I have a 9700K, 2070 super, and asus prime z390 motherboard. 32gigs of ram at 3200 mhz. ever since fight night my game freezes and cpu goes to 100% and i have to bring up task manager and end process. nothing else on computer freezes and no other games have any issues at all. its ONLY apex legends. I have tried everything, reinstalled windows, reinstalled the game, resett all components to stock, tried overclocking again. doesn't matter if it was overclocked or at stock, it still crashed every game. none of the other "fixes" make any difference. however it does NOT crash on my computer with a 9600k and a GTX980. so it seems to be an issue with 9700K and/or 2070 supers (maybe just the RTX series as a whole). im not sure but either way its wild that TONS of people are getting this and EA hasn't fixed it yet. why not just roll back the game to before the update? it was working fine then!

    I had the same issue, as stated also in this thread, till today, I tried repair, reinstalling with Origin, tried the EA Desktop Beta, all didn't help.

    Today, since I had flickering when another program was open, I did a clean uninstall of nvidia Driver and installed the older version 460.89 so far today no crashes (had 21 crashes until yesterday) will keep you updated if any appears, but so far I played about 10 games and no crash, fingers crossed.

    Ryzen 9 3900x

    RTX 2080 Super

    UPDATE: After 20 Games without a crash, I had two today again,... so,...

    I haven't had a crash since the update yesterday and played around 10 games (was at something between 30 and 35 crashes, yeah one really stops counting after a time,...), however I also head to reinstall since EA Desktop* wouldn't allow me to update the game. I am back to Origin now.

    * I tried EA Desktop last week to see if this might help after reinstalling through Origin didn't help
