Ok, I figured it out. I have Citrix Workspace App installed. The "Citrix AppProtection" service is the one doing this. I disabled that one service, reboot and I'm back to around 280FPS. Start that service and launch the game and the frame rate is in the trash. Re-disable service and reboot again and I'm fine. Multiple launches of the game after disabling the service and I'm running without issue.
So this isn't really an Apex issue, but it kinda is. Here's the description of the service that's problematic:
AppProtection software is designed to safeguard entry fields and prevent keylogging spyware from accessing password details and other sensitive information from users.
OMG !
Thx a lot !!! I using citrix too and had same problem.
