Apex Legends – June 20 PC Client Update

This week, the Respawn team released a new PC client patch. Community Manager Jay Frechette (Jayfresh_Respawn) took to the Apex Legends subreddit to discuss the changes with the community. Check out all the details in his own words below, or head over to the official Reddit post and jump into the conversation.

Hey friends,

We have a client patch for PC only that is going live this morning to address a few issues, detailed below.

• Data center improvements will make the list easier to understand and use.
  • The list will be sorted by ping by default.
  • The selected data center will be highlighted in orange.
    • Focused/hovered data centers will still be highlighted in grey.
  • Right clicking a data center will no longer make it appear selected.
    • Previously, right clicking wouldn't select the data center but would still highlight the selection, which could be confusing.
  • Clients will now send user input to the server at a higher rate.
  • Code: Leaf error
    • We still have some work to do to nail down what is causing this error. In this patch, we’re adding more telemetry to help us identify specifically how this error is being caused. You may start to get a code:net error instead of code:leaf. That is intended and part of the telemetry we added. We’ll continue to investigate this issue and it remains a priority.

Why only PC? We want to test these changes before putting them out on all platforms. We’ll be continuing to monitor data and player feedback. If we see improvement with these changes, we’ll roll them out for PS4 and Xbox One with the launch of Season 2.
