Update Nov 16th. this seems to be addressed now. If you are experiencing crashing or freezing please check out our Crashing Troubleshooting guide.
I did the direct X 12 launch thing last night, I froze on one match, I was abit optimistic and than I restarted my PC, started up Apex and was able to play for almost an hour last night.
will see how it goes this evening after work, I will restart my PC again and see how long I can game for, update ya’s later tonight.
Well, reading through all these experiences players are having with the freeze issue, I can't find any real common thread except that the issue seems to occur on the new map, yet not in Arenas. Some people have new or at least somewhat up to date systems, others are on older hardware; some play through Steam, others use Origin; some have updated their gpu driver, others are still on older versions...and so on.
This all leads me to believe that it most probably is an issue on Respawn's/EA's side and very probably related to the new map. The saddest thing is that they haven't even acknowledged the issue - a simple "we've seen that there is an issue with the game freezing, we're looking into it" would be highly appreciated, so that we at least know that they are aware of and trying to resolve the issue.
I played one full game of arena but crushed the second game, so arena crushes too
I figured out that when I play with loba crushes only once a game for me in the beginning of the game. But if I use any other caracter it crushes 3 times every game. I tested this in 20games with 10 different characters. Hardware shouldn’t be a problem because I have a new computer ryzen 9 5950 32gb ram rtx 3070ti and I tried with new and old drivers
