Eli Becht

Respawn dropped an Apex Legends patch on July 16 that fixes a variety of bugs, exploits, and crashes that have been affecting the game across all platforms.

The developers announced a client patch for Apex Legends was rolling out for all platforms that target a plethora of issues that players have been complaining about.

One thing, in particular, that wasn’t addressed, by name at least, is the Code Leaf error that has been plaguing the game since Season 2 launched.

A client update came through on July 16.

No new content is coming to the game with this patch but instead, it’s only targeting persistent problems with how the game runs for players.
