Why Is Apex Legends in Slow Motion?

Slow-mo lobbies are back in Apex Legends Season 10
As Apex's servers run at 20Hz, it means they simulate the world state once every 50ms. If this process takes more than 50ms consistently, it will slow down the game so the server can finish the simulation, creating a slow-mo match.

How do I fix slow motion on Apex Legends?

Once you've been downed, a teammate will have to revive you to fix the slow movement bug. If you've been revived and the bug still persists, you'll have to take it one step further and fully kill your character. Once eliminated, have your teammate bring you back into the game at a respawn beacon.

What is the reason for slow motion?

Slow motion is used widely in action films for dramatic effect, as well as the famous bullet-dodging effect, popularized by The Matrix. Formally, this effect is referred to as speed ramping and is a process whereby the capture frame rate of the camera changes over time.
