Re: 1 CPU core gets stuck at 100% after playing Apex for a while

It has nothing to do with your system its games fault, after one game it forces my 1 core to work on 100% it gets stuck, even after I turn off game and theres no proccess in task manager core still works 100% and steam thinks that game is still running. My 3 friends with different CPU's and systems in general has same issue. Please fix as game is unplayable coz of this.

  • @DanLongman Also has this issue since four days ago. After tried serval methods, like updating BIOS/Graphic Driver/Intel ME/Windows; forcing game using DX12, nothing changed and issue happens after game start 5-10 minutes. Currently I have gived up playing.

    Exact same behaviour on my system, I have a 5800x for a cpu but it is also the second thread that is stuck at 100% and my CPU temp skyrockets as well.

    Same issue with not being able to kill the apex process either. 

    It is ridicilious, 

    but it is happening on other games that use Easy anti cheat, like Paladins and Lost Ark (same issues and symptoms those game tasks can't be closed and second thread stuck at 100%)

    I really hope it is fixed soon!
