Re: Game just freezes at boot-up and after every match EA APP PC.

Hey @Bananqtz 

It's possible that some store assets might be bugged, try deleting the assets folder in this directory: %userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex

Once you start the game, it'll redownload these assets and it should hopefully resolve the issue.

  • it didn't help me at all. still the same problem. I found that if I leave it, it will unfreeze after one minute. then i get always error and game will start but... when i start match everything is fine and after every match i have same problem like when i start game. after match 1 minute freeze + eror and everything is again fine... this happens after every match and when i start the game. this is happening after today's mini update. yesterday, after the big update, everything was fine. today after the mini update there is this problem.

    From what I'm seeing in the video it seems like it perfectly mimics the behaviour when there are corrupted store/game assets.

    Could you try moving all the folders in this directory to somewhere else: %userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex

    Keybinds and other settings are also stored in those folders, hence why you'll temporarily need to move them if you want to keep those settings backed up.

    Play a few games after doing so and see if it persists.

    Repairing the game via the game launcher or reinstalling  the game won't touch the files in the previously mentioned directory, hence why you have to move or delete them manually from that directory.

  • @XHelperZ  it didn't help me at all. still the same problem. I already tried it yesterday when you wrote to me.

  • You are not alone. I have the same issue. The game freezes on start and after each match is completed
