Out of memory crash

Hi guys, I always used to play apex legends at ultra settings without any problems. Recently my game started crashing a lot on a memory crash. Sometimes even my discord and or firefox crashes...

    @hulksmash159357 Hi buddy,

    What worked for me is I deleted all microsoft visual C++ from my computer.
    Then went to downloaded the new x86 and x64 .exe files from microsoft (website below). download and install both files, restart computer after you installed both of them.
    Then I went to Origin app and repaired apex legends.

    Since then im playing 2 days straight without a single crash so far (before it happen like 10 times a day).

    Goodluck and I hope this works for you.

Hi @NitroxPH, 


Did you make any changes to your Page File settings in Windows? I've seen some cases where that has caused issues like this.

    Hey mate can you please tell me how you fixed it? I've been having memory leak in apex legends since the s6 update launched since then my game keeps getting to 6gigs+ of ram and my memory usage reaches 98% and I get stutters and cannot play the game whatsoever.., I have tried these but nothing worked: Rapaired the game through Origin, Re-installed Origin, re-installed Apex Legends, Reset my pc (Re-installed windows thought kept my files so only cleaned the C: drive) updated windows to the latest version, update my gpu drivers and all my hardware drivers, I even made a task to clean my memory cache every 5mins and nothing worked whatsoever being like this since season 6 update dropped I took a brake cause I didn't find any solution back then but now I came back to finish the battle pass before it ends and I really can't play for 30mins straight please help EA support!
