No sounds from attackers(inconsistent) and other issues.

What happens when the bug occurs? There is no audio from attackers..
What should be happening instead? You should clearly hear the audio form other players if they are close enough and not creeping.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I think this is widely known and has been clearly shown on some streams... if not I can stream and show anyone.

  1. Please look into the audio issues with not being able to hear attackers. I have no problems in any other games(R6, ROE, BFV) but this is a huge issue with apex. I see other people saying it’s fine for them so who knows why it’s only some people. It’s really hard to play with no audio cues. Not being able to hear an enemy your fighting flank and only knowing they did from hit markers is frustrating. I’ve seen people mention this but it gets downplayed or ignored like it’s a user issue.

 

  1. There is also major issues with netcode, Battle(non)sense did a very good video showing it. For me hit registration and being able to dodge is way more consistent if I'm a higher latency connection, like a mobile hotspot. When I'm playing from a Fiber 1Gbps connection there seems to be an issue with hit registration and dying quickly. I think a lot of my issues could possibly stem from this, but who knows? I'm just a security engineer, not a game dev.
  2. Can time to kill be adjusted? It’s just way to high and promotes this stupid meta with fight vulturing and shotguns/wingman.
  3. Reconnect on disconnect or crash.
  4. Skill grouping. My friends and I all group up on evenings and weekends, so going up against pro level gamers gets old. From their perspective, I imagine it’s pretty boring for anyone trying to create interesting streaming content as well. 

I also posted this to reddit but it didnt get much notice. It's funny that people care more about voice quips matching between players instead of issues like netcode, grouping and audio.

What happens when the bug occurs? I hear no sounds of steps, climbing, sliding or opening of doors, wich is cruical for me when i play cause i play by sound alot.
What should be happening instead? there should be sounds of steps and opening of doors and such..
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? i have not found any sort of pattern of when it happens so im guessing you just have to play the game.

takes away alot of the fun in the game when u constantly get ambushed almost all the time without hearing any sounds of steps or anything, even when i choose to close a door to make sure i hear when someone comes at me i cant even hear the door open on me when im just standing still doing nothing in a house or just healing..
today I died so many times because of this issue.

Footsteps After Apex Update 1.1

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Footsteps almost non existent after update. Patch notes say they fixed it but it's way worse. How could this even be the case? They seriously need to fit it. It's almost unplayable. I'm sure revenue from this game has been through the roof. The innovative ping system does not outweigh the technical issues in this game.

What happens when the bug occurs? First concern is the footstep audio.... Sometimes I can hear players as normal, from 50 odd metres away, but there's the odd occasion where someone is able to sneak up on me and pretty much jump on my back without me hearing whilst I can still hear enemies far away?? Quite a regular occurrence and my friends have all experienced this. Secondly, this has happened to me once; was in a 1v1 situation, I got him super weak before I ran out of ammo, he went around the corner to heal so I pushed him. I snuck up on him to melee him, and everytime I went to melee it would auto-aim away from him by a fraction as the melee animation was taking place, he was still the whole time not realizing I was there. Had him centred everytime but would veer off as I went to punch. After about 5 attempts, he had healed himself, reloaded and turned around like a bot and dropped me. The audio is by far the main issue here, especially for a BR game where you spend time looting up and being all strategic. To be shot in the back of the head point-blank and have my whole squad wiped like that is extremely frustrating and feels like the rest of the game prior to that happening was all for nothing...
What should be happening instead? RELIABLE AUDIO

Hi, @rowanbol 

 

The Apex Legends team is aware of audio issues mentioned in this post here. (No footsteps is mentioned)

 

After looking at your DxDiag though it seems like you could update to the latest build of Windows 10. Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates. Your video card drivers could possibly need a new driver update too. The link below can help walk you through on how to update your devices.

Audio Glitch in large groups of enemies

★★★ Newbie

Hey Apex team!

 

I am an Xbox player and have experienced this unrelenting issue. Every time I drop by or am in a large group of enemies, my game sound BREAKS! I can't hear anything and it's as if someone tossed my game sound in a blender. Please fix this as it makes the game borderline unplayable in those crucial situations.
