The most immediate impact for players comes from fixes to character-specific kits. Vantage players can breathe a sigh of relief as her pings are now correctly visible to teammates, restoring her role as a primary scout. Meanwhile, Seer's Ultimate has received a critical backend fix to ensure it accurately tracks enemy footsteps, making his zone-control much more reliable in chaotic late-game skirmishes.
Beyond the Legends, Respawn has addressed several environmental and technical hurdles:
- Input Lag: The frustrating input delay experienced when using Replicators at the Wildcard POI has been eliminated.
- Map Visuals: Lighting and shadow adjustments have been applied to Kings Canyon and Olympus to fix jarring visual artifacts.
- PS4 Optimization: Specific performance tweaks have been deployed to stabilize frame rates on PlayStation 4 hardware.
While this patch smooths out the experience for many, the dev team is still investigating reports of FPS drops occurring immediately after players secure a kill. Additionally, if you are still seeing crashes or visual flickering on PC, remember that the advisory issued on May 27th remains relevant: rolling back recent GPU drivers is the recommended temporary fix while a permanent solution is developed. This update shows Respawn is prioritizing the tactical integrity of the Apex Games by ensuring information-gathering abilities like Seer's work as intended.
