Game keep crashing randomly - I tried everything
Hello, I keep crashing nearly 60% of the games I play and it's getting really annoying. The game just freezes for 1-2 second, then just silently crashes to desktop. I have followed the Community Crashing Troubleshooting guide and have done every single thing in that list, even reinstalled windows and tested so many more fixes like downclocking/overclocking my GPU, setting the memory lower and even tried to underclock my CPU. I have the latest windows update, and when I did a fresh install I only had Origin, Discord and Apex Legends installed, but still crashing. I can't seem to find any error logs, I could upload them here if someone knows where I could check for them.
Something I noticed, is that so far I haven't crashed once when I play solo, only when I play with my friends. I did link my steam account and I did get the loading bug once and had to relink the account to another steam user using the old link to fix that problem.
I'm not sure if this is related, but all my friend that did link their steam account also crash, but my friends that didn't link the steam account don't crash.
My computer runs fine on all other games. I really like this game, but it's basically unplayable right now.
Game is installed on C: (SSD) - Also tried on HDD, and 3 SSDs in raid 0. Bios is set on default settings.
My computer:
I5-6600k - No overclock
HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 16GB - 2 sticks( 2 x 8)
ASUS Radeon RX Vega 64 ROG Strix OC - Balanced mode in wattman
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII RANGER Socket-1151
I have monitored all the temperatures in the computer, and no overheating
I got 3 monitors, 2 72Hz(Using HDMI) and 1 144Hz(Using DP).
Please help 🙂
I finally fixed my crashing problem by doing this:
Reset BIOS to default settings
Clean install of windows (again)
Installed windows updates
Installed Origin
While having Origin open, uninstalled every c++ in windows control panel
Repair on apex so it will install the missing c++ versions
It wont install every single version, so go install the ones that are missing. You need to google them and find the version.
Used AMD Radeon Settings to scan for games
Edited the Apex Legends profile it made by scanning
Set everything to performance or off where possible, fps cap to 80 and turned Freesync off
Edited the apex.exe file in the game folder - Disable full-screen optimizations - Run this program as an administrator - Run this program in compatibility mode for windows 7
Launched the game from the profile inside Radeon settings
Changed everything in video settings inside the game to low or disabled
I played for 6 hours without one single crash in fullscreen and 80 fps 🙂 Keep in mind, if you do alt tab the game(minimize), it can crash again so you need to relaunch the game.
This is not an acceptable solution in my eyes, the developers needs to fix this asap, but for now if you really wanna play it, you could try this. I hope this helps someone. Uploading pictures of my settings.
