Apex Legends: Respawn shares new details on future updates and teases Season 1 reveal livestream Respawn Entertainment have posted a detailed update focused on answering a variety of questions from the Apex Legends community and detailing what fans can expect from future updates. Apex Legends hasn\u2019t even been out two weeks and it\u2019s already been blowing through milestones with impressive ease, all while racking up a player count of over 25 million. With a lengthy update posted to the Apex Legends subreddit, Respawn made it clear that they\u2019re going to be aiming to reach new heights outside of the game by touching on a few major talking points that have arisen in the community over the last two weeks. Crashes and Bug Reports Respawn kicked off the update by letting fans know that they are taking reports of crashing on all platforms \u201cseriously\u201d and will be looking to improve things in the near future. Players can expect a new patch next week (no date was specified) that will seek to improve stability, performance, and other qualities of life. Additionally, Respawn went into great detail explaining the process of reporting bugs to ease many fears about reports being lost on deaf ears. Cheaters With over 25 millions players and counting, it\u2019s no shock to hear that many cheaters have been spotted throughout the first two weeks of release. To date, Respawn confirms that over 16,000 players have been identified and banned from the game. Any players that run into cheaters are urged to use this tool to report them immediately. Even if you don\u2019t have any proof, simply flagging the ID will allow Respawn to investigate the account and make sure that cheaters are dealt with as soon as possible. Ongoing communication Perhaps most important of all, Respawn laid out what will be a hefty and regular update schedule for the coming weeks. Posts to the Apex Legends subreddit will be made daily and while not all of them will contain major news, the open line of communication will surely be received positively by the community. Upcoming livestreams dedicated to new content were also teased, with the first one confirmed to be centered around discussing the upcoming launch of Season 1 in March. You can read the full developer update from Respawn Entertainment below: 2.15.2019: An Update From Respawn Lots to talk about! THE CRASHES We know this has been frustrating for many of you across all platforms. We hear you and we take this issue seriously. Improving stability, performance, and quality of life is a big priority for us and we have a lot of work to do. We pushed our first patch out earlier this week and we\u2019ve got many more coming [including one next week!]. We\u2019ll always provide patch notes when these come out. No I can\u2019t tell you what\u2019s in it yet. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I REPORT SOMETHING? We\u2019re always listening and looking for reported issues. As you can imagine, when you drop your game out of nowhere and 25 million people show up in the first week, there\u2019s going to be all kinds of issues, bugs, exploits, etc. discovered. Our customer service team provides daily reports and many folks on the dev team are finding and emailing links of reported issues across social channels and reddit. We\u2019ve also got some rad tools that capture all kinds of data from the game, measure sentiment, and provide insight into what the most talked about things are around Apex Legends. When issues are reported they are curated by our wonderful QA team who attempts to reproduce the issue based on the info they have. If they are able to reproduce it, a ticket is created and they are added to the rest of the known issues, prioritized, scheduled, and assigned to the proper devs to address it. How do we prioritize? We use data to inform us of how many people are being affected, how damaging the exploit could be, how much resources it would take to fix it, etc. HELP US HELP YOU If we can\u2019t reproduce the issue locally, it\u2019s pretty impossible to fix it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s super important that when you report an issue you\u2019re experiencing, you provide as much information as possible. If you just post: \u201cMy game keeps crashing. Fix it.\u201d, there\u2019s not a lot we can do to help you, and we really want to help you! So, help us help you. Best place to report bugs is using the link below and following some steps: https:\/\/answers.ea.com\/t5\/Bug-Reports\/bd-p\/apex-legends-bug-reports-en What platform are you playing on? – Origin ID \/ Gamertag \/ PSN – What were you doing leading up to the issue? – Can you reproduce it? What are the steps? – PC players \u2013 provide hardware specs, OS version and GPU driver version. – If possible, it\u2019s great if you can capture a screenshot \/ picture or video. – Pay attention for dev updates. – CHEATERS As of today over 16,000 cheaters have been identified and banned from the game. Cheaters suck. If you run into one, please try and capture the evidence and let us know here: https:\/\/www.easy.ac\/en-us\/support\/apexlegends\/contact\/report\/ Even if you don\u2019t get proof, get their ID and flag it and we can investigate the account. We have heard your feedback about a report feature in the game. I\u2019ll just say that\u2019s a very good idea \ud83d\ude42 OUR ONGOING CONVERSATION Your trust is truly important to us. Seriously. We said at launch that we will always strive to be direct, honest, and as transparent as we can with all of you. This is how we\u2019ll be starting to do that: We\u2019re going to start doing more regular updates like this moving forward. I\u2019ll be making posts daily starting Tuesday next week. Not all of these will be ground breaking or major news but think of it as our way of checking in each day to address what we can. – Livestreams! As we speak, a production team is building a rad soundstage and set right here at Respawn. I can\u2019t wait to get it up and running and start putting on shows with the team. We will debut our first developer stream around the launch of Season 1. – With the permission of you all and the mod team, I\u2019d like to have a dedicated spot here where I can provide a list of troubleshooting tips for some issues folks are having. – Couple more things in the works that we\u2019ll talk about more in the near future. – I wish I could respond to each and every one of you but it\u2019s physically impossible. For context: I currently have nearly 6K responses and over 50 message requests in my inbox, and that\u2019s just this subreddit. Trust me when I say that myself, and many folks on the team are here reading your posts and it\u2019s been the best feeling seeing our baby out in the wild and taking on a life of its own through you. Enjoy the weekend, be kind to each other, and have fun! Next update on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
