Apex legends crashing without error

So, what worked for me on GTX 1070, Ryzen 7, was to:

1. disable all forms of vsync.
2. rollback to nvidia 417.71.
3. set (in nvidia ctrl pnl) power management to adaptive.
4. disable AO, Volumetric Lighting, and Adaptive resolution ingame. All are generally resource hogs and totally uneeded in fast paced fps.
5. turn off Usage Sharing (gen. settings)

For all I know, it was simply the graphical changes that rendered my game stable... but it works as-is, so, I shall leave it be.

Note: All 8 cores still hitting 80+% at 4.4 GHz. But hey... what can ya do?

That's it. Maybe I got lucky, but I went from crashing immediately upon dropping to totally crash free in 5 hrs of gaming. GOOD LUCK!

Also crashes randomly (today after only 2 games), no error message, just a freeze and then the game is gone ☹️

My system:  i5-3570K - 16 GB - RX480

Im almost positive respawn won't even bother trying to fix these errors, they most likely will ignore them because only like ~3000 players i assume have faced those issues and only a bunch came here, didnt happen to any streamers so its ez to dodge some work by just ignoring this little thread.
They havent even replied to any of this yet

I have the same issue.

I5-6500

RX 590

16GB ram

The registry edits from Koopak did not work for me. Still got the crash ☹️

Possible fix for memory error crashes on Win7.

(TL;DR: The bellow is a guide to potentially fixing crash issues)

A lot of people have had various crashes with error messages saying that the game engine was unable to write to or read from specific memory addresses. For Win8 and Win10 users these issues are largely fixed by a couple of windows updates (ill try to look up the KB articles again and provide theme here as well.)

 

However for Win7 I have found no such solution, however, I had it suggested to me the issue may be solved by setting the Apex Legends process priority to High. This would be simple if not for Easy Anti Cheat which prevents even admins from changing process priority. Luckily this issue has been solved before with Fortnite (special thanks to Sky Status for the video below.)

I've adapted this work around for Apex Legends and after 8 hours of game time have not had any further crashes so far. Bellow are links to a registry file you can download and run on any Windows OS and have the appropriate registry entries added for you. Links are spoopy though so i will also include a raw copy of the contents of the reg file so you can copy and paste it into a .txt and then rename to .reg as well as a guide to doing the registry edit manually.

Raw Reg (copy the lines of text between the lines into a .txt file, save, then change the extension to .reg then double click)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\r5apex.exe\PerfOptions] "CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003

Guide to manual registry edit. (quotes are for highlighting, do not type them)

1. Open the start menu and type "regedit" this should bring up regedit.exe, open it.

2. Using the side panel with drop down arrows navigate to the bellow location. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

3. Right click the "Image File Execution Options" folder, hover over "new", and select "Key", enter the name "r5apex.exe"

4. Right click the "r5apex.exe" folder, hover over "new", and select "Key", enter the name "PerfOptions"

5. Highlight "PerfOptions" on the left, in the white space in the right field, right click, hover over "new" and select "DWORD (32-bit) Value", Enter "CpuPriorityClass" for the name.

6. Double click the new "CpuPriorityClass" DWORD you created and in the new window ensure that the Base is set to Hexadecimal, then set the Value to "3"

7. Close Regedit

 

Final Notes: I have also been running the game in administrator mode, however i don't think that will be necessary with this fix, i will be testing later today and update. Also I am terrible with reddit formatting, if you have suggestions to help make this post clear, or other locations youd like me to copy pasta it, let me know, ill try to actually keep up with my PMs and this thread.

I also should mention that although my game crashes randomly, either 5 minutes into the game or an hour, one thing is certain - if i activate ingame option for adaptive resolution when my frames drop below 60, it crashes almost instantly when i deploy from a dropship.

r9 380

Speaks to a memory leak, as far as I can gather. Gonna try lowering GPU memory setting in game. Respawn needs to stop using the Source engine. What a headache. 

Run game as admin mode
