Re: Apex Legends won't launch properly

Yeah, I use MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner to cap fps and show some performance stuff. It fixed itself yesterday somehow. I did not change a thing, so idk why it works now. I still use MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner, didnt even update them or anything.

So yeah, my conclusion is that I don't know what was wrong and I don't know why it suddenly works now, I doubt that's gonna help someone, but your solution with switching off Afterburner overlay is worth a try because I didn't even think about that

  • I figured out after some tests that some changes in Rivatuner do this in APEX, and I don't know why.

    But if you just reset all RIvatuner configs, the problem stops.

    Started happening again to me. Got rid of my CPU overclock, everything is in auto/default now, I just enabled "Relaxed EDC throttling" and "AMD Cool'n'Quiet" in BIOS. I don't think it was problem even before tbh, but I tried Prime95 stress test with Small FFTs for like 5 minutes with overclock and without overclock and PC doesn't crash, so that really wasn't a problem I think. I tried to update MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner, that didn't help, tried to reset Rivatuner settings, that didn't help either and now I'm not even using MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner anymore and Apex still crashes during loading screen. I tried verifying game files and it showed that one was missing, but it might have been videoconfig I deleted or something and now it said that game files are ok and it still doesn't work. I also scanned and repaired system files using command "sfc /scannow" and it found some stuff and repaired them, running for second time said everything is okay and Apex still crashes.

    Anyone any ideas ?

  • Okay, so it might have been Eset Antivirus, but I am not sure. When it first started happening I tried to turn antivirus off completely and problem was still there, but I noticed that even if you turn off everything in antivirus there is still one antivirus service running and I just could not disable it. I disabled most of the services I didn't recognize/need and I uninstalled Eset. Now it works again, but let's see for how long...

    I'm still using my autoexec, read-only videoconfig and launch commands and I'm still using MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner and performance Nvidia control settings for Apex. I'm just leaving it there to let others know that my problem wasn't related to these things and my cpu overclock was safe too.
