Apex started stuttering 4 days ago / textures don't load in properly
Hey there,
first of all, before anyone asks for my specs: Craplaptop with a Geforce MX150 (2GB), I5 8250U, 8 Gb Ram.
I am well aware that I barely run the minimum specs for apex, but I played pretty much daily since release and always got between 50 and 60 frames on 720p and lowest settings.
4 Days ago, Apex started stuttering in game to a point where it is literally unplayable. It's hard to describe, because it doesnt feel like normal lag (which i know very well), but more like the game freezes every 2-3 seconds. Also the menu needs ages to load when i start the game and sometimes when I pick up a weapon, the textures of it take a few seconds to load so the weapon is "invisible" for a short time. I never experienced anything like that before. Any other game i have installed runs perfectly fine, online and offline.
Windows and the drivers are up to date, in fact my GPU driver got an update one day after the problem with apex started, but that didnt change anything. My internetconnection runs on full speed, i reinstalled the game, lowered the resolution even further, checked my whole system for viruses etc., nothing helps.
Does anybody have the same problem or any idea what else I could try? I just don't get how something like that can happen over night, without any updates/changes in the settings.
