I am using i9-9900k overclock at 5Ghz and RTX 2080 Ti.
I had the same issues before (Exception breakpoint / Exceotion access violation / no crash report)
It was my CPU problem, My CPU's voltage was so high (more than 1.5 V) because of my overclock setup and cause APEX to crash.
I set my CPU without overclock and no crash after that. Now I set my overclock to 5 Ghz with the safest setup, and no crash until now.
Try to check your CPU's voltage and temp when your game crash, if it goes so high, I think that is the problem.
I hope it helps.
@Siiega I have the SAME set up exactly. Would you mind sharing your OC settings with me setting by setting. I'd GREATLY appreciate it!
I made an adjustment to my OC on my PC and played 7 hours without a single crash.
Current Rig:
i7-8700K
MSI GTX 1080
32GB G.Skill RAM
I’ve ran a fixed overclock @ 5GHz since I built the machine. I’ve never had an issue with any other games crashing including Apex Legends, until their most recent two patches. Since I could barely play the game cause I’d crash every other game, I changed my BIOS back to default settings. I set a fixed overclock @ 4.4GHz with EIST and Turbo Boost disabled. I left everything else at stock settings. I have yet to crash and have played roughly 7-8 hours. Clearly something in the newer patches is triggering the crash when the CPU is overclocked pretty high even if it’s a stable overclock. My gaming rig is cooled very well and @ 5GHz it would top out around 65c when under heavy load. Never had issues with anything (software, hardware, games, etc) until Apex Legends and the newest two patches. I run a 240Hz monitor so the drop in overclock has dropped my frame rate by a noticeable amount. In the jump ship I’d average roughly 140-150fps, I now average 95-115fps. Nothing earth shattering, but sucks that the game is having issues with high clocks. I used to run close to 240fps throughout most of the areas in the game, but now I range anywhere from 160-240fps depending on the area. Again I’d rather lose the frame rate then crash every other game. Haven’t taken the time to mess with the overclock and see if I could bump it up more, might just leave it since I have yet to crash. Hope a fix/solution is found so we can all run our higher clocks without crashes. Hope this helps some of you out. If anything changes or a crash happens I will be sure to post an update.
Fellas, this is your OVERCLOCK. Revert to factory and your problem will be solved. This has worked for 3 different people who I play with who have had similar issues. I have a 9900k that was clocked at 5.0. Crashed randomly since the release. Reverted back to stock 3.6, played 6 hours with no crash. There's something screwy with overclocking. I am a IT Engineer myself, and I cannot understand how voltage levels by itself can crash a game. It could be, in my opinon that this game prefers lower clock speeds. I've had 3 different software engineers look at my rig for a solution, none suggested it was an overclock issue.
There is nothing more frustrating than fixing IT issues for a living and having an issue you can't solve on your PC. If there is someone above my expertise that can explain this, I'd love to learn. Thanks!!
Removed the overclock on my cpu and haven't crashed since. Its the overclock guys. I have an i3-8350K oc to 4.8 and i reverted it back to base clock.
