New Update crashes without launching (not a directx12 option issue)
New Update crashes without launching (not a directx12 option issue). I have older hardware so that might be part of it but here are the things I have tried:
ON STEAM:
- directx 12 option
- directx 11 option
- removing all launch options
- verifying game files
EA app version:
- tried launching the default way on ea app
- tried launching all the .exes in my install folder apexlauncher, r5, r5_dx12,start_protected but all of these end the exact same way with just closing.
other
- flushing dns
- reset my nvidia shaders cache
- changing random nvidia control panel settings
NOTHING WORKS
The small rectangle splash screen pops up for 15 seconds or so and then just closes and nothing happens. I have closed sharex, discord, powertoys and everything running in the background that might be considered to be a problem. I have removed autohotkeys in the past because apex didn't like that but I am not even getting an error message this time, just closes. It had been running just fine before the update. I have tried the suggested fixes from both the devs and the community but that doesn't seem to be my problem.
Is there anything else I should try or just wait for a patch?
