Apex Legends players frustrated over \u201ccheats\u201d used to enhance movement Electronic ArtsApex Legends players continue to express frustration at the number of users who exploit CFG files as \u201ccheats\u201d to enhance movement. Config files, or CFGs, let players modify game settings beyond what\u2019s available in-game. Editing such files has various uses, one being that players can fix bugs that even developers haven\u2019t addressed. But this level of customization, which has existed for decades, is considered cheating by some, especially in competitive spaces. For instance, Apex Legends players may use certain configs to make super glides far easier to pull off. As things currently stand, though, Respawn seems to be in no hurry to label such customization as cheating. Players who face off against opponents who use CFGs remain as frustrated as ever when insanely fast-moving Legends join a match. Apex Legends fans wonder why CFG files aren\u2019t bannable offenses Reddit user lifeisbadclothing presented the following question to the Apex community in a recent thread: \u201cWill Respawn ever do anything about the ridiculous amount of players using cfg\u2019s to move like this?\u201d What accompanies the post is an 11-second clip of the Redditor trying to hit an Octane bouncing around at dizzying speeds. It\u2019s tough to watch and likely far more difficult to play against in an already fast-paced shooter. As to why Respawn hasn\u2019t tackled the issue as of yet, one Redditor said: \u201cThey don\u2019t know how to do anything about it. So it stays.\u201d But others believe it \u201cWould be incredibly easy to write a script that detects for repetitive input timings and insert [it] into an anti-cheat.\u201d Meanwhile, there are those who think some uses for CFG files in Apex Legends are simply \u201ccringe.\u201d Wrote one person, \u201cI respect it if you\u2019re inputting movement techs manually but if you\u2019re just pressing the \u2018whee spin around\u2019 button it\u2019s cringe.\u201d Clearly, this is one problem that may not be solved anytime in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
