Re: Apex Legends Crash no error - PC

Okay so i've managed to play 2 days straight (20+ Hours) with solid gaming sessions with only 1 crash and its very promising. (Better than crashing literally every 2nd game)

This might be a hassle but if you follow these steps it may also help you out.

This is what I did:

1. Put all graphic setting AS LOW AS POSSIBLE on apex. ALSO PUT THE ADAPTIVE RESOLUTION FPS TARGET MINIMUM 50 (mine is on 50), if your still crashing try increasing it.

  • My settings are attached below look at the photo's

2. Go to your task manager and sort the tasks by name, I ended any processes relating to AMD softwares (like 4 things that had the name either 'Radeon: ....' or 'AMD ....')

  • Note: Always do this if you've restarted or just booted up your comp wanting to play Apex
  • It only force closes the AMD software which will turn off the vsync and the other settings enabled for Apex + you can always boot it back up by just searching AMD on search bar so its completely safe dw.

3. Put Easy Anti Cheat on low priority --> Do this by task manager ---> Details ---> Find and right click Easy Anti Cheat --> Priority then put it as low.

4. You have to experiment with the +fps max through the advanced launch options. Mine mainly stopped crashing around 45/50. I started at 80 and kept going down by 5 until it didn't crash anymore. (So in short I put in the advanced launch options "+fps max 45")

5. I turned off ALL OVERLAYS. For me the overlays I turned off were:

  • Discord
  • Origin
  • AMD Software (But I think step 2 takes care of this as one of the tasks is named AMD overlay or something like that which you close)

6. Compatibility mode is on WINDOWS 8, and i've also ticked the 'Run as administrator box'

Side Notes:

  • Graphics card and Windows is up to date.
  • I know that 45 fps cap is so bad, but I barely notice it tbh, and its better than crashing every game
  • I found that VSYNC of any sort made the crashes worse, as soon as I turned it off it wasn't crashing as much.
  • My game files are in SSD not HDD, so this may have helped the game not crash.
  • You're going to have to live with whatever FPS max you put, i'd recommend just giving up if you go 30 or below and just wait for the patch (Tried it, and it was very bad)
  • I am sure you're aware if you have AMD Phenomenon then you won't be able to play the regardless of whether you do this or not.

I think STEP 2 & 3 did it for me, but give it a go.

ALSO GET THIS SOFTWARE CALLED SPECCY, THE CRASHING MAYBE BECAUSE YOUR GPU/CPU IS OVER-HEATING, and if this is the case then you have to get new computer all together.

Bump up for people to see this, I hope it helps guys 🙂

    Thanks for the info but unfortunately this doesn’t help. My specs are better than op, I run most of my games on mid- high graphics. (Mostly blizzard and steam games) this is the only game that gives performance issues...I’ve yet to hear any word about these crashes with no error and “no fix”. If EA has addressed this issue please provide any info that you can, thanks!

    I run a i9 9900k, 2080ti gpu, game is on my ssd, 32 gigs of RAM, MAG Z390 Tomahawk Motherboard and I crash ALL THE DAMN TIME. Its so annoying. Today I have crashed in 4 ranked games as we were doing really well and left my teammates to fend for themselves. This needs to be fixed, stat. I never had this problem until season 4. Until this season, I NEVER crashed

    I do not believe this is primarily Hardware related. They just messed up.

    I am running a Ryzen 1600X, GTX 970, 16GB RAM and Samsung SSD.

    I had no issues in Season 3 or before. Most important, I dont have any issue with other games like Overwatch, WarFrame, etc.

    Since Season 4, my whole PC freezes regulary - almost every game. It is unplayable. Which means, I have no means of going to Windows or stopping Apex. My PC just wont react and I have got to hard reset it.

    As a customer (yes, I have put money in this one) I require immediate action and a proper response!
