Re: APEX LEGENDS 100% CPU | LAG/STUTTER

@T0toro21 @Zeelmaekers

I might have come to a solution which is:

I updated drivers for my motherboard in BIOs and after that I reset the whole BIOs whith pressing the CMOS button on the motherboard and I have an ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard.

For now Apex runs smooth and as it should run without CPU being on 100% usage!

    I am using Gigabyte motherboard, what do you mean updating drivers for motherboard? My pc is fully updated through windows update. Should I update Bios too? Please help

    @N🤭rg_topmodeLLBut how do you update motherboard via BIOs? I'm not a PC master unfortunately..

    EDIT: update my BIOS to latest version, yet still CPU usage jumps up to 100%.. It must be something inside the game, only Apex does that, even GTA5 isn't using that much..

    I am also experiencing this sudden increase in CPU usage to 100 starting from yesterday and I have done everything in this thread but to no avail it keeps coming back.

    @MeGalliumm Check if you have windows update to do, check graphics drivers if they're up to date. Honestly, I would NEVER expect win update to help, but I did it yesterday and after two weeks of struggling I can now play without any issues, also had some small Framework update in WIN today, but idk if did any difference. Believe me, try and see if you have any updates to do.

    I'm done updating my windows, the CPU usage is back to normal and the stutter is gone. I hope it stays like this, thank you.
