Hello, I've been playing Apex normally for 9 seasons and lately is unplayable for me. Started using 100-120% cpu in game also in main menu which is crazy. Before this season my usage was around 60-80%. Idle temperature is 29°C while playing 43°C. Usage in other games like league of legends has 40%, cs2 50-70% or gta 5 70%. If anyone has similar problem or suggestions, please comment. I think I did everything in order to fix it here's a list:

  • reinstalled windows
  • reinstalled chipset/lan/audio drivers
  • reinstalled gpu drivers with DDU and nvcleanstall
  • updated bios
  • deleted shader cache from nvidia
  • deleted my own videoconfig
  • verified integrity of game files
  • applied new thermal paste

PC: i5 8400, GTX 1060 6gb

I have other PC in my house with i5 9400f and gtx 1660. Apex eats 100% of the cpu there too.

EDIT: Respawn is aware of this issue

Had some additional reports come in for this as well. Flagged and added to Trello. Team is investigating.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FOR OVER 6 MONTHS
I CANT ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS

Recent increase in reports brought it back to the surface, so flagged on as many relevant threads as I could find in case folks are still impacted.
