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.

    I downloaded the game like 3 days ago, and I was really excited by this game till playing it.  Constantly microstutter, tried EVERYTHING, chancing all settings to another. Changing polling rate, updating drivers, updating windows, updating everything from device task. nothing helps.

  • I found a fix. It fixed my stuttering, lag, crashes, frame drops. EVERYTHING. Now I can finally run apex(and other games) with smooth frames and movement.
    Resetting your pc will definitely do the trick! (it did for me)

    Here is a video on how to do it and how to improve my gaming experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_i1DCTnBK8

    if the thumbnail is corrupted then it's youtube studios. It won't let me upload a thumbnail.

  • I have the same problem just started I have a 3090 amd 5900x and 128 gb of ram and it just started tonight my ping is 35.-40
