FPS Drops After Season 14

@JCarregueiro Sometimes lag drops can be caused by some corrupted files.

There is an asset folder that doesn't get repaired when uninstalling/repairing the game, so it will stay like that unless you delete it yourself.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Press Windows Key + R
2. Put in %USERPROFILE% and select OK
3. Go to the Saved Games Folder
4. Navigate to the Respawn Folder
5. Navigate to the Apex Folder
6. Delete the assets folder

These files should be generated again upon startup, possibly causing any issues that came from them.

No settings will reset if you delete the proper folder and it could possibly resolve your issue.

Having the same issue drop from 240 fps all the way down to 15 for a sec. Happens alot during weapon reloads, ADS transition, pulling out grenades etc.

Have tried underclocking CPU, underclocking RAM, underclocking GPU, I have Tried the Fix you describe here, I have tried reinstalling the game 4 times, verifying files, disabling game mode in windows, disabling resizable bar support, disabling hardware accelerated GPU scheduling, A clean install of windows, Loading the game onto a RAM DISK, updating every driver. IDK what to try anymore.

for me, since season 14, my ryzen 5800x / 6700xt GPU Combo suddenly halfed the FPS while being in the dropship...it looks like SMT Multithreading is not "working" correctly since the season started...

All 16 Threads are nearly maxxed out in the dropship, but max CPU Usage shows only around 50% and my FPS drop down to 100. Before s14, i had 190+ in the first seconds of the game and 240fps before i even touched the ground. I tried anything, the list would take me an hour to write here... and it is for sure nothing hardware related on my side. When i disable SMT, it is exactly the same FPS Number, just with a 100% CPU Usage on all 8 real cores, nearly maxxed out, that is why i believe that something "broke" the SMT Usage in Apex.

As soon as i touch the ground, the game runs perfectly as usual, but yeah, that "weird" CPU Usage in the dropship is something special. 

Again, i tried EVERYTHING, and because it is only in Apex, and there are no "special" Ryzenmaster or GPU Profiles, i have no clue where this SMT OFF / APEX LEGENDS Option is hiding maybe somewhere.

(yes, i know that i have a thread about it in detail that is over 2 weeks old...no need to mention it, thanks. I just threw it in here if there is some relation to it for others...)

Hey everyone @ALIEN_I_AM @catacllsm @Sovereign_2077 @XHelperZ @JCarregueiro 

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

Also can have a list of troubleshooting you have tried. 

Thank you!
