How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? After maybe 5 minutes in any map PC crash without BSOD, sound stuck in eternal loop like 200ms loop doing triiiiiiiiiiiiii sound. I chat with other players on HisWatsson twitch chat and some players has similar PC crash too.
What should be happening instead? No crash
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Is 100% last update fault form 10.05.2024 because I played some games before that small update and all work without crashes.
As additional information I can tell that Apex even after 4minutes in Firing Rage is using my disk around 180MB/s in task manager. Is not normal behavior.
I found some workaround my problem. Problem is not LAN connection but I think network adapter driver in my case WiFi is causing PC crash. After disabling WiFi card, game is not crashing after that 5-7 minutes. Its working great now.
I have theory what happening.
Game will crashing your PC in 5-7 minutes regardless what you are doing. I tested this crash when playing game or just waited for crash in title screen.
I think Apex or EasyAntiCheat is doing verification for Apex files in runtime is why disk is yielded near 200MB/s constant 5-7 minutes everytime when Apex start. After big files I think Apex or EAC is checking running drivers, network adapters for some suspicious drivers, doing tests, giving tasks or checking driver certification. And if driver dont pass test or cant do task then PC crash because its happening in System.exe process.
Why I think game is doing verification but not loading assets. Because RAM and VRAM usage does not rising. Now I know why game FPS is not smooth in first 5-7 minutes after launch.
Please report it to Devs so they get value information and can debug that stuff and maybe optimizing game files verification process.
