Have you ever flexed so hard in a game you made it crash? Thatâs apparently a dream coming true for Apex Legends players, where performing Epic animated poses is breaking the game. Respawn is asking players of the battle royale shooter to stop using them.
The studio tweeted about the bug last week, explaining that animated poses are crashing the game. A fix is coming ânext week,â though thereâs no more specific date for when it will arrive. For the time being, Respawn Entertainment is urging players to unequip Epic poses until the patch is applied.
Weâve just published this message in-game to help cut down on crashes called by animated poses. Tell your friends!
A full fix is scheduled for next week. pic.twitter.com/mXguAzBvN3

Epic poses are a facet of the battle royaleâs player cards, identifications you use to express your unique style in-game. These rarer cosmetics feature a variety of animations, like dancing, jumping, or running. However, right now equipping them appears to throw the game off-balance, resulting in a crash.

In clarifying the issue, a Respawn technical game designerâunder the Reddit username RobotHavGunsâsaid thereâs âno obvious reasonâ why Epic poses are breaking the game. They said it shouldnât happen, but acknowledge that it is, and the best solution in the short term is to revert back to non-animated poses. Once a fix has been implemented, you can pose to your heartâs content.
This bug is just the latest issue plaguing the popular battle royale shooter. The game was kinda busted for much of the latter half of September due torepeated server disconnections tied to a recent patch. August sawconsole and PC players beefing over the removal of tap staffing. And in July, Apex Legends washacked by disgruntled fans pissed about Titanfall cheaters. It makes me wonder if this game will ever catch a breakâŠ
So, until a fix comes through, the best advice Respawnâs got: stop flexing.
