Apex: Input latency for the first 10min of the game. Every time I restart my PC.

Hi, I need help for this technical issue I'm experiencing on Apex Legends : Every time my PC restarts my game will experience input latency for at least 10min until the latency decreases and the game...

    Problem Solved.

    There was 2 technical issues overlapping.

    Mouse movement and reactivity solution:

    • Setting "Run this program as an administrator" for origin and r5apex.exe 
    • Disabling some services on start up
    • Setting CPU priority class to 6 for r5apex.exe

    Delay when landing solution:

    • Adding command line arguments in origin launcher : +fps_max (#my average fps) -forcenovsync  (My GPU was generating more fps than my CPU could handle. The lags were a result of the CPU throttling in order to reduce it's temperature; later on I changed the thermal paste of my CPU and all problem solved !)

Hey @emrold. 

It's definitely weird that it happens so consistently every time you start up the game. Is it only happening when you're actually in a match? Are you noticing any sort of input delay when you're navigating the menus right after starting it up?

@EA_Kent 

So yes it only happens when I'm in a match. The weird part is that the Training and Fire Range run very smoothly. 

There is zero input delay in the menus. The legend selection works fine too. The input delay starts once the map has loaded.

    Hmm, gotcha. When you've got a chance can you try running through the basic connection troubleshooting steps over at the EA Help website to see if that makes a difference at all? I'd also recommend checking out the PC-specific steps there as well. 

    Let me know if it keeps happening afterward.

      Thanks for those recommendations @EA_Kent .

      The problem still exist.

      For further details I now realize that the delay happens when I get close to landing. When mid air the keys are responsive. But once I touch the ground the delays begin.

      I followed these steps :

      • "Run this Program as an administrator" on both origin and r5apex.exe
      • DNS Flush
      • Disabling services for a Clean Boot
      • Opening ports and restart router
      • Disabled IPv6
      • UPnP was already enabled
      • NAT wasn't strict
      • Changed DNS to 1.1.1.1 and alternative to 1.0.0.1
      • The UOTrace gave good result if I'm correct
