Heads up, legends! Respawn Entertainment has released the Apex Legends update 1.39 May 20 patch, and while it’s a super small download, it’s been rolled out to fix something big and that’s the hit registration issues gamers have been suffering through.
Apex Legends update 1.39 May 20 patch notes:
Don’t expect a full-fledged patch notes list, but the hit registration fix was confirmed by Respawn Entertainment Producer Josh Medina over on Twitter.
Just wanna say that the guy who busted his ass to fix hit reg is my dude @ricklesauceur
I hope he actually enjoys the long weekend and now we can update his code schedule lol

As far as we know, that’s it, but hopefully, it fixes the pre-game crashes as well. If you notice anything that got changed or improved (definitively) in this Apex Legends update 1.39 May 20 patch, let us know down in the comments and we’ll update the post (crediting you).

In other Apex Legends news, Respawn Entertainment has announced that they’ve opened a new studio in Vancouver just for the game. While this might be good news for Apex Legends fans, Titanfall players will be sad to know that the studio confirmed that there’s no new Titanfall game in development.
My download is 28 GB…
download is 28 GB for me on PS4
Matchmaking seems broken though. Takes forever to match 60 players compared to before the patch
There’s an issue I’m having on ps4 it stutters my sprint and makes me slow as hell. It’s not my controller and I activated auto sprint and it still does it and it’s greatly affecting gameplay didn’t start happening til this season
Taking forever to copy update file on ps4 for me and I’m direct wired with xfinity so connectivity isnt the issue, I just got off work popped a few cold ones and went to go start up the game and it was stuck on 14% I deleted re downloaded and still taking forever, I’ve been on this screen for about 10 mins and barely on
6%
Copying doesn’t has to do something with your connectivity. What it basically does is, copying the whole game (Apex – 45GB) while copying putting in the updated files you downloaded, then deleting the older version of the game.
Blame it on the slow hard drive of the ps4. Luckily we’re getting a lightning fast one with the ps5 😉
Unfortunately my buddies and i are still having hit registration problems after updating. Even asked some randoms and they said they are experiencing the same thing after update.
I would love it if you guys could fix the problem using ninja or other certain custom button layouts on console, since season 5 started you can’t use Loba’s ultimate or loot death boxes using ninja or certain custom button layouts because it just pings everything instead. This would help alot because I’ve and a bunch of others have had to change their button layout because of it.
Would also be awesome if they fixed the problem of allowing controller aim assist on PC….
