Apex Legends FPS drops: Players angry as update causes performance issues Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have been experiencing major frames-per-second (FPS) drops in their matches, possibly linked to an anti-cheat update for the game. Respawn Entertainment is working to get its battle royale to the best possible state before the start of Season 3 Meltdown, which could introduce Crypto among various changes in the Kings Canyon landscape. But leading up to the next chapter for Apex Legends, PC players are reporting \u201ca huge drop in performance\u201d which has been causing headaches and frustrations among some members of the game\u2019s community. It wouldn\u2019t be Crypto causing the frame drops that some Apex Legends players are reporting. Players have been noticing the spike in performance issues since a mid-September patch, while others believe that the problems could be linked to either the game\u2019s anti-cheat measures or new in-game Crypto features. \u201cIt looks like some people playing on PC, including myself, are experiencing a huge drop in performance since (September) 19th,\u201d Reddit user \u2018n0_video\u2019 said. \u201cSome say it\u2019s from the anti-cheat, others say it\u2019s from the new update that added the Crypto stuff.\u201d In some cases, players are reporting not being able to get results better than 45 FPS. But even more strange is that the problem seems to be flickering periodically for some, as they\u2019ll go days without any issue before being hit with the problems again. FPS issues are ruining the Apex Legends experience for some players. \u201cIt happened right after the patch and then it went away after 2~ days without me doing anything at all,\u201d one user said. \u201cNow it\u2019s back, I can\u2019t get more than 45 FPS in some zones when I\u2019m usually at 85 FPS everywhere.\u201d Even in deserted parts of the Kings Canyon map where there isn\u2019t much action happening, people are finding it difficult to keep their game from stuttering. \u201cWhen the server melts, it does a sort of slow-mo stutter that can vary in severity,\u201d another player said. \u201cThe last two days it has been low key stuttering all the time, in a very minor way, but people I play with have noticed too.\u201d As of yet there\u2019s no word on what could be causing the problem, but the Apex Legends devs are sure to look for a fix soon with Season 3 Meltdown on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
