Re: Apex legends crashing without error

I was myself experiencing a crash on startup with no error message, interrogation of the error logs and assistance from Xane at EA support, highlighted the issue was in reference to a 2d Texture error and bad_module. I presume this is in relation to the graphical nature of the main menu of the game once loaded.

A solution to the problem was to change the "r5apex" launcher in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex" to "Disable fullscreen optimisations" i found that this setting against either the origin launcher or the easyanticheat launcher did not yield any results.

To do this,

-Navigate to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex folder, (Or wherever you may have installed the game).

-Locate the "r5apex" application exe.

-Right click on the aforementioned file and go to "Properties".

-Click on the "Compatibility" tab at the top.

-Towards the bottom of the form set "Disable Fullscreen Optimisations" to TRUE, (With a tick).

This may launch your game in a windowed format, you can change this once you've launched.

I hope this helps someone out there.

    @Rusty3_UK Does not help at all. Crashing with and without this option.

    @Bubbafatty I’m a streamer and have this issue constantly, I’m even running a dual setup so I have a dedicated streaming pc. Makes no sense at all why this is happening. Removing any OC doesn’t help, I’ve even gone as far as switching to a 1080p monitor and max FPS to 60 and still nothing
