Actually working, no crashes since I changed the number of cores on my i7-9700k. Huuuge thanks
Edit 3 days after : only one crash/freeze since
You're welcome, though I apologise for you having to jump through silly hoops just to play. Don't forget to change it back when the patch is out.
Should be resolved next client patch, thanks for posting
any word on this? Hoping will be fixed by the long weekend!
Honestly not sure at this point. Given that I don't have an ETA, I'll throw out one idea that one user reported fixed their issue. He said even though -maxthreads didn't work, he changed the number of cores available to Windows to 4 (in the windows settings) and he said that it resolved the issue for him. If you're feeling ambitious, you might give it a try. Here's a link on how to do it: https://smallbusiness.chron.com...
Read morei7 9700k. got the 800 ish mb patch. not sure if that was the fix for this or not. but I crash every other game or every game now and I cant climb. kinda sad. Is the fix coming guys?. I just wanna be able to play apex.
Nope, that wasn't the fix. We are still working on getting it out ASAP, but ran into a snag.
Please push it out tomorrow, i can't take this shit anymore, I froze for 120+ games out of 260 games in season 3.
We're working on it and hoping for tomorrow, but we can't rush the update at the risk of introducing new issues. The "fix" isn't the kind where you find an obvious bug, change a few variables, and it works. This particular bug involves timing issues in the job/thread queue getting hung up, which is an extremely low level system; any changes to it need to be carefully vetted and tested across as many hardware configurations as possible, which takes time. Ideally we would have a way for players to opt-in to "beta" builds for fixes like this (like Steam has), but unfortunately we don't have that capability at present. I know none of this information helps you or anyone experiencing the issue to crash less, but I do hope the added context and clarity reduces your frustration with how long it's taking.
just got the update....i reallyyyyyyyyy hope it fixes it..i love this game but crashing every 2 games...fingers crossed..here goes :D
Update isn't out yet, I believe ETA is tomorrow but don't quote me on that
Have you found anything because I'm sick of tired of waiting for a fix. I've literally been waiting for 5 days.
Issue updated on the tracker. Fix should be incoming tomorrow.
You are looking into that one and...? You are going to fix it? Because its really annoying to crash on every 5th game. Not only for myself, also for the two other players on my team.
Issue updated on the tracker. Fix should be incoming tomorrow.
/u/Scriptacus Unfortunately this didn't work. I've had 2 total lockups since. Interestingly, one of my friends running a 8700k had exactly the same issue last night too

You have to be aware that its not 9700k like this thread suggets, it crashes on multiple AMD same way, there's alot of replies here: 3700x, 3800x, 3900x.
If you can, please try running the game with "-maxthreads 3" and report back if that solves or improves the issue.
Jumping in here too. 9700k not overclocked. Game just locks up and freezes the pc. Only a hard reset fixes it
If you can, please try running the game with "-maxthreads 3" and report back if that solves or improves the issue.
I have the same issue with an 8700k
If you can, please try running the game with "-maxthreads 3" and report back if that solves or improves the issue.
Any updates on this issue? i7-9700k here and I cant play 2-3 games without a crash happening. Really frustrating as we're all hyped on your amazing patch but I can't even play with my friends without crashing and hurting their experience as their down a guy at random times.
No specific updates, but we are aware and investigating. See https://trello.com/b/ZVrHV38P/apex-tracker for further updates.
The biggest issue is that it's really inconsistent and you can't really track down the issue. I have tried all the things that you mentioned and also tried RivaTuner to limit fps, since i saw one of BattleNonsense's video about input lag.
Only thing that i can think of is maybe high ping. I play on Singapore server where i get 70-90 ping and those servers are really shitty. Their performance is just as inconsistent as the game's performance so i am guessing that they are interrelated.
It's one of the biggest issue for me, having my mouse suddenly feel muddy throws me off so much, it's like someone lowered my sens. I use a g305 and have my game installed on SSD but i don't think that's an issue. Also play the game on all low settings.
Is this thing being looked at? If not, please consider this.
I'll forward this and see if I can dig up any additional information. The issue doesn't appear particularly widespread which might make it difficult to track down, but we'll try. Both of you mention having this issue since S2; did it begin with the release of the S2 update, or was it one of the mid-season patches?
Why do we have to report bugs in a reddit thread instead of a proper bug tracker like Phabricator? /u/Scriptacus
You don't "have to" report bugs in a reddit thread. There's also a very active EA support site as well: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/apex-legends-bug-reports-en
I respond here because the site listed above already has an army of people looking at it and getting the reports and information to the team.
As someone who has this issue and is hoping for a fix, I'm happy to put in my input. My rig is ryzen 2600, MSI gtx 1080, 16gb ram @ 3000. My avg fps before the issue was 100+, now sitting at 35 avg every game. I have attempted many things on my side to fix the issue and none have prevailed. One thing I wanted to add to the list of many things is that the GPU isn't being fully utilized. It sits around 40%. Many others have reported the same issue.
While I dont think the issue is RAM related, for your sake I ran the game with "-maxthreads 3" or "-maxthreads 4" and neither of those changed the results. I hope we can get this issue fixed, thanks for looking into it. :)
What does your CPU usage look like when the issue happens? Does the issue occur in Training?
- 32gb RAM
- "-maxthreads 4" does not change anything
- "-maxthreads 3" does not change anything
Any effect from disabling the Origin Overlay?
Will you guys also be looking into the issue with the i7 9700k? I had zero issues with season 2 and with the launch of season 3 people with i7 9700k’s have been experiencing freezing and having to restart their computer. This has been happening to users who don’t have their cpu overclocked as well as those who do have their cpu overclocked.
Yeah, we're already looking into that one
The issue starts from the moment the game loads in (Dropship) and stays throughout until leaving the game. It makes the game, and I don't exaggerate here, literally unplayable.
The settings have absolutely no impact on the extremely low FPS. Whether they are ultra or as low as possible, the FPS remains the same (35-45 when looking anywhere but at a wall)
Please ask any questions about anything and I'll reply in as much detail as I possibly can with screenshots, clips and whatnot as per your request. I'd love to help you ascertain the cause of this issue!
It is great to hear Respawn comment on this, as weeks without hearing anything is unnerving, so the reply is very welcomed.
A few more things:
1) How much RAM do you have?
2) Can you try running the game with "-maxthreads 3" or "-maxthreads 4"?

Follow this wonderful individual's guide step by step to fix the issue with Apex Legends having altered their Anti-Cheat program, which left it interfering with performance to an enormous degree.
Huge thanks for those of you that took the time to offer productive help instead of general throwaway FPS improvements and even bigger thanks to this wonderful individual who posted a method of fixing this.
ENJOY APEX! :D

The unplayable FPS bug which has been unaddressed by Respawn for roughly 2 weeks is STILL in Season 3 update. Still no word from Respawn about it either.
- PC
- Issue appeared in t...
Do adjustments to game quality settings have any effect on FPS? If so, is there are there any particular settings that seems to have a large effect?
Is the problem any better or worse at particular times during the game, or is it constant throughout the match?
For the record, we're not ignoring this issue. It appears to be effecting a small number of users, and we have been unable to reproduce it on any of our hardware so far, but we are trying.
