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_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. 🤣
- 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
@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. - 5 years ago@Nightstick24 I play on London / Frankfurt servers, through different ISPs for each PC. But match servers are not the same as the lobby servers.
I do get missing teammates a lot and also shot many standing still enemies in the last few days, so there is a lot of crashing and freezing around me. I'm sure it's unplayable for most of them, that's why I'm trying to find out why it doesn't happen to me. Maybe I did something that prevents the issue from happening, maybe I'm not doing the things that trigger it, maybe my configs are not in the categories with a high risk of crashing ...
