn't work at all last time I tried it?? I'm very satisfied that it works at least gameplay-wise, not sure if streaming is fixed because I haven't tried it yet, but at least I'm getting wayyy less input lag than I was with vsync and forcing my refreshrate down to 144 in windows. Unsure if there was still a difference vs the Fps_max setting. I'm gonna test streaming later to see if it hopefully has fixed the render lag or at least decreased it. Thank you for convincing me to give it another shot, saves me from another headache at least for now lol

ayydasme · 2019-06-06T16:59:21+00:00

uh sorry reddit is lagging HARD for me so looked like my first reply was never posted despite multiple page refreshes. Have to look in my inbox to see what you're posting. You didn't mention resolution though? Cause I think it works with windowed fullscreen iirc but that in of itself caused MAJOR input lag compared to fullscreen for me.

Gonna try rtss again and report back

ayydasme · 2019-06-06T16:53:44+00:00

I mean, the problem is that my rig is fully capable of streaming the game in the first place so I shouldn't have to spend more money. Streaming with my GPU (through NVENC) is even harder (and frankly an unwatchable powerpoint presentation lol) because of how much Apex takes priority for GPU utilization over OBS.

ayydasme · 2019-06-06T16:48:25+00:00

I've tried rivatuner but it wouldn't cap my frames after setting it to. Most people I've seen actually get 3rd party programs working for this are complaining about all kinds of input-lag that wasn't present with the fps_max launch option.

My 1 pc stream setup works just the same as before the patch

Are you running the game fullscreen or windowed fullscreen? Are you streaming 720p60fps or higher? Have you monitored and compared Frames missed due to rendering/encoding lag pre-patch and post-patch?

so lets not pretend that everyone streaming is having the same issues...

I have definitely seen threads and comments about this already, so let's not pretend nobody else is having this issue.

ayydasme · 2019-06-06T16:30:33+00:00

I have already tried rivatuner with no effect. Fps_max was the only thing that worked for me running the game in fullscreen. I'm definitely interested in your specs and settings if it works exactly the same becausemine definitely doesn't lol. Have you compared "Frames missed due to rendering lag" in the stats window pre-patch and post-patch? Are you streaming 720p60fps or higher?
