Apex Legends will get a patch next week to fix audio issues
A new patch is inbound for Apex Legends early next week, and it’s full of fixes for various audio issues players have been reporting. The patch will reportedly make the game’s audio engine 30% more CPU efficient, which will help reduce the frequency of sound distortion and dropout.
Respawn community manager Jay Frechette posted the patch notes to the Apex Legends subreddit Friday. As mentioned above, it’s heavy on improvements to sound, and it makes several quality of life changes to menu volume and ambient effects. The volume for sounds in the character select screen through the drop sequence will be reduced, and the ambient effect of Wraith’s kunai knife will be lowered as well, to improve things for players who are sensitive to that sound. Respawn says it may remove that effect altogether if it still proves bothersome to those players.
For PC users, the patch will also include a workaround for an issue Respawn has identified with Intel CPUs. Under certain circumstances, Intel CPUs aren’t correctly executing a function and crashing, and thanks to help from the PC player community, Respawn says it’s found that lowering the clock speed - even for non-overclocked setups - solves this issue. Respawn says it has notified Intel about the problem, but for now they’re including a workaround in the upcoming patch.
