This is why im so upset. I normally never crash but ever since they pushed this "Fix to stability and the ring" its nearly at times unplayable.
Hard crashing may be a problem for drivers. The latest Nvidia Geforce driver rolled out on January 7. If you already have it, try rolling back to a previous version, if you don't have the latest, update it and see if the issues still occur. Of course, that's if you have an Nvidia card. I'm also assuming that most PC streamers have high end gaming PCs running the latest generation of Nvidia cards.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@DoYaSeeMe This error is most certainly not on my end. Its not my drivers. This is the game issues. If it was my drivers then id be the only one and not have loads of people with same problem. Loads of people on stream crashing for same reasons. This would mean a lot of people thousands would have the wrong drivers also. When we are set up no different then we was 4 days ago. This is not on our end whats so ever. Ive not updated anything windows-drivers nothing i have my stuff set where i manually have to do it myself. I would easily be able to see it on my end if it was a issue with me. Its happening to all my friends to me Hayhor was even partied with me and it happened this is not in our heads.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@DoYaSeeMe Must be while a lot of us are not. I feel as if you keep implying that these errors are on thousands of users end?

@Daze623Same error that many many have posted about and streams showing. We are in game everything is fine. Go to kill someone (random times never back to back) you shoot them boom client completely freezes. At times completely crashes the lobby. Yall know me i hardly ever complain about the game i defend them more then i can think to fathom.
But this is beyond being able to ignore. Another bug is when we finish match it completely removes us from party back to server select. Had i been only one with same exact issues i would not be saying anything. But when it happens to me hundreds of streamers 50+ posts on these very forums and thousands on reddit and other social media sites its not a me thing.
These use to never effect me im one the lucky ones who would never crash at all. Ever since they pushed their fix its been hell for me. Which is why i posted. In case some missed it even a lot pro streamers have same exact experience as i do. - E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+
For anyone who wants to "Question" my post i suggest doing research at the loads of streamers experiencing it on stream and or google searching will yield loads of results verse questioning someone who is just doing what many many others have done. Made a post about the horrible crash rate inside game. Its easy for someone to say well im not crashing so its got be on your end. Nope yall are the lucky ones. Meanwhile myself and a lot more people are experiencing these crashes.
Ive repaired the game did not fix. Ive not updated drivers whats so ever so nothing on my end at all has changed other then patching the games "Fix"
- 5 years ago@E9ine_AC on PS4 me and my friends did not get a single crash but we had about 4 or 5 instances that the server kicked us out and we had to reload. I don't get why the developers are not prioritizing these first.
- 5 years ago@E9ine_AC Not really. A firmware or driver update causing issues is not something new, has happened before with many games and other apps. That's not game devs' nor clients' fault. Things are rarely black or white and picking a side is never a solution.
Anyway, at this moment it 's really unclear what the scale of the issue is, on whose side it is, what is causing it, how it can be reproduced, etc.. Too many unknowns to call for a revert, as there are chances for the crashes to still happen after that. Personally, I'd try everything I can do on my side to increase the stability, in hope to reduce the frequency of crashes until the proper fix / revert gets rolled out. Stuff like lowering settings, updating to the latest drivers or rolling back most recent updates, avoid certain places or combinations in game if those appear to trigger the problem most frequently, etc.. - 5 years ago@Cheese9Man What's interesting is that Staycation had freezes as well, and he's on PS5. It seems to be the newer, high end devices getting the crashes.
Also, you're wrong about devs not prioritizing the crashes. These are always the first in line, but that doesn't mean the problems are even easy to find, let alone fix. When something crashes with an error code, it helps a lot, because usually that error code rules out many other potential causes. Freezes are a pain, there's no clue where the problem occurs, and that might not even be in the game's source code. - E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@DoYaSeeMe Problem is i dont have newer higher end. It is not a firmware it literally is the game. Not quite sure how you a computer person can be so blind to it. lmao It didnt happen to us until last patch literally. So how can it be firmware or anything else if it only happened after a patch... That no other game freezes our stuff at all only apex.

