It's just sad that billion dollar company are unable to fix their own game, yeah it's definitely not easy, but man it's been 2 years... I wish this game could run smoothly, it would be a lot more fun and enjoying to play. And dude I have my fps locked at 138 fps, it never drops below that and I mean 100+fps should already feel smooth right? but no game just feels choppy and stuttery I don't even know how to describe this sh*t.
Same.
I personally don't get 100% CPU usage but it seems as though, since the genesis update, my stuttering is tied to whenever I get ping spikes. I usually have 2% packet loss to all the EU servers and high ping.
Before the genesis update I wouldn't have packet loss and ping between 20-30. Now I always have some packet loss and like 45-70 ping which fluctuates like crazy and causes stutters.
I've got a 2080 super, R7 3700x, NVME SSD, capped at 138fps, and playing 1440p with all the lowest settings yet I still get horrible stuttering on this game only.
913.5 MB patch out on Steam.

Another pathc and nothign has changed. I give up. This definately not going to be fixed till mid season or next season. Great job respwn. Host another tournament for your TTv's while you are at it

The update patch is nothing more than a nerf to the Prowler (bring back selectfire) & a few small bug fixes to Seer & bringing back Kings Canyon as an alternate map,as for performance/ server issues absolutely nothing,not a sausage.I managed to get several games in yesterday & today whilst the data center ping was low but as soon as the update patch was installed on my PS5 this evening all data centers were all over 100ms ping & as soon as I attempted the firing range the ping was fluctuating between 105ms - 405ms back & forth with the moving targets in the background in constant stutter mode.
New season same old problems.
I can confirm it has gotten worse, now the lobby is stuttering and freezing the GPU (CPU at 100% as usual).
It started with Genesis update, but then after one week it disappeared until the new season Emergence.
So I believe it must be on the server side because it only happens when I start a game or when switching game modes. (code:net errors, high ping, prediction errors...)
I was considering buying this battle-pass season but not in this state. Respawn should take a whole season fixing and optimizing the game.
Look at what this game does to my cpu. I had stutters but not this much CPU usage.
I made a thread on Reddit again. Hopefully, they'll notice it. It's been 45 mins and only 4 upvotes lmao. Main sub doesn't care about such things.
Uninstalling Geforce experience made it better for me
anyone saw anything different on Apex Trello? i didn't check it in the last week

still investigating lol
Did you guys notice something apart from the high cpu usage? I asked my friends (they don't have this problem on their PCs) yesterday about their disk usage, and they said apex uses about 0.5/1.2 MB/s. Then I checked back one of the screenshots I made and boom, apex used 44-50 MB/s of hdd. But why? What's the reason? So alongside high cpu usage, there's an abuse of our HDD/SDD. I wonder what they could be doing while writing on our disk with that speed?

mine is on 90-120 mb/s (SSD) at first im thinking of it as "the game is just preloading things" but who knows.
Hey guys, so after i wrote those comments, i uninstalled geforce experience, then windows prompted an update (KB5005033). I installed it, and now the game isn't using as much cpu or disk as it did in those screenshots. Stuttering reduced. I am not sure if this is going to last or if it's a fix. I am treading carefully. Hopefully the residue of stuttering that's still in there gets patched as well. Please report back if you did these steps and let me know if your cpu/disk usage is less drastic.
1- Uninstall Geforce exp.
2- Install windows cumulative update 21h1 or 20h2 (KB5005033). It's about 600 MB.
Disclaimer: This is not a fix by Respawn, and I think the problem is going to get back as long as Respawn does not patch it. Yes, it reduces stutters, the game becomes a little playable as opposed to earlier, but I do not trust this will forever fix the game's inherent bugs. So Respawn needs to step in to fix this for good. But try this and report back please!
Being the sucker that I am, I cleaned out all my cached files and did a fresh install... 100% CPU but I thought I would try it. Already uninstalled again... absolutely unplayable... same exact computer that was playing it fine prior to Genesis but I don't know... aliens I guess..
