Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? N/A
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. It was a place on Olympus, the entire area around me was covered in a flickering purple light, like missing textures. It happens when I move my cursor in the menu as well.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Walking around and aiming normally.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? It happened both matches I played.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't see anything and it led to me dying both times I played because I could not see my enemy,
What should be happening instead? Nothing should be happening, the flickering should not be occuring.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Move your cursor on the menu screen or play a match.

I guess it's because of the new Season 9 update, but there's a majorly game impacting bright purple flickering happening in the lobby and when I'm in a match on the ground, just walking around and aiming. So impacting, that I was killed twice because the purple flickering was like a smokescreen.

  • Hey everyone, I was able to get my Apex Legends to finally quit the flickering. Here's what I did:

    Uninstalled my drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU @ https://www.wagnardsoft.com/)

    Re-installed the newest drivers (21.4.1, although I did see someone say they had the latest drivers and still had the issue :/)

    I hope this works for you guys and you can get back to playing the game. 🙂 Happy hunting everyone!

  • Does anybody know how to fix the purple screen flicker on apex? It's not on my xbox but it's on my pc. It doesn't happen with any games except this one. 

  • I got a Rx 6800 xt here is what i did to get rid of it, turn of radeon boost, enhanced sync, texture optimization. thats what worked for.

    you have to do it for the specific game in the amd settings, if you guys wish to use anti lag go ahead, but hopefully this works.

    It's happening to me rn lol, I think it could be amd's latest driver update, I also have the rx580, it's unbearable

     

  • Is anyone else having this issue from season 17?? It started for me and I've tried everything-uninstalling and reinstalling, updating my drivers and making sure my pc and game are up to date. It's glitching out on most legends with human skin and a large majority of terrain
