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...)
