thanks god it's not just me.
I was cleaning from dust and changing the CPU paste yesterday and today is this strange behaviour.
btw first monitor is just freezing with Apex screen, and second one which connected to the iGPU shows strange artifacts like checkboard pattern and experiencing flickering.
also the game trying to load shaders after this event and time to time crushes without any error in process of loading.
at least your computer is still funtioning. our computer just frozed and needed to restart
no, it's not. it completely freezes my system.
just telling that after PC restart it starts to load shaders all over again, and it also causing complete system freeze time to time (even without entering the match).
my apex is no longer freeze right now. the only thing i change right now is turn off the wifi on my pc. only ethernet works now
and i monitor the gpu usage on my task manager as well. it stays around 85% and it's pretty normal. it used to be around 90-99
if u use wallpaper engine u can try to add rules when opening apex to stop dynamic wallpaper from running.
i still thinks that's their update's fault but i can't figure out what cause it. hopefully my solution can help u. have a great day! :)
