Blurry textures
Hello, I have had this problem for a long time: When you have to select a legend to start the game, the textures of the characters take a long time to load, the textures are clear after a long wait....

Hi! Thank you for investigating my reply. Most hard drives even if they are 7200rpm still have a great chance of degrade in speed after years of use. This typically means the data stored on the hard drive might been fragmented. Perform a defragmentation on the drive may help a little. The worst case is that the disk itself is damaged over time and the average response time is above normal. It’s really common among all hard drives. I highly recommend you installing the game on a SSD. Speaking of the PCIe problem tho, I don’t think your pc have a PCIE 2.0 which is a pretty old standard where most graphics cards and cpu manufactured in those time period can’t really run apex at playable framerates , nor the cpu that supports motherboard with such old standards. Even if you do have a pcie 2.0 motherboard, the use of pcie3.0 lane is mostly depend on the cpu you use. You can check the motherboard and gpu connection type and speed with a tool called cpu-z. It’s a freeware by tech power ups.
@wolf109909 Hi, my hdd hard drive is quite new, i bought it 6 months ago and i often defragmented it with windows tool. I confirm that my motherboard is in pcie 2.0, it is a ga-h81m-s2vp. My processor and my motherboard date from 2014, I have an i5 4460 ... Here is a screen of my gpuz
HI! About the PCIe bandwidth it’s not necessary to upgrade for a new motherboard since gtx 1060 won’t eat up all pcie 3.0 x16. People with x8 works just fine on the internet so it should not be a problem. I also find someone with 3gb 1060 and pcie 3.0x16 with the same issue. I also I have a pretty new hard drive at 7200rpm hooked on my pc . I will do a test between my hdd and ssd for you to see if even native 7200rpm at their best performance still struggles the texture stream and try to poke around for something useful if hdd environment is mostly the case. But I’m not a ea developer here I don’t guarantee you with completely solving this. I will try and if doesn’t work then it’s probably a game glitch for hdd support or such. Would you mind adding me on steam for real-time feedback or just posting your ingame settings here?
- @wolf109909 Hi, I think it's better that we discuss here because if other people have the same problem as me, they may have the solution 🙂
Sure thing! I've done some tests on my SSD and HDD. The result shows SSD and HDD have no significant or noticeable difference in terms of texture stream while gaming. only a bit longer to load in the game and may have longer preload time in the menu. BTW I'm running my game on all HIGH including anisotropic filtering which is related to LOD stuff. try to make your setting to high and see if the texture loads faster. GTX1060 should be enough for 60fps at the highest settings.
