Freezing when to many physics objects on screen.

I have an issue where I can load into a game of apex or run around in the firing range, but the second I launch an evac tower, or throw a few grenades or thermites, and the game will just freeze without giving me an error code. The freeze will continuously play the audio that had gone off prior, and will not automatically recover, so I have to shut down apex in the task manager.  This will also happen when loading into a match, or sometimes in a match if something happens that triggers it.

I have tried a few things to resolve it:

  • Messing with in game settings all on all low and messing with the vram limit
    • No change to when/ how it crashes.
  • Rolling back drivers
    • I had thought at one point this had fixed it, but this did not.
  • Running only apex and no other programs
    • No change, I went in and stopped discord and all razer programs so as to eliminate issues here. 
  • Verifying game files
    • No change in freeze
  • A clean install of the game
    • This will actually fix the issue for so long as I am playing in the current session, but when I shutoff my computer for the night, it will crash again.

Additional Information:

Furmark stress test works just fine, and so do other games.

I have attached a Video of part of the problem, though I did experience a new glitch in that one, where when I joined firing range there was another person not on my friends list in there.  Not the main issue I am having though.

I have also attached some errors that I got around the same time in event viewer.

    What finally worked for me was going into windows settings and reenabling memory integrity. Somehow it got turned off for me, and that was causing freezes.

    I managed to play last night by downloading the both of the amd software's and updating my chipset drivers, and also forcing my cpu to not overclock. I do not know if it will work tonight.

    Hi LongRichardStyle so for what I've read until the day of today the issue is related to GPU drivers, I'm using a GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming x Trio and since January I've been noticing that the game sometimes just freezed, but I thought it was due to not  updating frequently drivers, or firmwares from other devices connected to the PC, thinking that it was all due to a 3.5" IPS display that I bought also in January. The thing is that the consistency of the freezings were never accurate, sometimes I've played for 3 or 4H and nothing happened, but other times it was unplayable, until this last 24th season update that became horrible, but I read and researched and found a few tweaks that would probably fix this s!$%! So, for coincidence or not, temporarily solved that, but it came always again with the same problem. I used tu use Steam, and I thought that was the problem, so with linked account to EA I switched to that App, and supposably worked, until yesterday, when after playing 2h in a row, with only two more squads in the heat of the moment, with the ring proximity and nades, shots and so on, the game suddenly freezed! 🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤

    Near giving it up, almost at the verge of uninstalling the game, I read today that Nvidia since the launch of the 50 series, messed up with the drivers for 30 and 40 series. Today, at 1H ago, I've rolled back my drivers and installed the drivers from December, and I'm going to try it. Oh, and one security tweak you need to do, in windows 10 or 11 go to security and select both boxes from cpu, it's related with memory integrity. I can't even tell you how many different things I've tried... If this works I'm going to spam Nvidia cause they just  neglected older GPUs giving preference to the 50 series. I will give the feedback in a while, hopping to be a good one.

    I just hope you have better luck than me, it worked for me for 2/3H and then BAAAAAAAAM! Again with the same issue. 

    Anyway a big thanks for the hint, it's a thing I've done a while ago to play valorant and forgot to turn on. Anyway what graphics card do you use? I Play at 1440p, with almost everything in High, in HDR gamemode, G-sinc of and in hardware running with a MSi RTX 3070 Gaming x trio, Ryzen 3600, and 32Gb Ram at 3200Hz.

    Guys forget for now, it gave me de exact same issue. Probably cause I've done a "dirty" install, need to use DDU uninstaller to remove from root. Gonna try it today after work.

  • I managed to play again last night with no issue for the most part. I am on nvidia driver 572.60 and forced my cpu to not overclock. Then ran the game in borderless windowed mode with full screen optimizations and run as admin done previously.

    A way to avoid this frustration and do rapid tests that i have found is go to the firing range and throw a full inventory of thermites at the ground after you change stuff, and that will help you figure out if it is going to work or not. Also see my below comments about what I did and it is working for me.
