Apex Legends Netcode

[J4MES OX4D 10,034]

Pretty surprising considering how smooth the game feels. The combat does feel a bit off at times but I originally put that down to the pace, opponents armour and my bad aim but it's nice to see the game thoroughly tested and the netcode issues laid out. Unlike Blackout, I don't think we've been deliberately shafted with cheap low quality servers but Apex does need a lot of improvements especially when there already so many other factors at play that affect combat.

I was literally just about to put up a post about this as well!

 

It's definitely not good. And explains why sometimes my shots just don't register. I have faith in Respawn as TitanFall ran superbly.

I saw this on Reddit and was surprised. I’ve been bragging to folks about how good the netcode feels.

I've not felt like i've had an issue. Clearly not showing some specific variables such as ping available to the player, it removes the conversation that a player can hang to if they die to soething that feels unfair. Apart from one game where our running kind of got trapped, the game itself felt like it ran perfectly.

It definitely doesn't run perfectly. I've had quite a few instances where some of my bullets are clearly not registering at all. But it still runs better than Blackout 😂

If you see Lee aim you'll understand why he doesn't notice anything wrong.

That is the most truth you've ever written 😂

 

Tbh, after the first week of greatness I had, the whole weekend I got my butt handed to every time.

 

 

I didn't want to hide behind some netcode problem but if you think I should be, that works for me

Pretty much. The smoothness is a bit of a deception and netcode quality is kind of masked among things like the armor and general pace of the combat. Until you dissect the technical data; we don't get a clear picture of how it truly runs. 

 

It's also fairly noticeable on PC because there is no aim assist as a further handicap so accuracy is essential.
