I7 9700K

32GIG DDR4 3600

1660TI

Ive tried, re installing, messing with settings, reloading, i update drivers... but since im seeing so many other ppl are having the SAME EXACT ISSUE... my hope would be the EA's wrking on a fix..

I think i finally found the fix to 100%CPU bug

My steps to fix it :
1. After update complete, open the game just stay at lobby for 15 - 30 minutes (you can just alt tab or doing something)
2. Play 1 game (either ranked / arena / trios)
3. die soon / tryhard to win
4. exit to desktop, relaunch the game, wait for 15 minutes again in the lobby
5. repeat step 2 - 3
6. My CPU went from 100 to 30 in lobby now

Seeing the errors at the bottom of your Dxdiag report, you should probably run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files:

Thanks.

Ok, but those errors have always been there... it says apex is at 90-100% in my task manager... ill still run the check... What you are failing to realize, is that Im not the only one with this problem.... there are threads everywhere with people saying they have high cpu usage after the update..... so I can almost guarantee that this is a server side problem... not client, since many many ppl are having the issue... you really should report this to your higher ups so they can fix whatever is causing it

I'm having the same issue after the update.

I disabled Anti-aliasing and the CPU usage went down.

They broke something and EA is refusing to acknowledge any fault and just blames it back on the users. Awesome support.

right now a lot pp get cpu 100% and cant play apex so i dont think its window system anymore 

[kirwby]

This error occurred after the apex legend genesis update

As a symptom of the error, the CPU usage is fixed at 100%,It loads with a black screen and crashes in the middle

How to deal with the symptom

This issue started when I updated Apex Legends Season 9. When I updated and entered the game I saw this error 100% CPU and when I entered the game it immediately dropped out of the game. please tell me how to fix it

Seriusly, this is BAD! YOU have LARGE FORUM threads of people telling you they have the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and yet HERE YOU GUYS ARE, "send me your DXDIAG/... IM A PC TECH. I deal with this stuff everyday.. THIS IS A SERVER SIDE ISSUE 100% , id be willing to bet my life savings..

[WaShi988]

My two friends have same issue too.

This symptom has lasted for more than two days.

It's more worse than encounter an aim-bot in a game because it might cause damage to my computer with 100% CPU loading for long time...
