Heads up, legends. We’ve been rolling out some changes to @PlayApex to better protect the game’s competitive integrity.

We are making changes to remove automated strafing on controller and will also be making changes to prevent the chaining of cfg files via the +exec command during game time. In other words, we are disabling the ability to use some configs that would allow for a greater range of movement than is usually possible within the game.

We want to be clear: the use of third-party tools, hardware, firmware, or software that automates game mechanics for a competitive edge over other Apex players is considered cheating and is unacceptable. As such, we will continue to evaluate potential exploits and take further action as needed.

In addition to that, we’ve listed the known issues for the game via the official Apex Legends Trello board, as some of these might have been fixed for today’s title update roll out.

INVESTIGATING:

• [FFVII] Badge Reward screen does not display badge rewards
• Playing at 165+ FPS may cause stuttering during some gameplay scenarios
• Button prompts may not appear on summary/death screen, including report button – but buttons still work!
• Legends may rotate when exiting a Trident

IN-PROGRESS:

• [PS5] Crash when using Common or Rare skins with Ash
• [Loba] Prestige Finisher “Enraged Claws” currently unavailable
• Crashes referencing FS_CheckAsyncRequest when loading into a map
• Hot Drops are currently unavailable
• Gifting currently unavailable

Once Respawn releases more details about today’s title update, we’ll add it to the article.

Update: Official patch notes have been added.
