Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Most of the rock walls
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Fighting foes
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 1 or any (this issue occurs every time you play using these settings)
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 23.05.19 00:47
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? It allows people to see through these rocks where they should not normally see, giving you huge advantage over an enemy.
What should be happening instead? It should not allow you to do so.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Following path (on Windows) C:\Users\*user*\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local you can find videoconfig.txt that contains changable settings, one of which is "setting.r_lod_switch_scale" that if set "0.1" or lower, can allow you to change all models (including props, equipment, characters and big wall rocks) to the lowest level of detail (which many of are completely broken and are heavily optimisation unfriendly).

The lowest level of detail of the big wall rocks are smaller (or much smaller) than their collision box, giving you the ability to see anything through it. On other models (or other sides of models) it happens to be bigger than the collision box, hiding something that untampered config player would see.

Now, I need to confess. I've used this config setting to gain ability to play the game, since normally I get 40 frames per second in a combat with normal LOD setting.
I would like to beg you to NOT to disable videoconfig.txt tampering, since, I wouldn't be able to play the game. The only game that I want to play to this day.
And also I would like to beg you again to remodel level of detail, rather than, presumably, using automation tool to make these models for you.

Please ._.
