Texture Corruption after breach midseason update 24 March 2026

Apex is unplayable after an update broke the game for my configuration which has worked for 6 months. I experience severe texture corruption on Nvidia GRID drivers 539.64 and 581.80 both after complete clean reinstalls of the game and Nvidia drivers tested with both Nvidia drivers running on stock settings.

It is not a faulty hardware problem, I can play much more demanding games like Battlefield 6 with this config for hours without issue or crashes.

I am using an Nvidia Tesla V100 with a GTX 1070ti with NVcleanstall telling the grid drivers to treat the 1070ti as both a Tesla P4 for 539.64 and as another tesla V100 for 581.80.

Ansel is disabled, HDCP is disabled and MSI interrupts are on

The game launched and ran perfectly for 6 months with this configuration up until the update on 24 March 2026 and now whenever I launch the game the textures appear like in the attachment. I can still move around the menu and play the game but the textures are extremely corrupted.

    Confirming this is still broken after the patch on April 1 2026. Have tried multiple versions of the Nvidia GRID drivers from 53X.XX to 58X.XX

    This is still broken as of early May 2026. I enquired with Nvidia and they informed me that Volta and Pascal architectures are no longer being supported as part of their grid driver offering and they would be unable to assist. After asking a couple of AI models what they thought the problem could be it told me that Apex Legends changed to using Specular Ambient Occlusion in the update on 24 March and the GRID drivers do not know how to handle it. I am begging the apex team to add a launch option to use the old ambient occlusion model or look in to any way that they can modify specular AO to not bug out on GRID drivers. I really don't want to buy a new GPU as this one still runs apex at 1440p low 200+ fps :(
