Stuttering issues after genesis update
The game has become impossible to play as it sttuters even on champion screem. I skip frames in fights. Cant even play arenas. I am on origin. I repaired the game with lastest nvidia drivers. Sea...
Forum Discussion
Honestly, do they really even acknowledge this 100% CPU usage bug? I've seen the trello tracker, but it hasn't been changed since when it was added on July 9th.
And it seems like its not just a tiny minority of players that are experiencing this bug. I haven't seen any updates about the issue, unless I just haven't been looking in the right places.. Anyway, does anyone have any new/recent information from devs about the bug?
They don't seem to care. My optimistic guess is that they're keeping it under the radar to fix it on season 10 and don't get more bad attention from media saying they're frying CPUs after the recent hack/servers problems. But they might just not care at all and will just leave this as it is. At least they'll lose Japanese revenue cause man they're flooding Twitter about this bug.

can confirm this one. pretty sure this is part of the reason why tokyo server (the main one, not the GCEs) which was always crowded before is now struggling to get a lobby with full 60. the other reasons are probably blatant hackers on gold to diamond and servers that crash at least once a week.

Yeah, i thought that too but who am i to know.
I honestly hope it isn't the case that they just don't care about it. I've seen English users on twitter as well as the many Japanese users talking about the issue on twitter, and the responses of the EA help twitter just seems like that most of them don't know about the issue. I've seen maybe 1 EA help person saying it's a known issue and gave the person workarounds, whilst many other replies have literally just been giving the most obvious "solutions", such as making sure video settings are at the lowest possible.
It does feel like it's affecting more Japanese users though, unless they're just more vocal about it on twitter. I wonder if there's any consistencies in PC specs from people who are affected?
- @ttkttx yeah i was trying to understand that, if there was some specs that got the problem like "all i5-7400 " something like that, but isn't everyone that puts his/her pc specs in the comment ahahahhaha but maybe this is a start knowledge to respawn ... they should pass a vote link with some CPUs so they can track the specs with problem.... or this is a random problem that came to some PCs when the genesis came out....
this is pretty bad, because i was having this problem in the Origin App, so i came to steam and the game was fixed, i've played like 6 days, then the thrillseekers event came out, in that day the cpu usage on STEAM, got fu***d too.... it's strange this happening .....
Some much needed publicity on Dexerto.com website on what we've all been calling for in season 10.
please tell me why I have stuttering in this game, I have 144hz monitor rtx 2070 ryzen 5 3600 16gb ram 3200mhz game in season 6 ran smoothly using riva tuner and fps unlocking, as of season 7 I have a problem with this game, I don't have frame spikes, I don't have 100% CPU usage but I have * stuttering, the fps are constant, every other game runs smoothly, I only have a problem with this game, does anyone know the answer to this question? I would be very grateful- @Redmattgame Finally someone talking this in midia, i feel bad and frustrated that any youtuber has talked nothing about that, i tagged a lot of people in twitter but no one make a little short comment about it in their videos, to call Respawn responsability....
Let's just hope there's a fix. I can't believe I still have Apex coins and didn't spend it because of this 100% CPU bug.
Japan we need you
- @EL-Lucky_Loco Gaming sites such as IGN,Eurogamer,Metrotechgames etc have often mentioned about performance/server issues in the game over the past few months.Youtuber's such as JMeyels,Thordan Smash, KijannaPlays (& others) have pretty much been consistant in mentioning the very same issues as well.Some Youtubers do mention that they are often in discussion with game devs & insiders who work on the game.
Fingers crossed for season 10 tomorrow though. if they dont fix that in s10 start than what we can doo? only uninstal?;p
- There's no mention of the CPU usage issue on the just-released season 10 patch notes.
@ildesertoYup nothing in next patch. Will probably have to wait another month lol.
Here is reply from a Dev
https://twitter.com/rspn_pav/status/1422192324029804545?s=20@SpectreFang "Hopefully" lol. As if the number of people running into this issue isn't getting bigger with every new update they roll out... We've been here since the Genesis update and it's been 1 month, when Season 10 drops even more people will get their CPU fried and they think it's okay to just say "we're looking into it".
I guess it's time to quit.
- @ildeserto i'm start to wish that this bug affects everyone in the game, including big streamers, so maybe in this way they do something to help us, because every time one big streamer have some issue like us, the issue get fix like 1week...
- @SpectreFang let's hope they put a stealth fix to this .... i would love to get a hidden fix that don't getting nothing lmao
- @EL-Lucky_Loco Yeah Its on low priority becuase it doesnt affect them. This game has streamer based economy so people like us are always a lower priority.
- @SpectreFang yeah, i'm trying hard, posting at all tweets that play apex and some devs post... about the problem... i saw that they forgot to put into the patch notes that octane will get a louder sound effect so i asked about the bug, but i got ignored lmao
So much for a 'new season a fresh start' probably more like 'new season same old problems'.

@Redmattgame wrote:So much for a 'new season a fresh start' probably more like 'new season same old problems'.
Yeah, pretty much.
Idk if this works but many are saying on Steam that Windows 10 has a new update for better performance in games that fixes the high CPU usage in Apex which is the KB5004296 update. Haven't tried it myself but i'm just gonna share it here.
I keep hearing various reports about potential hackers wanting to ruin the start of season 10 which sounds worrying if true.Anyway I'm off down the the bookmakers in an hour to put a bet on what the most like likely outcome will be on the start of season 10,either A)hackers ruining the start of the season or B)Not enough server capacity/too many players trying to log in like the start of season 9.
On a serious note though, here's hoping for a trouble/glee free start to season 10 though.
First time an "official" source mentions the Apex CPU issue (Apex Legends News)

@NoJamBros21I already have it installed and it didn't fix it for me. I tried it on Steam AND Origin and I'm still getting 100% CPU usage when launching the game. Been playing Battlefield V as of lately and everything runs fine (CPU is getting 40-50% CPU usage). There's something really wrong with this issue. It's just so random how and when it affects people.
In the middle of s9 It got fixed for me for 2 weeks and then it came back after the Thrillseeker update so I don't think this is related to Windows/Drivers updates...
