I am looking for any and all help for this problem. Ever since the new season update (season 21), Everytime I move my mouse in the lobby, in game, or anywhere else, my game freezes completely and does not unfreeze until I stop moving my mouse. I have seen this happening to other people but every single solution I have seen or heard about does not work or fix the issue. My mouse is a Logitech G502 Hero. Hopefully I can fix this issue soon. Thank you.

  • @MattAeroExactly same problem. Game is actually unplayable.

    What I've tried:
    - updating Nvidia drivers
    - updating windows
    - different mouse (my current mouse is wired)
    - different polling rates
    - disabling overlays (steam and nvidia)
    - reinstalling the game
    - Disable second monitor so only 1 monitor running
    - Different resolutions, borderless, windowed
    - Lowering EAS process priority
    - Unplugging everything (USB hubs etc) except my mouse


    Apex is the only game with this problem. Started to experience it after the latest game patch/update. What the hell, EA?

    Yup I’ve tried the exact same things. Still no word or any news on if this issue has a solution or will be fixed. Gave up on the game for right now. Every update they always break something lmao. 

  • unplayable after recent upheaval update
    frame rate drops to 10 fps when moving mouse. reduced polling rate to 125, improved the frame drop to 80fps (still very low) but now stutters like crazy (feels like sub 40fps).

    i have a logitech g403 hero. (also have a corsair scimitar with the same problem, but i do not really use it for apex)

    system: gigabyte 3060ti, i7-9700K, msi z390 gaming plus.
