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...

I'm having stutter since season 9.
Ryzen 3600
16gb ram
1660 Super
m2 SSD
Pinned it down to VRAM of the GPU filling up (bugging out) on textures.
No matter which texture setting I choose, my VRAM gets filled 100%. (6GB)
During gameplay textures are often loaded incorrectly. (while on higher settings)
Completely turning off textures resolves my issue, but makes the game look terrible.
Reinstalling all my Nvidia drivers 2 weeks ago also resolved it temporarily, however it came back today after the small patch...
Going to clear the shader cache in hope this helps.
@li1quid It sounds like you either have some bad files in your Nvidia cache or DirectX cache. Unfortunately, the other problem that I see when you use your GPU and load a lot of the memory and get crashes is when you have a defective part of your GPU's memory. You can see that if you do a GPU memory test. It will run thru the entire GPU memory and if it crashes everytime in the same place, bad news, but a 1660 Super should be under warranty. Clear the caches and see if that helps. You will see that Apex rebuilds the textures when upon your first run. It takes a couple of minutes. Might take a little more on your 3600 and 1660. In the game, you do not want to set the texture pool higher than 4GB because of your 1660. Especially if you have other things open like Shadowplay, Instant Replay, stream software, etc. Also look at your CPU usage. Change the view to show all cores. If you max out your FPS to 150+, you will probably see that one of your cores hits 100%, even though overall, your CPU usage says much less in total like 30%. When that one core hits 100% you get stutter. Clear up your cache since that can't hurt, but you might have the same issues as a lot of us related to a high usage core. That started happening around Season 9 and Genesis. Can't get fixed until Dev makes their code like it used to be which was a lot more multithreaded friendly. (prior to Season 9)
@lPumpsDadl I doubt my GPU is the real issue here. No other game I play has any issue whatsoever and tooling suggest my GPU is fine.
Viewing core usage separately is a good tip! I'll keep an eye out for that.
Just removed all the shader cache and hope this evenings game session runs smoothly.
I know I don't have a top of the range system, but it should run Apex just fine.
Patch
in my case, fps, I don't have 100% drops in gpu and cpu and I have micro-stuttering, so I don't know what's going on
- @li1quid I was just suggesting you check your GPU since you mentioned you could reproduce your issue every time when using your GPU ram. If you clear out the three caches I listed, hopefully one of those files was corrupted and it gets fixed by being rebuilt. We're all in the same boat. We can run all other games great, and even Apex has always ran great, but now it doesn't for all of us. The bottom-line is that in it's current state, it shouldn't need the resources it uses, but the facts are there that it does now. It hogs on memory and now needs more than 8GB system memory to optimally load the game. If you have a strong GPU but a weaker CPU, you will be in a world of hurt with the high single CPU core issue. If you are not on an SSD, you will feel pain every time you load the game since it loads all 5GB-6GB of data from your drive to system memory. Non-SSD players won't be able to play a good match for 4-5 minutes. The game is just really bad right now from an optimization point of view.