@E9ine_ACAs I said before, there was an Nvidia driver update rolled out a few days ago. There are a lot of players that use Geforce cards, specifically 20 and 30 series, so it's not a stretch to have thousands of people affected if the latest drivers are buggy.
Usually operating systems force apps that freeze to close and throw some errors. Drivers have a deeper level access, so if they have issues, they can crash or freeze the system (by corrupting the registry, overheating, etc.). That's where we, the "computer people" look at first when we see freezes.
Sorry if I seem blind to you. I kind of am blind, since I don't get any crashes on my side. - 5 years ago@DoYaSeeMe You appear blind to most issues that everyone else has. 🤣
- 5 years ago@DoYaSeeMe Haven't updated my Nvidia drivers, Windows from last one month and still getting freezes after the update. So it's not driver problem on my end.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@apostolateofDOOM I am saying... I told him already no updates whats so ever has been pushed on my machine. I manually have to update my machine hardware myself. Yet he keeps talking about update this update that. Yet he keeps ignoring the fact that even those on this post back my claims up as well as many other posts and such. I am not sure whats going on with him. lol
- 5 years ago@apostolateofDOOM It's as they say, "devs don't have a clue" :P
Or maybe I know how to stay out of trouble. My PC hasn't crashed in years, I even get the feeling that Cyberpunk 2077 will run without a glitch on it (may never know if it indeed does, the shooting experience in that game looks horrendous). Also, the decades of "pc person" and development experience really change the perspective, I've learned to never take things for granted, to lower or have no expectations and do my own research before judging. - 5 years ago@BaldWraithSimp On my side, there were no issues before or after the driver update, but I own an older generation videocard, GTX1070. Simple thing to try on your side is to update to the latest drivers, see if freezes still happen.

@DoYaSeeMe Development and software aren't my forte.. All i can base my opinion on is personal experience and compare it with the way other developers have dealt with their issues and that's where Respawn majorly lacks in comparison to other developers and still continues to do so. Why it baffles me when you, as a dev, defend them so much when even others in the industry say they could be doing a much better job in some aspects or you deny/dismiss issues that basically everyone has at points of instability over the past 2 years.
You're like an undercover damage control agent. 😛
Everyone treats Apex like it's a start up company that's learning on the go and while Respawn might suggest that being the case with a live service, that's not entirely true.. They might have a ''complex environment'' to work with but most ''content'' being skins with a lot of assets being imported and evidently copy/pasted when constructing the maps it comes to us as if it's a skeleton crew mainly focused on events and skins that's fudged together in time constraints rather than a quality game experience by a brand new AAA studio + all the funding that followed, dedicated to just Apex, apparently.
I have no expectations so not to be disappointed but i set a high bar of what i (even in my very limited knowledge of game development) know is possible. Especially when i see them making the same mistakes over and over that they had ample feedback on but chose to repeatedly ignore.
CP77 looks sexy on max settings but it's got Metal Gear Solid? kind of optional elements in it with all the sneaking/hacking, combined with all the other issues you would expect from a Bethesda game. Definitely overhyped and doesn't satisfy the reptilian part of my brain but worth the play i guess.. Still only a quarter of the way through + side missions as i haven't had time. Just waiting to see what the future has in store for it DLC/multiplayer.
- 5 years ago@DoYaSeeMe I use a Ryzen 7 processor and AMD graphics card with no updates and I just started to experience crashes like crazy with this last patch. So I don't think it's exclusively an Nvidia issue. Definitely seems like an Apex issue as that's the only thing that's changed, for me at least.
- 5 years ago@Nightstick24 I notice Airborne quick scope with snipers make my apex crash
- 5 years ago@Nightstick24 One of the PCs I play on specs AMD as well, Ryzen 7 3700X CPU with Radeon RX 570 graphics card. What's interesting to me is that the game started feeling better on this PC since the LTM started, no crashes and no errors so far. My other PC is Intel, an older I7 6700K with Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics, it felt more unstable since the update, but got a tiny bit smoother, less laggy on average and without notable issues since I updated to the latest Geforce game ready drivers. I only had one match throwing me back to the lobby and another instance where I was in the lobby and got disconnected with a game logic error, but the game itself didn't freeze or crash since that dreadful freeze in legend selection screen bug we had around Season 2 or so.
- 5 years ago@DoYaSeeMe What servers do you play on generally? Maybe it's a server issue?
I've finally had one game where my entire team made it to the end without anyone crashing, but it's been over 20 games today with someone crashing out at least once. Several of which my entire team crashed out except me.
A friend of mine crashed out 10 games in a row before he quit, randomly part of the way through - sometimes looting others shooting or just running somewhere.
It's at the point where it's unplayable for some people. I can't even imagine how horrific ranked would be, I'd probably cry trying it atm.
