[CONFIRMED BUG] Severe FPS Drops & CPU Bottleneck Since Season 27

Hello, I am creating this report to detail a severe performance regression introduced with the Season 27 update. My game has gone from running perfectly to being nearly unplayable due to massive FPS...

Thanks to everyone for leaving updates so far on the thread while we investigate the issue.

For anyone watching this thread, please also share

a screenshot from GPU-Z spec from their machine - https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

What motherboard you have, as this can impact performance, even with high end GPU/CPUs

Generate a DxDiag and share that here

Can you share a video, where you are also display the per-core CPU utilization

Showcase connecting to match, hitting the ground, face any direction that exhibits low FPS and then stop moving completely for around 10 seconds - this will show if streaming world data is resulting in considerable performance loss

➡️Marked as solution for visibility purposes only, as this is still being looked into.

Je rencontrais des problèmes de performance depuis juillet dernier, suite à une mise à jour du BIOS. J'ai ensuite changé de processeur, passant d'un i5 12400f pour un i5 14600k et acheté une carte mère ASUS Prime B760 DDR4. À ma grande surprise, les performances en jeu restaient inchangées, toujours les mêmes chutes de FPS et une latence d'entrée insupportable.

Le problème semble résolu pour le moment après avoir effectué ces actions :

- Activation du profil XMP dans le BIOS

- Sous-tension du processeur à -0,1 V

- Désactivation des états C

- Activation de l'hyperthreading, si désactivé, un goulot d'étranglement est garanti sur Apex

- Passage de l'application Steam à l'application EA avec Apex installé sur un disque dur externe (Seagate 1 To)

- Installation de Process Lasso

- Avant toute manipulation du processus lasso, désactivez le mode jeu dans Windows.

- Sélection d'une priorité processeur élevée pour le lanceur STEAM ou EA EADekstop.exe

- Uniquement sur r5.apex.exe, sélectionnez l'affinité du processeur/sélectionnez les cœurs physiques p-cores, dans mon cas 2,4,6,8,10 et désactivez les cœurs électroniques (E-cores) si vous en avez.

Dans le lanceur Steam ou l'application EA, saisissez la commande : -high

Mes FPS fluctuent entre 200 et 240, et je descends rarement en dessous, même pendant les combats les plus intenses. Je ne sais pas exactement quel changement a résolu mon problème, mais je suppose que c'est l'installation du jeu sur un disque dur externe. Curieusement, lorsque j'ouvre Apex sur mon SSD interne, je subis constamment des latences d'entrée et des FPS instables, malgré toutes les optimisations appliquées.

Quick update!

Make sure you completely disable GameBar. Simply disabling it in Windows settings is not enough, because every time you start the game, GameBar activates automatically. You need to make sure you disable it in the registry editor.

I noticed that Apex was causing memory leaks. After 2-3 hours of gameplay, RAM usage would jump from 30% to 85%, and when I restarted the game, the data wasn't cleared, which overloaded my RAM and sometimes caused screen freezes and unstable FPS. It's a bit annoying, but make sure you download a tool to clean your RAM as often as necessary. Even though in theory Apex normally uses between 6 and 10 GB of RAM, for some reason I don't know, the game uses about 12 GB of RAM for me. If you only have 16 GB of RAM and your RAM is being used by other programs, you may find yourself short. With Dx11, the resources were more than sufficient, but with the switch to Dx12, I feel like the game is more demanding and requires more RAM. I think upgrading to 32 GB of RAM would be a good idea.

Its not your rig bro.
Updating to 32g of Ram will in no way fix this and you.ll just be wasting money.
The game is broken for a lot of users in S27 and its game Engine related.
