Heads up, legends. We've been rolling out some changes to @PlayApex to better protect the game's competitive integrity. We are making changes to remove automated strafing on controller and will also be making changes to prevent the chaining of cfg files via the +exec command during game time. In other words, we are disabling the ability to use some configs that would allow for a greater range of movement than is usually possible within the game. We want to be clear: the use of third-party tools, hardware, firmware, or software that automates game mechanics for a competitive edge over other Apex players is considered cheating and is unacceptable. As such, we will continue to evaluate potential exploits and take further action as needed.

On July 10th, as part of a substantial Anti-Cheat effort, we pushed changes that restricted unintended manipulation of RC Filters and other aim assist exploits. This change resulted in minor behavioral differences to aim assist, particularly at long range. Since the change, our data indicates a ~2-4% reduction in accuracy on controllers, a portion of which is attributed to the prevention of players using the exploits to manipulate aim assist. We abstained from sharing this information initially as we didn't want to show our hand too much to cheaters. We are now in a place where we feel secure enough to share. We believe these Anti-Cheat changes are necessary for the holistic, long-term health of the game. We'll continue to monitor the Anti-Cheat landscape to protect the competitive integrity of Apex Legends and encourage you to revisit your aim assist settings.

✅FIXED: - We resolved an issue where players were able to exploit Axle's movement resulting in an indefinite slide ⚠️INVESTIGATING: - We are temporarily disabling voice comms for players on Xbox systems to investigate their contribution to a game crash. Xbox players will not be able to hear or speak to other players, regardless of platform. - We are also investigating a recent issue resulting in FPS drops, likely tied to specific CPUs. We will provide updates as they become available to us!
