Last week, EA’s battle royale game “Apex Legends” launched an awakening collection event. In this event, players can obtain the legendary Valkyrie’s rare heirloom melee weapon by purchasing and collecting a specified number of skins and accessories.
However, the update caused an unexpected problem: only for Xbox console players, the entire console will become laggy when playing "Apex Legends". Not only in "Apex", Xbox console users will also experience sluggish controller input when playing other games later.
Restarting the host seems to make the lag disappear, but the lag still exists after starting the game. Some players have also found their own solution: rolling back the firmware of the Xbox wireless controller can also temporarily solve the problem, but the problem is that these are not long-term solutions.
Xbox Series X console users reported this issue the most, and the most common issue was with the Elite controller.
's official response to the issue last week said only that "the team is investigating." Apart from this, EA, Respawn Studios and Microsoft have not made any other response to this issue so far.
For players with second-generation Elite controllers, rolling back the firmware to the Xbox One version can resolve the issue. Other players have also tried using wired connections. Although this can solve the problem of input loss, the lag and delay are still not solved.
