Patch for this issue should be live now
From Scriptacus on Reddit yesterday, 10/8/19.
"We're working on it and hoping for tomorrow, but we can't rush the update at the risk of introducing new issues. The "fix" isn't the kind where you find an obvious bug, change a few variables, and it works. This particular bug involves timing issues in the job/thread queue getting hung up, which is an extremely low level system; any changes to it need to be carefully vetted and tested across as many hardware configurations as possible, which takes time. Ideally we would have a way for players to opt-in to "beta" builds for fixes like this (like Steam has), but unfortunately we don't have that capability at present. I know none of this information helps you or anyone experiencing the issue to crash less, but I do hope the added context and clarity reduces your frustration with how long it's taking."
To fix this problem, you can either limit the number of cores in your bios to 4 or less, which I have verified to work over the past couple days without a single freeze. See more here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Apex-Legends-Crash-no-error-PC-apex-crash-txt/td-p/7766168/page/80
Or if you don't want to completely eliminate half your processor cores for all your programs. You can narrow the limitation to just Apex by setting the affinity of the Origin.exe process in the Windows Task Manager to 4 or 5 cores as posted by @ELMONEEKERI69. I have not had a chance to thoroughly verify this method. See more here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Apex-Legends-Crash-no-error-PC-apex-crash-txt/td-p/7766168/page/83
I've tested https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Apex-Legends-Crash-no-error-PC-apex-crash-txt/td-p/7766168/page/83 Task Manager -> Set Affinity solution and can confirm that it works indeed. 15 games in row with zero crashs so far.
I prefer using this over turning off half of CPU cores though BIOS and suggest using this workaround until proper hotfix will be released.
reducing number of cores to 4 fixed it for 10 games but my PC just crashed again so I don't think it's a fix
9600k
16gb ddr4 3200
gtx 1080ti
It's not a fix, just a workaround that delays crashes for couple games, so it hangs not every 2-3d game but every 10th, etc.
Still waiting for proper bugfix from Respawn.
318MB patch auto-installed through Origin today, game feels smoother (as in I don't get the pre-crash jitters yet). Game hasn't crashed yet... anyone know what today's patch addresses? (October 14th)
