In the past, we haven’t often talked publicly about servers, netcode, or online infrastructure for Apex Legends, and today we want to begin to change that. Hello, I’m lead engineer on Apex Legends, and today I want to offer you a bit of insight into the online infrastructure that supports Apex Legends. “ Apex runs on a highly customized Source engine that was built to expand the loading distance for long distance views and such,” noted redditor JabroniSn0w.What Makes Apex Tick: A Developer Deep Dive into Servers and Netcode Apex Legends lead engineer Ricklesauceur explores common online issues that players face, their causes, and our efforts to address them. “Close up enemy model (is it even there?)” they wrote, over a pixelated smudge that doesn’t resemble anything important at a distance.

“I can excuse bad graphics, but on Switch, the game feels awful to play,” wrote one player, in the Switch subreddit on Wednesday afternoon. They’re disappointed in the game’s performance, and they say cross-platform play against users on higher-performance systems leaves them at a huge disadvantage. Apex Legends launched Tuesday on Nintendo Switch, and early reactions to the battle royale game from fans are … not good.
