Steam seems to be the answer, next to no issues vs origin.
After the 40GB repair I get stuck on shaders after the first load (I reboot after the 40GB repair.)
The shader message is attached, then I repair it again and this time the 4GB download starts.
Have tried setting +fps_max 120 -refresh 240 but it still won't make the game stable.
Community ManagerHi @BigSnicks,
What happens if you start up your PC in a Clean Boot before you play Apex Legends? I'm curious if there's something else running that could be conflicting with Apex Legends.
For more details on how to set up a Clean Boot check out the EA Help website. Once you have the text file please let me know how it goes. Thanks!
Interestingly no issues so i turned on my LG and Nvidia services and I get the below the next morning:
So I decided to disable the Nvidia items only and reboot (no repair):
On reboot with no repair the game opened right away, seems Nvidia is the culprit but they are all up to date so unsure what the issue is.
But it's not hurting anything so I will slowly turn other items on to see if it breaks.
Thanks for this, I would have never thought a clean boot would achieve much as I thought the shaders were corrupting.
I really should have followed all the steps in the guides. I will keep you updated over the next couple of days in the event this was a random fluke.
It also seems Nvidia has removed the shader cache folder and setting so unsure if that was the culprit but then I would expect multiple posts about the issue.
Had one random crash in the lobby, rebooted the machine and the game loaded but freezes when the lobby enters:
Rebooted and ran repair:
Repair decided it needed to download 31.28GB
Uninstalling the GeForce experience and will let you know how this goes.
