Re: Bad_module_info

Just adding my voice to the list.

I experienced this error MANY times during my first 5 hours of playtime. I tried standard troubleshooting methods such as updating drivers and Windows Updates, as well as the solutions I found in the forums like setting the .exe to disable screen optimization. 

Nothing worked.

    Hey all,

    I'm afraid I don't have an update to share from the team around this at the moment, but I combed through this discussion on the Apex subreddit and found some steps others mentioned that worked for them for this bad_Module_info error. I was hoping you can give these a try and report back on whether you had some success with them. Please include a DxDiag too if they did or didn't work.

    Here are some of the comments I found:

    "Try turning off Volumetric Lightning. No bad_module since - for me." (that's found within the game's video settings)


    "Are you running VSYNC? I changed mine down one step from Triple (unsure of name) and have never had a crash since. May be worth a look.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/axratq/nvidia_driver_41935_for_apex_legends_fixes_dxgi/ehx43fi"

    "People who are getting bad_module_info crashes try this:
    Open in-game overlay (Alt+Z)
    Stop any recordings you have enabled
    Disable in-game overlay from GeForce Experience
    This reduced the crashed drastically for me. Hope it helps you guys as well.
    Edit: Btw. The crash to desktop without error message is most likely the bad_module_info crash which you can check from the Windows Eventviewer"

    "for amd user with FX-6*** series cpu, there a fix that work for me
    step 1 - open apex legends
    step 2 - open windows services by searching "services" using the windows home button
    step 3 - stop windows audio endpoint builder (its near the bottom)
    step 4 - start windows audio (its right above audio endpoint builder)"

    @EA_Blueberry 

    "Try turning off Volumetric Lightning. No bad_module since - for me." (that's found within the game's video settings)

    I have always had this disabled.

    "Are you running VSYNC? I changed mine down one step from Triple (unsure of name) and have never had a crash since. May be worth a look.

    No, I've also tried enabling it and it still crashed. on all Vsync settings

    People who are getting bad_module_info crashes try this:
    Open in-game overlay (Alt+Z)

    I have all overlays disabled, even hardware acceleration disabled on Chrome/Discord etc

    "for amd user with FX-6*** series cpu, there a fix that work for me

    I have an Intel i3 8100


    Attaching my Dxdiag

  • @EA_Blueberry 

    List of things I have tried.

    1. Installing an older version of Windows 10
    2. Installing a multitude of different drivers
    3. Changing all video settings
    4. Disabling all Amd optimized features for game
    5. Disabling / Enabling Vsync - Disabling/Enabling Freesync
    6. Eac restart service , Low priority Etc
    7. Disabling Full screen optimization
    8. Running as Administrator (literally everything)
    9. Changing Cpu priority
    10. Capping my Fps at 75
    11. Installing Apex on a different SSD
    12. Cleaning my Ram after a crash
    13. Playing in a different Resolution, both windows and Apex
    14. Playing in a different Refresh Rate
    15. Downloading all the drivers for my Motherboard from Gigabyte
    16 . Manually uninstalling and reinstalling all the Microsoft redist packages to the latest one.
    17. Running everything on Low / off
    18. Running everything on High/On
    19. Default settings in Apex
    20. Playing in Fullscreen / Windowed / Borderless
    21. Disabling Windows firewall
    22. Disabling all Anti-Virus software

    I'm sure there are another 30 random things I've tried but still open to suggestions. Hopefully this can be patched soon.

    I will say this, before i upgraded my graphics card from an Nvidia 1050ti to this Rx580 i wasn't crashing nearly as often (but i was still crashing) not enough where i didn't dump a ton of money into this game.

    I have no problems running any other games or problems with crashes, this includes Titanfall 2

  • @LethalDF  Same for me, I've the rx580 8gb and tried everything, nothing work. I did a lot of research and seems like it's a problem with version v1709 of windows 10. Sry for my bad english

    I tried a multitude of windows 10 versions.

    When i tried the older one's without updating i was getting a memory error instead which when i searched for a solution everyone told me to update my windows... We see how well that worked out.

    @smt923 

    Are you able to update to Windows 10 1809 to see if you experience crashes on that version?

    I have 1809 and I'm still crashing to desktop.

    Versions before 1803 or 1804 causes a different error with memory tho.

    @EA_Blueberry  thank you for your quick reply. 

    I attached a DxDiag.

    Also followed your steps but didn`t solved the problem. I have this issue for a long time, weeks I can say and is a pain.

  • i have the same problem but when your technical support couldnt fixed it they blame the error on Microsoft fault..

    i played other battle royal games and never had this problem before only in this game.. is anyone trying to fix it?
