Apex suddenly crashes during shaders
Hey I'm really hoping someone can help me. I've been playing on PC after XBOX for about 3 years, it's been good. I have my settings way down since I don't have the best PC, but I have a nice monitor and it's a better gaming experience for me than XBOX.
Starting last Thursday, I've been unable to play. 100% of the time, it crashes loading the shaders. Sometimes it crashes before I click to continue, but usually it goes to shaders 12790/12790 1:13.6 or so on the count, lags for 1 second, then game disappears and I'm back on the desktop.
So far I have tried:
Verifying Game Files
Ensuring GPU drivers fully up-to-date (actually...I think this said it updated 5/1 -- maybe my prob)
Re-installing Apex
Disabled all programs during boot
Resetting PC, removing all files
Re-installed Windows from cloud
Re-installing Steam and Apex
Dusted PC, Replaced CPU Thermal Paste
Reseated GPU and all MOBO connectors
It still always crashes at the same place, more or less.
Here are PC specs:
Processor i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)
Storage 466 GB SSD CT500P2SSD8, 112 GB SSD Corsair Force LS SSD
Graphics Card AMD Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB)
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
I'm going to check the GPU drivers again now and I'll edit my post if that date is wrong, I need to re-install AMD Adrenaline but 1000% my drivers were fully up-to-date for all testing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
