Apex Legends dev explains why broken banner bug still hasn\u2019t been fixed Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends dev has finally responded to the animated banner crashing bug stopping players from getting into matches, explaining why it\u2019s taking so long to fix the issue. As with any multiplayer title, Apex Legends suffers from a variety of glitches that affect the gameplay. While the majority of these issues are minor, and on occasion can even be positive, a few continue to cause serious problems for Respawn. One of which is the animated banner crashing bug that arose all the way back in September. This issue was discovered by the devs after players continued to complain about pre-game crashes whenever they had an Epic rarity banner equipped. As these cosmetics are animated, they seem to prevent players from getting into matches, leading the game to crash. Despite multiple attempts to fix the issue, the bug is still affecting players today and with Season 11 on the horizon, the community wants to know when a solution is going to be found. Luckily, a dev has finally addressed the bug and revealed why it\u2019s taking so long to find a fix. Has the Apex Legends banner crashing bug been fixed? During a communication strategy thread on Twitter, the Community Director at Respawn responded to a comment asking about the banner crashing bug still causing issues in Apex Legends. Describing it as the \u201cmost frustrating thing about Apex right now\u201d, the player asked whether the dev team was still working on a fix and if they were any closer to solving the issue. Does this mean you\u2019re still working on the banner crashing issue? Because it\u2019s still really prevalent and honestly the most frustrating thing about Apex right now. Even just a \u201cit\u2019s complicated but we know we haven\u2019t gotten it totally fixed yet\u201d acknowledgement would be nice. \u2014 E-Tik (@dj_etik) October 13, 2021 In response, the dev outlined that the bug was \u201c10x\u201d harder to fix than they first anticipated, and the team is still working on finding a fix. While this isn\u2019t the news a lot of Apex players will want to hear, even the acknowledgment that the glitch is incredibly hard to fix will be enough for a lot of the community to sympathize. Yeah it sucks, team\u2019s on it. Just one of those things that\u2019s 10X more complicated that you\u2019d expect \u2014 Ryan K. Rigney (@RKRigney) October 13, 2021 Although it\u2019s likely going to be a while longer before players can re-equip their Epic banners, it\u2019s great to know Respawn are still doing their best to solve the issue.
