Any Xbox goons still playing this? I like to play weekend mornings / afternoons and weeknights around 5:30PT.

I play on Xbox. Sometimes around then, but usually later in the evening on weekdays.

Looks like Respawn added Linux and EAC support early this year. But also never officially announced it for some reason? Idunno.

respawn are possibly hedging their bets in case they decide to pull linux support later, by not announcing it they're less committed to supporting it forever

there are already linux-specific apex cheats because the linux version of EAC is much easier to get around than the windows version

also it's possible that apex will switch over to EAAC at some point (EAs own confusingly named anticheat) which at least currently doesn't support linux at all

Interesting, guess I hadn't heard about a linux version because people either aren't using it or aren't announcing that they use it when they do.

Anybody tried to play on a steam deck yet?

i play on linux and it runs pretty great, but sometimes after patches i'll get real bad lag on first load of every map because it didn't pre-compile shaders :iiam:
it'll work just as well or possibly better on deck.

Stop all the downloading!

Help computer.
On the Steam Deck, the shader cache files are already provided. For everyone else on Linux though...

Each new update (no matter how small) invalidates pretty much the entire shader cache :smith:

There's a community-maintained cache file though which gets updated pretty frequently. There's also a launcher script here that will automatically download the latest community shader cache updates when you open the game.

Passive: Reinforce
Standing near your ferrofluid structures, doors, and other Legends' placeables will strengthen their integrity and allow them to take significantly more damage.

Tactical: Resin Shot
On impact, the shot creates a ramp of hardened ferrofluid that can be extended with more shots. Can also be used to create platforms on walls. (Max three structures)

Ultimate: Ferro Wall
Ferrofluid rises up from below, pushing you upwards while creating a tall solid column under you.

My favourite Legends are the ones who are Just Some rear end in a top hat with no connection to any greater plot threads.

Rampart, Fuse (a bit less now with Maggie around), Bloodhound to an extent. Octane and Horizon originally too but they have stuff going on and it's less funny to me now.

i mean mirage tends to help other legends do whatever, so he appears in stories from time to time. i think he's doing a lot of stuff with wraith especially?

He’s got plot threads and connections, everybody’s got plot threads and connections. There’s arguments to be made about how well they’ve been handled or how long certain threads have been dangling, but I don’t think anyone has ever been fully divorced from everything. At minimum they’ve arrived with lots of obvious implications of things to come.

Mirage’s current main thing is helping Wraith. Then he’s got particular connections but no current story with Rampart, Pathfinder, and Crypto. And in terms of side characters he’s got his mom’s health and the possibility of his deadbeat dad or MIA brothers showing up.

runchild posted:

Back in regular BR there’s a special item in the replicators. For 125 mats you can craft a “Golden Ticket”, which gives you a random fully kitted gun, some ammo, and “a ticket to see the future home of the Apex Games”. Doesn’t seem like it does anything until next Wednesday though, based on the “A NEW HOME” option in the mode select screen.

Gonna guess it'll let you get access to the "map preview" where you can run across the new map while combat is disabled. I think they did this for Olympus.

I’d be surprised if they actually turn off the ability to craft tickets when it opens, but who knows.

I’d bet dollars to donuts that it’s a map preview mode like SKULL.GIF said. The Olympus one was a really nice way to get to know the map, plus it was fun to have a few dozen people not killing each other. There were still (quick) ring closures so eventually everyone was jumping and spamcrouching and smashing Tridents into each other in the same POI. Reminds me of a regular match I once had where the last 4-5 teams spontaneously stopped fighting and we all just goofed off until the ring killed us.

supposedly somebody on reddit glitched into the map preview by lagging really badly in firing range (????)

sounds more like the arenas teaser rather than a full map walkthrough
