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..

i don't know you guys, but someone noticed that after the other 2 games came to the map rotation, the stuttering get worse then ever? i think something with KC is causing this, thinking about it makes sense because everything started with the Genesis that brought back the first KC, maybe some File from it is causing the problem.... 

CPU=100%

Disk=100%

Seems to me like this game is getting more sus day by day.

duuude it's completely unplayable when the rotation comes to KC completely!!!!

This is interesting... I had 100% CPU usage, then I reinstalled Apex on my SSD and now I have 100% CPU and 100% GPU usage. 😂 

I believe the only thing we can do to help is to provide more specific data and better descriptions. I propose two options:

1 OPTION : to present info in this way, a list with the problems we encounter divided by sections (Lobby, Arenas, Battle Royale, others) use short sentences.

• LOBBY
  • Game stutters only when switching modes for the first time (selection screen).
  • Game stutters only when map rotates.
  • CPU 100% usage only in lobby and first games.

• ARENAS:
  • I can play arenas but the 2D UI to select a legend won't appear until the second game of arenas.
  • When playing first game of arenas until the third round, my game stutters, it has high ping, prediction errors, low fps ...
  • After a third round of arenas CPU goes back to 16-20% and GPU has micro spikes which disappear after a while.
  • A second game of arenas will play with some of the above errors.
  • A third game of arenas will not display any error.
  • If map is phase runner and it is first time playing, portal animations won't load (maybe it's correlated to some error in this list).
• BATTLE ROYALE
  • Similar to arenas but with bigger problems as the map is bigger, it feels like every time the game loads a new asset (3d, 2d, effects..) it stutters.
  • Sometimes ping goes to 500ms due to stuttering.
  • Code net: error, is highly probable on first game when new map is loading.
  • Every map rotation causes the above errors again.

2 OPTION: to use technical software to gather more accurate data and post result is this forum, as the file that I'm attaching.

The program I'm using is System Analyzer by Intel. As an example I've been able to discover that the Pixel Shader starts killing samples after selecting firing range. Always present info with timestamps, game screens or indications about when something is happening as in my example, and don't forget to include your specs. My chart has been already been seen by a Community Manager and has been sent to devs.

@TrueTripleHWhilst your comment maybe a novel idea no matter how specific or more descriptive people are when commenting on these forums,social media etc persistent & problematic issues have been affecting this game for months many which still haven't been fixed & so I wouldn't envisage the options you mention would make much difference tbh.If there is an inability or unwillingness to fix these issues in the game already then better word selection won't make much of a difference.Many of us forum members as well as Youtubers have commented in the past that EA & game devs never tend to respond unless Pro Players & social media commentators are in outrage at aspects of the game.Also there is the small issue that many players may not be as tech savvy like players such as yourself (you kind of lost me at pixel shaders).Gauging by your comments it suggests your a PC player whilst I am a console(s) player & so recording & reporting data,CPU usage which isn't so easy for console players like me.

Apex Youtuber Omega commenting that EA Help are calling for fellow Apex players to give feedback on their gaming experiences & missing game content by sparing 60 mins & completing a questionnaire.The main question is will they actually listen to peoples issues.Omega also mentions about Seer's nerfing patch due out next week & an outpouring fan support calling for Events to be scrapped in Season 11 wanting the devs to soley focus on fixing all the various issues affecting the game & the firing of a Respawn dev.
