Stuttering/freezes and skiping shader cache
I am writing to seek assistance with a persistent issue I have been experiencing while playing Apex Legends. Previously, at the start of the game, the shader caches would load, and there would be ...

I feel like this aswell, they don't really acknowledge any performance issues even though there's been a lot of reports after quads update in season 21.
Got same issues here - even though my system is rather old (i7 3770k + rx 580), I used to comfortably run the game at around 110-120 fps which was just enough for me, but after that update, my game has been constantly stuttering and showing me starvation errors all the time. and fps dropping down to 50. I really hope someone could reply to our reports so we know we aren't talking to walls, even if they just tell us that it's normal that game has became more demanding and we should just upgrade.
I was hoping this season's DX12 update would help, but the game doesn't even want to turn on with the DX12 launch option.
I got some news !
Yesterday there was a new nvidia driver to install so it was a good time to look at how the game behaves wth new shaders compilation.
It was the same as what i explained in my last post above :
- 1st game : huge freezes and the game didn't succed to launch. I had an error before seen the team screen.
- 2nd game : same but with an error just before the map appeared... and...
I finally appeared still with my team !... but with terrible stutters (like 0.5 fps in fights).. making the game totally unplayable.
...
game after game it became less jerky, just as if the game was slowly memorising the graphics (shaders ?) of the 3D elements i went around.
Around the 6th game I was able to play "near to" normally again.
and today...
BIG NEWS (for me) !...
I don't really know what happened today... i see 2 possibilities :
- There was a fix update yesterday evening or today ?
- Or the shaders that seemed to be compiled in the game and caused stuttering... are compiled "once and for all" on the hard drive/SSD ? (until the next new nvidia or Apex update).
But I've just played with a friend... and had very few stutters. the fights was "near to normal" from the very first game we played.
I still don't have great fps but it's still a very good improvement after these last weeks nearly not able at all to play Apex.
I hope it'll be the same for you all around that got the same problem as me since this damned Quad update.
