Community ManagerHi @OwerGrowen,
Could you try the recommended workaround from @Zeelmaekers TS guide (see here) for this issue:
@Zeelmaekers wrote:Apex Freezing and showing 100% CPU usage in Task Manager.
Players are experiencing Apex Legends freezing and noticing Apex Legends is utilizing 100% of the CPU.
This issue looks only to be related so certain CPUs (I5-I7-I9) and some Ryzen Processors.Recommended Workaround:
Launch Apex Legends and alt-tab out to the game.
Open task manager, find Apex Legends, right-click and select Go to details.
Select r5Apex.exe and right-click and click set Affinity, uncheck <all processors> and check only 4 cores or less.If you still experiencing this issue, try to set usable cores to 4 or less.
This issue was fixed by a patch, this workaround might not work for new issues
Apex Legends Dev Tracker - PC game hangs with 100% CPU usage
Thanks,

@EA_Lanna I wanted to set 4 cores , and it says ,,acess denied,, , same trying to set priority
DO NOT LISTEN TO LANA!!! SHE HAS NO CLUE WHAT SHES DOING OR TALKING ABOUT LANA! REALLY?!?!?! Half the damn player base has 100% CPU usage since the update.... and you are telling people to mess with their CPU cores as a fix?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? WHY DONT YOU TELL THE DEVS TO FIX THE GOD DAMN ISSUE, WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS GAME.. THIS IS GETTING BAD, UR GONNA CATCH A LAWSDUIT FOR FRYING PPLS CPU'S
im start to thinking about what if EA or respawn or .... are mining with our setups ??(LOL)?? cus there is no other way left to use for solving this * problem /// it started happening for me me since this genesis event update and every time i tried to play i had my cpu and gpu on max temp and usage /// can not even imagine how many swears i received from other players who played with me / they have right but i cant left playing this game after spending lots of money and tons of time on it /// and yes i tried every thing that was showed on the internet topics and videos // reinstalling windows / game / steam / trying it on origin /// set max fps and...... elc
but bruh! Who cares about gameplay! ch3ck out these sick G3n3sis 5k1n5!! They are L337!!!
@EA_Lanna
This does not fix the issue, and I'm honestly amazed to see this coming from a community manager.
Yes, it won't show 100% CPU usage in task manager anymore. Why? Because you just disabled half of your CPU, not because this is a 'fix'. To anyone reading this, please don't be fooled.
If you have eight cores and you disable 4 of them, you now have 50% of your CPU available to Apex, so if you have 50% of your CPU available, and Apex is using 50%, do the math...Apex is still using 100% of what is available to it.
Freaking unbelievable this game is still alive. I'm dealing with this problem for 3 months now but after the recent updates it's unplayable.
100% CPU and GPU usage on i7-9700k and rtx 3060 with 12 Gb of vram. WTF
same here....... 3 weeks in this * waiting for any solution or patch and nothing
This is ridiculous,you guys should launch the update as soon as possible.
its like i say my leg is in pain and you tell me to cut off my leg and then i would ever feel pain in my leg / youre true but its better to not say any thing when youre out of the world
Back at it again
problem started since genesis update
100% cpu usage
this problem has been there since the earlier patch in July. I am losing my patience after trying all the methods. if it is not fixed soon, i will rather quit.
This fix just causes game stuttering and more issues for me
mine fix was sipmply delete assets folder in respawn folder before I start the game, CPU used to be 100% for a few mins and then went to normal but after this update this doesnt work anymore
