Frame Rate Issue In Game

Hello everyone! I've been having some issues in game with my frame rate. You see, while in the firing range my frame rate often gets up to 120-130 fps, however as soon as I enter a public game, suc...

It sounds like we are having the same issue, but seems like mine is more frequent. My FPS drops immediately after I start the game, it can get better but most of the time it won't.

Kendrick, I have noticed if I force increase my Resolution on my PC, start Apex, then restore to correct resolution, the game works better.

Firiing range I will be at 140ish fps, start a game and sit around 50-70. If I don't force my resolution, firing range will be 40-50 and in game will be 10-15fps

I usually play at 300fps, but with the issues I am currently having I'm lucky to get 60.

Sorry for the late response! Been unbelievably busy.

Thank you for the reply. When you mean you "force your PC to a higher resolution," what exactly do you mean? Where in your PC settings do you do this? I'm assuming you mean higher resolution and not higher frame rate. And when you correct it back to the original settings, do you do it in game or do you go back to the settings you tinkered with and change it there?

I can force my Nivida graphics resolution to 3840 x 2160. My monitor does not like it and everything is tiny. But scale it up and it's usable. I open Apex, then it adjusts to the "massive" change and glitches out. Then I go over to my Nivida settings and restore the resolution. Then, I change the Apex settings back to what they need to be and its a 50/50 chance i have fixed it. It has been the only helpful thing I have found other than plugging in a ton of launch options in steam and restarting the game.

  I'm sorry but I'm not very savvy when it comes the NVIDIA control panel. Could you provide a detailed description of how to "force" your display settings? As far as I can tell, mine just goes up to 1980x1080, even though it has 144hz.
  In relation to the clearing DNS cache, that did absolutely nothing for me. I'm starting to get the feeling that this is Apex's fault more than anything else, poor optimization perhaps.

Also, I just got an email back after 2 weeks after submitting a ticket with Apex customer support. Have you tried to do a DNS flush?
If not it also has seemed to help me a little bit.
Windows > CMD > Run as Admin
type " ipconfig /flushdns "
wait for it to complete and restart the game.
It was one of the only things I haven't tried, but I don't know if THAT was the issue.
