APEX LEGENDS 100% CPU | LAG/STUTTER

High or maxed out CPU usage (100%), happened from nowhere. I was playing and I started to notice that I had lag the first day, so I quit playing. The second day I started playing without any issues, about 1hr in I started noticing the same problem as the first day. My frames were still as they should be (around 120-144fps) but all registration in the game was extremely off. If I shot someone it would register half a second later, If I'd grapple with Pathfinder the grapple would stutter once or twice and it connects weird and delayed. Same with jumping, sometime's I get half the jumping height, it's really weird and it's really hard to describe. 

Then I noticed in task manager that my CPU was working 100% with Apex being the problem (the same with Origin).

I see posts, videos and other forums talk about this everywhere but very few have the luck of fixing it, I'm still stuck with my favourit game being unplayable.

I've tried:

• Re-installing the game

• Down prioritizing the game for the CPU

• Tinkering with video-settings

Pls halp...

  • @T0toro21 @Zeelmaekers

    I might have come to a solution which is:

    I updated drivers for my motherboard in BIOs and after that I reset the whole BIOs whith pressing the CMOS button on the motherboard and I have an ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard.

    For now Apex runs smooth and as it should run without CPU being on 100% usage!
