Tweaking Windows OS

If  you are playing in Windows 10, you can use the registry editor to set the default cpu cycles.

Run the regedit and follow this path;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\r5apex.exe\PerfOptions

Create the following variable;

Name: CpuPriorityClass
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 3

Once you add this to your registry, the process will start with "Above Normal" priority.  Values are 0 = Low, 1 = Below Normal, 2 = Normal, 3 = Above Normal, 4 = High, 5 = Real Time.  Never set to Real Time as it is likely to lock up the PC.  Real Time is basically telling the kernel to ignore everything else until the game exits.  Apex is dependent on the other Windows programs getting some attention.

Tweaking Linux OS

If you are using Linux OS, you can set the priority using nice and renice commands. The highest attention is -20 and the least is 19. 

The nice command line is used to start the app, while the renice command is dynamic while the application is running.

I would use the dynamic renice command once the program is up and running. (e.g. # renice -n -10 -u r5apex.exe) the default niceness for this game is zero.

on rare occasion I still play it but generally speaking im not into it anymore for a number of reasons, mostly related to the exploitive nature of EA  so I  won't spend any time going through the config files anymore as this was an extremely time consuming thing, especially if  respawn/EA  does not care about helping out ... 

If you have any specific questions I might awnser for you feel free to pm them and if i can awnser them i will 🙂

Well, it’s already 2024 and Apex still has a terribly meager set of settings. This is a real shame for Respawn and EA! Many games have detailed graphics settings, allowing players to customize their game for a more optimized experience. For example, in this game a lot of FPS is taken away by the shadow settings. Absolutely all games have the ability to disable the display of shadows so that the game runs more stable on a weak PC/Laptop. EVERY GAME HAS THIS SETTING. In every... except Apex Legends. This is disgusting. Also, there is still no “ADS without FOV” setting or at least a separate FOV adjustment in ADS. For example, I have a FOV setting of 110, like all other players. But in ADS I DO NOT need FOV 110. I would like to play at a low FOV in ADS. Any self-respecting first-person shooter has this setting. Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. But not Apex Legends. Apex Legends doesn't care what the player wants. Basic ineffective video settings and a pathetic set of gameplay settings, oh yeah. This is how Apex Legends takes care of the player's experience. At the present time, Respawn is a disgrace in the game development industry precisely because of its disregard for players. The last tournament won't let lie. Several PRO players had cheats appearing on their PC remotely without their knowledge. Hackers do terrible things to the game and get away with it. It's a real shame. It really hurts me to see what's happening to the game, because I've been playing it since release. The game developer treats us, the community, like trash. But who will they be without us when all the players get tired of enduring and leave?
