Hey @OrioStorm,
Could you please take the time and check my crash log? I have an i7 9700k oced to 4.9ghz and it is stable in any stability or stress test I have done. Played alot of games since I have it and I had no problems until now. apex_crash.txt is attached.
EA Staff (Retired)@scrawny633 it looks like an overclocking issue, since the instruction address that failed to execute doesn't match the instruction address that it wanted to execute.
00007FF60000201B -- this is the address that it complained about executing in the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION line
00007FF68D4F22FF -- this is the address that it should be executing from the RIP register
If you know hex, you can see that some of the bits that are 1 in RIP are 0 in the address it complained about.
We had common crashes like this due to overclocking (on Intel only) before we changed the instructions used to do a particular calculation. I recommend dropping your OC by 0.1 GHz and see if Apex is stable.
Stress tests can prove that your overclocking is unstable, but they can't prove that your overclocking is stable. In other words, they show you don't have problems in their tests over the time period the test runs, but they don't prove that you won't have problems under ANY workload over ANY timeframe.
This is a fundamental limitation of science, by the way. Experiments can prove a theory is WRONG if the results don't match predictions, but the fact that they do match doesn't prove that a theory is RIGHT. For example, Newtonian physics were experimentally verified for centuries, until experiments proved them wrong in the late 1800s / early 1900s (or so), and then we had to develop relativistic physics and quantum mechanics.
So, it's good to run stress tests to test your overclocking, but the fact that the tests are stable doesn't mean that you won't have problems due to overclocking. The program that fails doesn't even have to be particularly stressful; it just has to hit on a sequence of instructions and memory reads such that one stage of the CPU pipeline somewhere doesn't finish before the next stage starts.
@OrioStormThanks for the quick reply and the science lesson :D
I will reduce my clock speed then. Fortnuately I can do this with AI Suit, so I dont have to restart my PC every time.
think i may have found a solution without lowering clock speed on cpu. Ive had a stable clock of 4.20 ghz for about 3 months now and randomly got the "missing"/"bad" module crash. I claim no part in finsing this, i simply want to share it with others. what i was told to do is the following;
First, you will need to navigate to the installation folder. The easiest way to do this is right-clicking the desktop icon - > Properties -> Open File Location. Once the folder is open, you will need to find r5apex.exe, which will likely be already highlighted.
Right-click r5apex and click Properties. Navigate to the Compatibility tab and find the Disable Fullscreen Optimisation option. Check the box next to it, save and exit. The next time you launch Apex Legends it might run in windowed mode, but you should be able to safely change to fullscreen in Apex Legends' in-game options.

today crash without apex_crash.txt , engine error
BSoD today hapen ☹️
