Apex Legends 100% CPU Stutter and freezes

Sorry to say @Contactdestroyer but your CPU is slightly below the minimum required to run the game.

All you can do is turn all settings down low and hope for the best.

@EA_Darko I am having a similar issue. When I launch the game it takes 100% of my CPU and is lagging on the menu page to the point where it is difficult to get into the settings page and even make changes. I have another PC running on an i5 with no issues running on full screen with lowered graphics. I find this puzzling because I can run the division 2 open beta on ultra graphics in full screen and stream in 720P @ 60FPS with no problems.

Any ideas as to why this is placing a massive load on the CPU and what i may need to change in order to be able to play?

Windows 10 64-bit

Intl Core i9-9900K CPU @ 3.6 GHz 

NVIDIA Geforce 2080 RTX

ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming

I'm also having high cpu usage.

Mine is weird. When on dropship, my cpu aalways hit 100 if my curaor pointing on the map. Fps cantc get more than 20. This goes normal if i point the cursor other than the map.

And I'm having lags and stuttering when playing too. I cant enjoythe game.

Apex needs some good patches. Especially some high end system still having crash issues.

How to improve cpu performance a bit:
1. Enable shader cache in nvidia control panel or amd equivalent
2. Disable integrated gpu/speedstep/turboboost for intel
3. Make sure you have a 4-core cpu and all 4 cores are being used
4. Disable any services/programs from starting up (non-microsoft services ofcourse)
5. Prevent realtime protection for example windows defender (make sure to do regular scans in to keep ur pc checked)
6. Lower polling rate of mouse/keyboard (500hz will do)
7. Disable origin overlay

8. Set windows update to manual update
