In game when I turn on texture streaming budget no matter if I put it on low or medium it is over using VRAM and causes stuttering and freezing. This happens since start of new season. I have gtx 1060 3gb and I have installed game on ssd. Even if I put texture streaming budget to low for 2gb VRAM it still over uses more than 3gb of VRAM. I can turn off texture streaming budget off but textures looks low quality and then there is no point in using skins. I never had the problem with this game since start of this season.

This new update for season 12 fixed my vram and texture load issue

High Vram usage in game cause stuttering and freezing

Hey, @Emrys446 can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have?

Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

@EA_Atic I tried clean boot. Every overlay was disabled (Origin, Geforce and Discord). The Vram usage while play rises over time when it reach over the 3GB of VRAM. The main culprit is texture streaming budget. I sent in attachment dxdiag and screenshoot of game

Just crashed three times in one game. Been dealing with this issue with no resolution all year. Going to keep posting in other threads until I get an actual reply to my thread FROM MARCH. Please tell me how to enable crash logging.

@Eggfiend I am sorry you have this problem but don't post in thread that is not related.
I can give you some tips.
Crashed usually happens when memory leak happens or you get out of memory.
Try to turn on memory paging in windows and set it to automatic
Run the game as administrator
Lower the VRAM usage in game

Appreciate the reply, crazy how the first piece of actual advice I got was outside my thread. Hmmm, very interesting?

Anyway, when I run Apex as administrator, I get crazy insane stutters for some reason. Like, it's literally 2 frames per second. I'm not sure why that is.
