My season 2 KDR changed to .1 after the new update a few days ago.

Re: KD Ratio is being miscalculated on PC.

I'm having this problem as well. Rounds it to 1.0 or 0.0

 

Both for the Win ratio and the K/D

K/DR Calculation

★ Novice

In general, Kill:Death ratios are quite literally: Kills / Deaths

To account for divide by zero error, you could say it is actually: Kills / (Deaths + 1)

Regardless, it looks like the current formula is: 1 - (Kills / Deaths)

It is very strange to see me having roughly as many kills as deaths with a 0.1 K/DR. Is this statistic in fact not Kill:Death ratio?

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. Viewing stats in menu
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? N/A
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 7:40 PM, July 21, 2019
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Little to no impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Lifetime & Seasonal KDR bugged in menu. Has been this way since Season 2 began.
What should be happening instead? Should be ~0.95 Lifetime and ~0.99 Seasonal, displays as 0.1 in both instances. (For reference, 630 Kills/675 Death are the stats listed).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click view stats and look at KDR

Fairly self-explanatory up top. K/DR seems to be poorly implemented.

I am having the same issue as well. My K/D is bad enough as it is, but now the stat is making it look worse... lol.

What should be happening instead? My KDR should be displayed as 0.8-0.9
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I doubt that this is a universal problem, however several other people have told me that they have experienced it as well, so I don't know how to recreate it.

Re: KD Ratio is being miscalculated on PC.

Please understand that this is a very hard bug to fix for a programmer and don't expect a fix for at least a few months minimum.   Rounding errors can be serious trouble for programmers as they can do different types of variables and it is not always easy to find doing beta testing.  Just use a good old fashioned calculator and you can calculate your real KDR extremely easily.  Computer math just do not have the same ability to perform all the simple functions that your cheap calculator can handle.  If this game was running on Linux, I'm sure it would never become a bug, but most programmers only code with Windows unfortunately.  Frown((

Re: KD Ratio is being miscalculated on PC.

This is in NO WAY a rounding error - my actual K/D is 0.9 and it's showing up as 0.1. A few months to fix something that is standard in ANY shooter and was working for half a year in the game? That's beyond ridiculous a claim to make - this has to be a priority for a competitive squad shooter like Apex. It's a massive thorn in the side when the most basic maths function does not work as intended.

K/DR is wrong!

1,249 divided by 640 is 1.9515625, not 1.1.

Yeah I've reported the same elsewhere, the stats screen is a mess.

 

It could also do with clarification as to what constitutes a 'death'.

Do you die when the match ends?

Does being killed, then respawned, count as multiple deaths?

 

I suspect K/DR is (or at least should be) the far more useful stat of 'kills per match'.

The numbers are still hopelessly wrong, but they'd at least be vaguely useful once whatever underlying bug that's causing them to be miscalculated has been fixed.
