Re: apex legends unstable fps, NEED HELP..!!!

Hey @THE_KALAAKAAR 

That doesn't sound like good gaming experience.
Before we can troubleshoot, I need a bit more information 🙂

Could you attach a dxdiag to your post, this provides me with a bit more information about your system.
Also, I noticed your post on my troubleshooting post, what steps did you already try of my guide?

Let me know!

    I have tried the following fixes:-

    1.deleted anti cheat and repaired

    2.reinstalled graphics driver using ddu

    3.clean boot

    4.verifying system files through DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and sfc but sfc scan stopped at 71%  says cant be completed

    5.locking fps at 144 in advanced launch option

    game was running fine until 3-4 days ago and suddenly it happened

    i also have gameplay clip showing the fps drops and ups but not sure how to upload it as mp4 is unsupported.

    I've got 600+ hours in the game too.

    I got 90+ FPS most of the time in game.

    Now it drops as low as 50 every time when I look towards the middle of the map, towards the area of the fallen Skull Town. 

    I tried to lower the settings further, it does not matter, I turn everything to lowest except textures and texture filtering, does not matter.

    It does not matter wether there are objects/anything/walls blocking your view, it drops. You would think that when there are huge objects blocking your view towards Skull Town area it would not affect you performance because they don't have to be rendered, but somehow it does affect. Weird.

    For example, land in Watertreatment, and look towards Repulsor, 100+ FPS. I turn to the direction of the now destructed Skulltown, it drops sometimes even till the 50s.

    Last week I played I did not have this issue. Today I wanted to play and the game had an update. I don't think that its a coincidence. When season 5 started the game was smoother than ever, now the drops and lag in some areas of the map are so bad they are borderline unplayable.

    Observing my OSD statistics, I think there is something going on in around the old skull town area/air field that puts a huge strain on our CPUs.

    Please fix it or just revert what you did in the recent mini patch. I just bought the Bloodhound+Lifeline edition on sale before jumping into a game. If I'd have known that the last update hurt performance this much...

    If you check reddit there are several threads that are made about the topic recenlty but nobody upvotes them. I don't understand why this issue have not blown up yet. Do people really don't care that the game can no longer be played at stable 100+ FPS? It is not only me that mentions that they have this since the last mini patch, so I am not seeing things.

    Hello @Zeelmaekers !

    Thank you for trying to help us as an independent in your free time. I tried this yesterday after you linked it to us but I did not have the time to write here about it. Unfortunately this did not solve the issue for me. Worlds Edge now is included in the rotation, I have similarly bad experience on that map despite last season everything being smooth except the central areas near the rupture, but that's a different issue.

  • Same issue bro. Did u solve the problem or not sir ?
