Respawn has released the first update for its free to play battle royale game, Apex Legends. According to the release notes, this patch brings various improvements and tweaks to UI, and fixes an exploit where players could keep duplicating items in their inventory.

Furthermore, this patch addresses a number of stability and performance issues, as well as a number bugs with map geo like holes you could fall through and areas that players could get stuck in plus a bunch of other polish issues.

It’s also worth noting that this first update addresses a number of client and server stability issues, and fixes an issue where players would get a gray screen in lobby when connecting for the first time and an issue where your friends list showed all your friends as offline and unable to party.

As always, this patch will be auto-downloaded from Origin the next time you launch its client and you can find its complete changelog below.
