Re: Apex legends crashing without error

Still get random crashes on lobby, ingame, on character selection...

1. Tried reverting windows build.
2. Using newest and old drivers
3. deactivating all overlays
4. playing outside from discord (which helps but was only one time) and ts3
5. capping fps to 60,80 and 90.
6. assigning more priority to the game
7. All on low settings.

So my conclusion is (specially after watching this post) that is not on our end is on your end EA. This is the first time i see something like this on the gaming industry, a 1 week release game this amount of people with problems and no constant or barely constant feedback to the community to ATLEAST show us that you are working on it or gathering information needed.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT STILL HAVE PROBLEMS:

Try these solutions ONE AT A TIME and plz report back if any of them helped you.

For me it was 1, 2, 3 that worked.

1. Uninstall  OBS Studio and Streamlabs and any similar streaming software. (Yes even if you don't use it)

2. Run Borderless windows

3. Use Nvidia driver 417.35

4. AMD user activate Chill in Catalyst and cap frames at 80

5. Try DISABLING ALL Notifications in Origin, yes all of them + disable Origin in game (Application Settings/Origin In-Game)

AND Right Click Apex Legends in Origin and select Game Properties and deselect "Enable Origin In Game for Apex Legends"

6. If that doesn't work, MAKE A NEW WINDOWS PROFILE and try the game from the new profile, but FIRST disable Origin in game + all notifications (you have to do this for each account in windows) + the other thing mentioned above.

7. Update you soundcard drivers

I've now played 50+ games with no crashes.

(I have both cpu+gpu overclocked, I'm running Discord with H/W acceleration, watching Twitch at the same time etc. no crashes.)

Ofc. I don't think this will work for everyone, but it has at least helped 6-7 ppl already here on the forums since yesterday.

Since it was OBS Studio that had to be removed for me, it might be a codec/sound card related problem.

Maybe try playing with soundcard disabled and/or upgrade your drivers to your soundcard just to troubleshoot.

Anyway Good luck!

@Mioracle  OBS and Windoned worked for me, but, when i restart my pc, the problem come back.

Now i will try the other options thanks for your help 🙂

The game just updated when I launched Origin.  About an 800mb patch.  Maybe we will see some improvement.

Still crashing, seemingly more now. Uninstalled until they fix this.

I have identical problem random crashes to dekstop without any error prompts. I have had this problem since the start, but rarely, every few games, now it is happening every game, its jus unplayable right now.

My spec

i5-3570k 4.2Ghz (OCD)

Yeah, 800MB patch and nothing changed for me either.
Additionally I more often get the "connection to server timed out" - error when waiting for the other 60 players to join the game.

Still crashes when trying to pick up a gun (even in training) after this latest Valentine's day patch today.

I have the same problem as you I tried everything but nothing ,

I hope that they will help us with this problem soon ☹️

Played through 1 game(First match I won wooo), 2nd game it freezed for 5 seconds and crashed, same with 3rd try, no errors on crash come up, patch didn't fix this sadly.

It's so random...happens a lot while jumping from the plane.

I do get an error(Shown in attachment both times, same one, times check out) in the event viewer.

Windows fully updated(W10)

AMD drivers fully updated

Nothing running in the background

I was crashing once every other game after the patch earlier today, but I did 5, then 4 on this list and it still crashed.  Then I did borderless window mode and I haven't had a crash in over 2 hours.  I've had one 5-second freeze on the dropship but that's it so far.

It seems like it has a lot to do with programs so the new windows account should be a potential solution over there , my personal experience was the lower fps the lower chance of crashing.

CPU: i5-6600

GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB

RAM: 16 GB

OS: Windows 10

Patch: 1.03

With this setup im getting crashes every or every other game with no error, tried all the recent "fixes"(new/old drivers, reg fix, settings fix, compability fix, reinstall in different location, uninstall audio/video programs, overlay fix).

Changing GPU to my old Geforce 1050ti makes the game not crash anymore.

When reading about the problem, most ppl that are affected seem to have AMD CPU/GPU or Geforce 1080 or better.

My test has been setup this way:

1. Game crashing almost every game for several days with RX 580.

2. Swap GPU to 1050ti, no crash for 24h of playing.

3. Apex Legends patched to 1.03.

4. Swap back to RX 580, getting crash almost every game again.

5. Swap to 1050ti again, no crash for 24h of playing.

Test result is clear, swap out AMD hardware.
