Same here...
Part 1 is the state of my game and Part 2 is what i tried to fix it, so kinda tldr, but you shoud read anyways cause i think i described it pretty good.
Part 1:
The game was fluid as always ( 2080ti, i9900, 32ram, ssd and so on) then i went to bed and the game started to do stuff it usually didnt in the loading process.
so first of all the EA sign part felt like 30 fps with stutters, then the next screen lagt a little.
The part with the Database and the continue button was kinda normal but sometimes it stutters too.
and then in the next screen hell lets loose i swear... black screen, the red Apex Logo in the bottom right is lagging my fps start at over 3000 and go down and down and down and down ...
until its at 300/200/100/90 etc and then finally at 6-7 fps, while the whole screen is lagging..
This screen there takes 10 times longer to load then it would do usually.
Finally in the Lobby the Legend takes some time to load in with the lowest settings... while the fps drop all the time and go crazy, i get freezes ... after 10 seconds the textures go a stage higher, from lowest to low and after again 10 seconds they go to mid and so on to the best, though its getting faster in every step....
I figured out i can skip all of this bs by going in the settings the second i get in the lobby and set all the visuals to the default options...
But it wont help at all...
the game runs "good" i think in the training mode or at least better then in the normal arena!
The thing is the textures arent loading in as fast as they used to do!
In the plane it seems fine at first, btw the char selection is messed up too^^, but when i get close to the island and the textures start to load the game stutters and the fps drop.
The Textures go wild, blending in like described in the lobby, one stage at a time... and moving on the ground is unplayable in ranked with my preferred settings!
I tried to set all settings on low, the Textures dont load then one stage after the other cause they stay on lowest, makes sense eh? but the stutter is still there, the fps drops...
I mean i got 12 kills anyway with that problem in the test game i tried on lowest but it feels bad to play the game like that with all the Stutter and drop.
Part 2 :
SOO heres a list of what i tried
Reinstall Apex
Reinstall Origin
Unpluged everything and made sure everything inside my PC is in place
Deleted PayDay 2 ( cause i downloaded it yesterday before i went to sleep, dkw lol)
installed latest Windows Updates
Used DDU to delete and reinstall my GPU drivers
Deleted GPU Tweek2
Deleted Nvidia Experience cause its not needed anyways
Checked my GPU, its fine
My Ram are fine
My whole PC is fine i checked everything via all sorts of checks which took me 2h
Deletet a lot of other steam games
Cleared my Registry
Cleared IP DNS in case its some thing strange
I found this post and now im pretty sure its not "our" fault the games runs like this for us..
Anyways i will delete all the textures in the folders and repair apex via origin and see if it gets me somewhere
And then ill reinstall the framework stuff i guess...
If i accomplish something ill let you know 🙂
