Re: Apex Legends Crash no error - PC (apex_crash.txt)

@Lunchb0x88, it appears to be related to an exact instruction sequence, rather than to overworking the CPU. In simple terms, the CPU is doing a step internally, and the next step thinks the first step is done, but it's not. So, the second step uses half-done results that cause crashes. Lowering the clock speed gives the CPU enough time to finish the first step before the second step uses its results.

@OrioStorm I understand what you are saying, but there are tons of people with the same processors running at the same stock speeds that arent crashing in this game. One of my main squad mates is running 8700k and never crashes.

Different processors have different stock VIDs even among the exact same processor (Just each individual sample is tested with similar VID cores put on the same package. A processor may have a VID low enough that it triggers the timing error in Apex, when speed step/turbo boost kicks in, because the voltage is not high enough to avoid this error.

hi guys, I've been experiencing a lot of game crashes since two days. What surprises me, a lot of users complain about crashes and they use an Intel Cpu, and I couldn't find any posts regarding AMD cpu's. Anyways I embedded the txt file if that helps.
