I have the same problem brother, I've been having it for a month, I REPEAT - I can't solve it for a month, and these **bleep** from EA can't do **bleep**, I've tried everything that can be found on the forms, New Windows 11 (both new and previous versions) - reinstalled Windows 4 times, not one of them getting enough Nvidia drivers didn't help, a bunch of different BIOS settings like overclocking / xmp and a bunch of other things don't help, disabling overlays / graphics settings in the game itself doesn't help, I tested my hardware in general on all known tests - everything is fine, delete / reinstall / add Apex startup logs does not they help, the Steam game launcher itself and the EA app also have no effect, dx11/dx12 does not work on any of them (I already think we need to turn both on at once, otherwise these sheep can only draw weapon skins, I have already sent 5 letters to 0 support, they do not know how to solve this problem, I have already extended ChatGPT, but I think it's in vain - I'll just quit this game, it's not possible - every 2-3 games there is a crash.
