Apex legend Season 2 new area "Containment" give me a massive FPS drop usually no matter what effect happen on screen my game always run higher than 60 but when i go to containment and look around in...
Forum Discussion
The title says it all really, I am getting quite dramatic FPS drop and slowdown in the new Containment area... it seems worst when I am on the western side of Containment looking out across the valley towards the Leviathan/Dinosaur/Nessie beast, often my FPS will drop from 110 to 50-60 simply turning around in this area to look in a different direction, it makes combat difficult.
This is the first time I have noticed consistent, area specific FPS drop in Apex. I have a pretty okay machine... GTX 1080Ti, i9 9900K and 32Gb of RAM. I think the cage area around the other monster performs okay, I haven't noticed any problems in that area, although I haven't been there quite so much, I will try and test later. So I don't know if the monster is causing the FPS drop or whether it is some other aspect of the Containment environment which makes this happen... it's often hard to test in game without getting shot!!

Strange it's only in that area, do you run any overlays like Discord or Origin In-game? Can you upload a DxDiag for us so we can look at your system specs?

@EA_Blueberry Nope no ingame overlays. Discord I use but not the overlay, and Origin overlay has been off for while. I am not saying I never get the odd FPS drop in Apex, but this is the first time I have noticed it consistently related to a specific area, and it is really dramatic.
Attached is dxdiag image as well as text dump
I will try and grab some video of being in that area later and upload it to youtube... is a little difficult to conduct tests when people are trying to shoot you though xD

Do any of these solutions work?
- Solution #1
- Update Windows Build to latest version. Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates.
- Lag spikes
- Set process to high priority
- Disable full-screen optimisations
- Clean boot the PC
Is there an update on this? All of my friends have had this issue since the new map update we all have NVIDIA cards and we all have both Intel and AMD CPUs. The problem is not just containment, but also leviathans. It's really annoying dropping down to 70-80fps from 120 due to a specific location.
What's up with this area dropping 50% of your framerate as soon as you get close? Will it get fixed? I avoid this area like the plague because of this bug.

Moved your post to this discussion.We've raised this up to the team to be aware of. There is a lot of going on in that area like the flyers in the cages and Leviathan moving, so a drop in FPS compared to other areas of the map doesn't sound out of the ordinary. We'll make sure to let them know we're getting feedback around this, thanks for reporting it!
