@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

    @EA_Blueberry I'll check those out. But generally I don't have any FPS spikes drops or problems, mostly the game runs fine and smooth. But it is noticeable when I go into this one area on the map suddenly very significant drops start occuring... from my own personal experience mapping for Source (lots of CS) this did manifest much more like a specific map related problem as opposed to some global conflict which would affect things everywhere all the time. I have removed an autoexec config with a few console commands to see if that makes any difference, but pretty much all it has was this :

    cl_drawmonitors 1
    cl_forcepreload 1
    mat_screen_blur_enabled 0
    hud_setting_minimapRotate 1
    hud_setting_pingAlpha "0.400000"
    refresh 144
    // fps_max 0
    fps_max unlimited
    r_drawtracers_firstperson "1" //set to 0 for no tracers on your bullets
    mat_autoexposure_override_min_max "1" // is required to get the other auto exposure commands working
    mat_autoexposure_max "1" // slightly lowered the exposure of the world
    mat_autoexposure_min "0.9"
    mat_autoexposure_speed "9" // Speed between the exposure changes
    mat_autoexposure_uncap "0"
    sprint_view_shake_style "1"
