Hello, I'm suddenly experiencing a frequent Apex crash and hoping for some guidance. Brand new PC built about 2 months ago. I've been playing Apex flawlessly on this build since it was assembled. I ...

Im fairly certain it has to be with the CPU's AVX instructions. For some reason this game is SUPER Sensitive to ANY kind of CPU overclock regardless of voltage/stability etc. If i run an OC greater than 8700k's factory boost of 4700mhz it'll randomly crash to desktop with no error message. When i lock at 4700mhz its 100% no crashes. Confirmed this multiple times over. It may be the reason why many high end rigs are crashing compared to older stuff. The implementation of AVX on this game needs some serious looking into. As a possible temporary solution - I suggest anyone with a high end intel CPU run a minus 1 - 3 AVX offset. See if that makes any difference and gives more stability.
@1Pumppthat is *. I have my 8700k set to 5.3 GHz and i could play Apex for many months without crashing (besides the RTX card issues in season 1). It has nothing to do with the OC /avx, its the game itself.
- @Xenacftw Have you played recently? In previous seasons I was able to play with my OC successfully too, but as the updates progressed my ability to max my OC with apex became less and less to where it is today. If you dont have same the issue thats very interested. Maybe you can list your current components, as it may be related to a type of MoBo or something.
@1PumppYes i am playing at the moment and i had crashes since i updated to the latest nvidia drivers. Since i downgraded to the version before, my crashes are gone.
My current specs:
8700k 5.3ghz 1.37v, AVX offset 0
32gb Trident Z Royal (3200 oc at 4000mhz)
Aorus Elite Mainboard
RTX 2080 +1000mhz Memory, +110mhz core
And everything is cooled with a custom loop.
I will report if crashes are completely gone after i played some hours today.
