Dear EA and Respawn

In the latest update, you messed up something again for Intel CPU users.

If Hyper-Threading is enabled, the game won't run properly. Most of the time it crashes while compiling shaders with no error message, or it pops up a window saying that Apex had a critical error.

Sometimes the game will start after 3-4 attempts, but the FPS will be terrible, dropping to 40-60 FPS with constant stutters.

Again, the only fix is to disable Hyper-Threading in the BIOS. Once Hyper-Threading is disabled, the game runs perfectly smooth with no crashes and stable FPS.

My PC has no issues at all. I have optimized it myself for the best gaming performance, and I never experience crashes in any other game. I play a lot of different games, and Apex is the only game with this issue.

My current system:

Intel i9-14900K

32GB RAM

Aorus Master Z790

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti

  • i had issues with the game itself as crazy and i try this and work for me this situation caused several diferent crashes of my system : 

    for all user me and my friend player 11xl we have been looking for a solution on this matter and so fare the one that have gave us results due to all the issues connected with  the latests update and apex after thinking that the issues is due to the amd all over system i thing the result is more diferent than that.  we had to add exclutions on exploit proteccion from microsoft defender.  overriding system settings ( off ) for cfg, dep, aslra and sehop ans cince this change on microsoft defender i havent experience any issue at all.

     

    befor that we try all the tweaks based for the game to run better --- no results

     

    in the game, in regedit.exe also i try clean instal windows 11, drivers, repasting thermals all of them on the laptop, cap max fps to 141 and many others like 

     

    Adjusting TdrLevel (Recovery Behavior)

     

    Look for a key named TdrLevel on the right side. If it isn't there, right-click any empty space in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it TdrLevel.

    Double-click it and set the Value data to 0.  and non of this actually gave us a result so if u are experience this isues is posible that the agressivines of easy anti cheat its bein somehow detected by the antivirus as maliciues reason that cause the system to hang and crash so hard that even bios time get cleared in some situations so try to exclude manualy cause the automatic exclusion its not actually working properly in some systems

     

  • I have an amd cpu and I’ve been crashing when compiling shaders with no error message either. Sometimes it doesn’t even get to compiling shaders before it crashes

  • I just had the same issue, thank you for mentioning this I spent an hour troubleshooting and then tried this and it worked. Respawn please see this
