Respawn fixing Apex Legends lag on Olympus after Season 12 complaints Respawn EntertainmentPlayers have been dropping into Apex Legends Season 12 in droves to check out the Olympus changes, but it\u2019s not been the same for everyone. Console players have reportedly experienced massive lag on the new map, and Respawn are fixing it. The updated Olympus map is one of the biggest draw cards in Apex Legends Season 12. After first being released in Season 7, the \u201cSabotaged\u201d map is its second big update in less than two years. With a couple of new POIs including Phase Driver and Terminal opening up the South side of the map that was rather bare, there\u2019s a whole new way to approach the map in the Defiance update. However, it\u2019s not been smooth sailing for everyone. While PC players have been mostly fine with exploring the new Olympus, console players have been suffering from major FPS drops due to a lack of optimization. Players on older consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One have been suffering the most. The chorus of complaints has been heard by Respawn though, and a fix is on its way. \u201cHeads up, legends: We\u2019re aware of and investigating an issue causing frame rate loss on Olympus for our PS4, Xbox 1, and Switch players,\u201d Respawn told players on February 8 just hours after the update dropped. Exactly how long it\u2019ll take remains to be seen, but the fix should at least bring console players back up to their baseline 60 FPS instead of dropping into the teens or low-20s. Heads up, legends: We’re aware of and investigating an issue causing frame rate loss on Olympus for our PS4, Xbox 1, and Switch players. More info to come as we have it. \u2014 Respawn (@Respawn) February 8, 2022 It\u2019s also spurred on conversation on when Apex Legends\u2019 next gen launch will finally hit live servers. While an exact release date hasn\u2019t been confirmed by Respawn, the game is now rated on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a release date of February 8, the same day as Season 12\u2019s launch. It is yet to hit online storefronts. We\u2019ll update you once Respawn fixes the performance issues on Olympus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
