Apex Crashing to Desktop with no error
I am constantly crashing to desktop with no error from Apex, Steam or windows. Game crashes are random for example it could be a few matches or after an hour or two.
Specs
CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D
GPU: RTX 5080
RAM: 32 G DDR5
OS: currently windows 10 after downgrading from windows 11
I tried the following on both windows 10 and windows 11:
- verify integrity of game files on Steam
- uninstall Apex multiple times
- Allowed Apex and Easy Anti Cheat through antivirus and firewall
- Tried newest and older versions of Nvidia drivers for 5000 Series
- Tried different Bios versions for motherboard
- Updated drivers for chipset
- Ran Apex and EAC as administrator
- Disabled full screen optimizations
- Set texture streaming budget to none.
Nvidia GPU Drivers I tried:
572.83
562.02
576.28
574.40
576.52
572.47
580.88
If someone can help that would be appreciated. Not sure what else to try, I just want to play. Note, this does not happen to other games; just Apex.
I could not find any crash logs or messages after crashing to desktop. I just restart and try to connect back to existing match.
I did check event viewer and saw some messages. See below. I check event viewer after every crash and most of the time it does not show an error.

Any ideas? Thanks!
