I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


Stayed up later than I had intended last night because I had 2/3 Arena wins for the event and kept telling my drunk self "we'll get 'em this time." There was a run of 3 or 4 matches where my team of rando pubbiers lost 3-1/3-0. My last three were all fun, but loving long. The first was a loss in a 3v2 match where we played all 9 rounds and I had 11 of my teams 13 kills. The next round was a 3v3 that went all 9 rounds with pretty balanced killcount. I think we dropped the first 2 rounds so this was a good clawing back, but not far enough apparently. The final round our 3rd dropped AFK and we ended up pulling a 2v3 9 round win where I was absolutely carried. Then carried my rear end to bed.

had an extremely crazy game - we were in solar and i went build a digithreat, i think i hit a button or something by accident during the animation and instead of loading the full replicator menu it showed the like UI with no icons. i hit "escape" trying to kill the window and it inexplicably kicked me out of the server - i immediately got the loading screen (with seer i mean) and my two teammates were just going "wtf". i loaded back in and i somehow got teleported like, idk a thousand meters away? you know when you first spawn into a server it shows you like a little viewpoint while it loads? i for some reason spawned there and not at the replicator.



a little to the north west is where i spawned my teammate was bugging out too loud to screenshot before.

no loving idea. it was fortunate it wasn't out of ring or anything, we even won that game. loving weird.

when they first added replicators there was another glitch that would teleport you across the map

iirc when you got downed you zapped over to the last replicators you used

found another weird one, if you hit escape right after you change character in the firing range you die and spawn a corpse of your new character? you can do this to make a big pile of corpses of all your skins

Still loading into the game with 1/2 disconnected teammates a round, but on the positive side, now the 'leave match' button hangs on 'connecting to lobby', so it's alt-F4 every time we wipe.

Loaded up a game today for the first time in awhile. Played for about 3 mins before server started lagging terrible and got disconnected. Guess I'll try again later.

This update actually made the game worse. I tried 4 arenas and 1 BR and none of them worked properly. Arenas never got a full 3 vs 3 game and BR was ridiculously laggy.

Seems like this server patch made things better. I've been getting good games now. Except one BR with no third on the team but that's normal apex matchmaking lol.

Has anyone else had the issue where it seems like the game just randomly slows down and it cancels your sprint? And then basically just doesn’t allow you to run for a bit and then goes back to normal? I just periodically am walking through mud and I’m pretty sure it’s a server issue but I’m not totally certain. I never had this up until a week or two ago.

This is on console, might not be a thing on PC. I don’t think it’s controller related because I turned auto sprint on and theoretically it shouldn’t stop sprinting if I’m holding forward. That and it seems like the game is actually just kinda slow mo when that’s happening.

Yeah running is like a mix of black hole physics and ice skating at the moment. Game is incredibly hosed.

I play very little ranked, but I've been doing this in pubs for a while now. It's one of those small things that make me giggle.

I'm PC, so not just console. I would previously only see that kind of stuttery movement in arenas when I got put on a far away server, now it's every game. It kinda makes me motion sick after a while.

I've been getting movement stuttering on the firing range even. Servers are not living their best life right now.

I play on ps4 and never understand the people that have trouble with this. It's tap to reload and hold to revive, isn't it? I feel like I use downed teammates as cover all the time and have no problem reloading next to them.

Trying to reload at a door is what always gets me.

One of the many things I don’t miss about console (made the switch from Xbox to PC a few months ago) in addition to not being able to move while looting a deathbox, aiming with my thumb, and attempting to mash crouch with the same thumb I aim with.
