FPS drops and stuttering after the latest Apex update

Hi Dada12132​,

Thanks for your report.

Sorry to hear that you've been experiencing stuttering and FPS drops after the recent update.

If you've recently updated your graphics driver, it may be worth trying to roll back to a previous stable version to see if that improves performance.

You can also try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Make sure your monitor is connected to your dedicated graphics card rather than the motherboard, and confirm that Apex Legends is using the dedicated GPU.
2. Close any unnecessary background applications that may interfere with the game.
3. Try limiting your in-game frame rate.
4. Uninstall any Microsoft Edge gaming components or game assistants that may be running in the background.
5. Open Task Manager while the game is running and check your CPU and GPU usage to see if either is being fully utilized.
6. Try enabling Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) in Windows if it is currently disabled.
