Is the new gun in the training mode, or just live gameplay?

Holy Moly! For some reason the Radeaon fps counter wasn't working in Apex so I turned on Origin-in game feature and just had two games in a row with no crashes



I'm probably jinxing myself here but gently caress it, Try turning on Origin-in Game I guess...

I’m not into BR games but the ping system is absolutely genius and should be the new industry standard. Fast and efficient communication and you can leave chat/voip off without missing out on much.

The balancing of squads vs single players is also spot on, having a team member quit/dc makes things harder but never hopeless.

We won. Kind of feel like I should just quit while I'm ahead.

I’m surprised people can use AHK with this running at all for that peacekeeper thing. How is it not detected?

I mean that's the thing, I did and plenty of others did as well. The kind of control you had to have to excell in Quake3 was far beyond what most games call for these days, like can you imagine if today's games had loving rail guns lol

I think it has more to do with how large your hands are and whether you claw the mouse or you rest your palm on it. I don't rest, I claw and my forearm rests on my desk, so the weight isn't resting on my wrist or anything.

I think it’s more that most people will be more successful with a low sensitivity, and games like apex legends aren’t really fast enough to require a really high sens. Playing with a huge inches/360 would probably be a really bad idea in quake, but in Apex Legends and most BRs you usually have a very good idea of where people will be and don’t usually have to do crazy spins unless you’ve hosed up. Whereas in quake that’s part and parcel of playing the game well (and I think it’s just generally a lot harder mechanically). Ofc if you’re already good at wrist aiming and are a crazy rail gun savant stick with it; this is more advice for people who haven’t played FPS games for awhile or who don’t feel their aim is great yet.


E: now I want to play a BR with quake style mechanics and rail guns

They probably didn't know they needed to detect it. A lot of things like this are easy to detect, but only if you're actually looking. Honestly though, they should just fix the bug rather than trying to detect people and ban them.

I've always had it enabled and I've crashed. Only once, though, and I've put probably well over 40 hours into the game. YMMV.

I suspect all these "bad_module_info" crashes might very well not be the same bug either; my understanding is that the message "bad_module_info has crashed" is just Windows saying that the application crashed in such a way it couldn't get a stack trace useful enough to even point out which module (DLL, .exe, whatever library or application) the crash occurred in, much less at what offset or at which symbol. All crashes regardless of source would get the same error message, is what I'm saying.

You can only see the knife while running without a weapon out, right? Even divorced from the cost, which may be insignificant based on a persons level of disposable income, that’s still a time commitment to open 404 loot crates.

It's probably detectable but they aren't treating AHK in and of itself as bannable. The scripts for the exploit (I assume) just generate keypresses and I don't think you can differentiate an AHK-generated keypress and an actual keypress.

Please bitches. If nothing else I am a gentleman
I like:

Bangalore - because her passive is extremely good for close range fighting and her tactical is extremely good for a lot of different things. I always forget to use her ult

Pathfinder - grapple is huge

Bloodhound - real good but hard to use because you don’t have an escape ability and just because you got the tracking info doesn’t mean you’re going to use it correctly

Blizzard claimed too be able too and there was a round of bans when the Soldier was found to be able to do the same thing by just tapping fire real quick.

I think it's fairly easy for them to figure out if your key presses are perfectly timed each and every time, or whether there is some timing variation to it.

It’s pretty rare I get squadded up with a Bloodhound that isn’t a total potato. Same with Gibraltar. These little kids who play them seem to never use their abilities either. I mean props to you if this doesn’t apply to you. No offense to any DECENT Bloodhound/Gibraltar mains here.

Pathfinders are unpredictable. I gently caress with Mirage lowkey but his ult ability is not great

You can randomize timings in AHK which obfuscates it a bit. That said, the timing window may be narrow enough for the Peacekeeper exploit that it’s not possible without cheating; I don’t know how it works.

AND I SANG 1 OUT OF 9 AINT BAD

Big shock that Apex Legends is fab but Origin remains terrible.

Edit: Early on there were multiple goons complaining of mouselook problems - it turns out that is a known issue with the origin ingame overlay, and turning it off fixes it. The origin overlay related crash bugs also don't surprise me.

This game looks fun how lovely is the cash shop

Let's put it this way:

Currently there is a weapon skin for a supre rare gun that basically only randomly drops from supply packages (or with a low chance in a high tier loot zone?).

That skin is 18 bucks (1800 "Apex points")

Previously people were complaining that skins were priced at 1100 AP when the lowest amount you can buy is 1000 - so you needed to at least spend $20 to buy a skin (with 900 AP to spare, which then again, won't get you anything other than 9 lootboxes with 3 random items)

So I guess they indirectly addressed this by jacking the price of skins to 1800 AP. Phew, crisis averted.

Good news though is you don't really need to spend a single dime on the game. New Legends/Heroes are moderately priced at $7.50 (again, you will need to spend at least $10), but you can earn points ingame to unlock them as well.

When you drop into an area with 3+ or more squads do you get the molasses serrver / game running with what feels like half speed?

Because hoo boy am I getting that.

He can be. Every character can be in my opinion actually. I have won at least 5 games with every character except Bangalore and wraith (99% of the time someone mains those two so I let em)

Every single character has a kit that you WILL find a use for their abilities at some point in the game.

As far as power goes mirage and caustic are equivalent. Fun factor tho..... mirage is endlessly entertaining

Apex is popular but you are massively under-estimating the Sims market and the FIFA Market. I'll give you Anthem because of all the bad press and the weird EA Origin thing but don't sleep on Fifa/Sims
