Apex is currently getting a wave of players with the problem

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

Apex is currently getting a wave of players with the problem

Post by Inputlagguy » 11 Aug 2026, 11:55

Title says it all. This last update has tons of ppl on Reddit and twitter saying they feel the floaty mouse and delay etc. They have all the same exact symptoms

Same thing happened for me in season 9 or 10 after and never went away.

It only happens after updates. Makes absolutely no sense. Same thing for rocket league players (HCB heavy car bug) it mostly starts for everyone after an update there as well.

There’s just no way it’s electricity related with this amount of people getting the issue every single new season.

Maybe some sort of cloud data issue? I’m just posting this for info or maybe to spark some ideas. Idk anymore

This happened to my ps5 on the first day of season 17. My sens and movement felt off, I wasn’t able to pubstomp anymore.

They just talk about Apex and nothing else, so why would it be the same?

They have no idea what’s happening. Only we do because we’ve been dealing with this for years. This is just the beginning for them.

They think it’s just apex still. Give it some time let them keep trying to game and they’ll notice its every single game they play now.

I have posts i put up myself on Reddit 3-4 years old that are identical to these people’s. There’s no fix coming, these posts aren’t just an apex problem. This is literally our bug

It’s not electricity, it’s not EMI, it’s not radio interference. IT’S THE CHIPSET, IT’S THE BODY, IT’S THE INTERNET.
