Hi, Apex Legends constantly keeps crashing, the odd thing is it doesn't only "crash" it freezes my pc, its completely random, once it "freezes" everything on my pc freezes, I can still hear my friend...

Hey @redtiger64
Sorry for my late reply 😳
Can you try the following for me ?
Turning off Discord Hardware Acceleration.
Open discord settings and appearance and scroll down to Advanced.
Check if Hardware Acceleration turned off, if not move the slider to the left
forcing Origin / Apex Legends to use fewer cores
People in the Apex Legends discord are confirming reducing the available cores.
How you can do this is as following:
- Open Origin and let it run in the background.
- Open task manager and look for the Origin service.
- Right-click Origin and click go to details.
- Here Origin will be highlighted and right-click again.
- Select the set Affinity option.
- Here uncheck one of the cores, preferable the last core in the list.
Do not uncheck Core 0 as this can make Apex Legends unstable in some cases.
If you tried changing the Affinity of Apex Legends, you will get the error message Access Denied.
You can only change the affinity of Origin or you will have to go into Regedit (not recommended)
@Zeelmaekers I tried this, I still crashed during a game of ranked

I also tried that, and still got crashes. I also tried turning off hyper-threading and limiting active CPU cores in BIOS. No DICE, still crashing.- @jnikoley im still crashing man ☹️
Me too. Reducing my FPS seems to reduce the frequency of it though, but it still happens.
