Hello everyone, im having an issue with the game. When i look around and move the mouse game starts to lag. I tried many things like changing v-sync to on etc. I have a only 120hz laptop with i7 10750h gtx 1650ti 16gb ram and ssd+hdd. Something is probably wrong with the game. Any fix for this problem ? My fps is going between 65-120.
Note:English is not my native Language sorry for that if you didn't understand what i am saying.
I have the same issue since release basically. This is the only game on my PC that feels stuttery/laggy when looking around with the mouse.
My PC is a Ryzen 2700X, RTX 2080, 32 GB RAM, game is installed on a nvme SSD, 400 MBit/s cable connection and ~18ms ping to the Frankfurt servers. Playing on a 144hz monitor. I tried every settings combination imaginable, vsync/gsync on/off, lowest graphic settings, custom settings.ini etc. I get over 144 fps most of the time, only in the dropship or from really high ground the fps drops to ~110. But even when standing in a small room where the fps meter shows 300+ fps, doing a 360° is SO super stuttery, and not fluent at all. This is the only game where I experience this kind of lag/stutter, other games I played recently that run super smooth are: Warzone, Overwatch, even PUBG runs way smoother than Apex.
I've been looking for a solution since release, but so far nothing helps. I'm glad at least I'm not the only one with this problem. Lets hope there is a fix for this.
Use this command line and let me know if it's working :
-high +fps_max 0 -refresh 240 -forcenovsync
change 240 to your refresh monitor either 60 or 120 or 144 or 244
Nope sorry. Nothing works.
RTSS is what will help you. Unlock your FPS in Apex, dont cap framerate. Disable VSYNC everywhere. Download RTSS and follow these instructions: https://www.resetera.com/threads/guide-how-to-use-rtsss-scanline-sync-to-reduce-stuttering-screen-tearing-and-input-lag-on-pc-alternative-to-vsync-g-sync-and-freesync.138764/
@Sick1Click Holy * I think this actually works, although I'm not sure I've set up everything correctly, but it's so much smoother now. For example when it came to calibrating the tear line I had no visible tearline at all, and pressing the shortcuts to move the tear line up/down (with CTRL+SHIFT+Up/Down arrows) did nothing (I have set SyncHotkeys=1). If I understood it correctly it should at least change the "Sync line 0" value in the OSD which I can then use to calculate the "Scanline sync", but it stays at zero. Also my fps is capped to 144 and I'm not sure if this is because of RTSS doing its work (through setting SyncFlush=1) or something else.
So no idea if everything is set up correctly, but the game runs very smooth now (except in dropship where I get 100-110 fps it stutters a bit, but I don't care, on the ground it runs super smooth now).
Thanks a lot for ending my suffering since release of the game!!
@xewarrior I have also written a good manual: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/need-help-low-fps-in-Apex-Legends/m-p/9216992#M76263
I had this issue for a little over a year now, after I upgraded from 60Hz to 144Hz. I managed to find a solution myself without the need of any downloads.
You can have G-Sync on or off, that is entirely up to you - however, if you have G-Sync on then turn V-Sync off. Also switch off Overdrive via your monitor settings if you have that.
The issue I were having were simply because I was playing in Borderless Windowed, so therefore once I switched it to Fullscreen then the stuttering was noticeably reduced.
The only time I really notice stuttering now is when the servers are being clunky, as movements on screen are usually delayed. Try that out to see if it works for you.
is there are video for it? I really don't understand what are we going to do in game.
Hey you might of fixed this already. But for me it was turning off Giff My Game. That was making mine stutter. Hope this helps someone.
What is giff? Ty
