Apex Keeps Crashing no error, screen locked up forever, not even task manager

Most infuriating error.

Game keeps freezing, cant tab out, cant ctrl alt del to task manager, because the frozen screen is unremovable and tops everything, and wont go away.
PC did not hang or froze up, its working fine, as I can still see mouse and the alt-tab preview, but nothing ever gets front view (and the second monitor shows me everything is fine). So im stuck in a frozen game screen that i cant get out of.

Only solution is to reset the whole freking computer. No way around it.

Happening EVERY SESSION.

Great game, but broken.

    Gave it another try:
    2 matches without any crashes.

    Third game....last 2 squads...

    Screen locked up, game froze. cant alt tab, cant use task manager, frozen screen is locked up in front of everything. cant do ANYTHING.
    Signing out of windows, forcing the frozen game to finally shut down. Log back in.

    Thats insane. It literally BREAKS your WHOLE computer session.

  • Mine loads to the main menu then crashes like yours, the most ive made it to is champ select since the new update, before the patch it use to ruin at a healthy 100 fps for a mid tier pc

    The game is really not broken.. I had many problems and now it runs stable after changing stuff on my pc.. Btw the game is just out and will get more stable in time.. Ofcourse it wont for those who dont have their pc configured properly..Try and see if some background app is causing the crash and also if you have intel hd graphics enabled disable it in the bios.. lower vram settings a bit.. run windowed mode some thing you can try
  • Incorrect sir. This game is not "just out" and has had recurring issues with video drivers and crashes since day 1. I am having this same issue with an rtx card

  • Same problem! RTX 3060 TI. I've just find a way to exit game. I've opened CMD and find the task name for this game. So opened CMD and type: tskill r5apex.exe and press enter (even if you aren't seeing a thing, it must just have CMD as main screen). This is the only way I could close this app. Greetings from Brazil!

  • Same issue on 1080ti! Only started recently! I’ve got multiple screens so can start task manager but unable to interact with it as it completely locks my desktop:
