Apex Legends August 6 Update Restores Accolades and Fixes Ranked Screens

A quick hotfix for Apex Legends re-enables Accolades notifications, fixes audio muting issues, restores the Ranked Distribution screen, and cleans up Caustic UI elements.

Respawn Entertainment has rolled out a targeted update for Apex Legends to address specific notification, UI, and matchmaking screen issues.

Accolades and Audio Fixes

Accolades notifications have been fixed and turned back on. Additionally, a bug where the "Accolades Display" setting failed to mute Accolade audio properly when set to compact instead of full has been resolved, ensuring compact mode now mutes notifications correctly.

Matchmaking and Legend UI Corrections

The update resolves an issue where the Ranked Distribution screen failed to display prior to Battle Royale matches. For Caustic players, extraneous UI elements tied to his passive ability "Field Research" in Wildcard have been removed.

Why this patch matters

This hotfix restores missing pre-match screens and fixes lingering UI and audio bugs tied to recent feature updates.
