High or maxed out CPU usage (100%), happened from nowhere. I was playing and I started to notice that I had lag the first day, so I quit playing. The second day I started playing without any issues, about 1hr in I started noticing the same problem as the first day. My frames were still as they should be (around 120-144fps) but all registration in the game was extremely off. If I shot someone it would register half a second later, If I'd grapple with Pathfinder the grapple would stutter once or twice and it connects weird and delayed. Same with jumping, sometime's I get half the jumping height, it's really weird and it's really hard to describe.
Then I noticed in task manager that my CPU was working 100% with Apex being the problem (the same with Origin).
I see posts, videos and other forums talk about this everywhere but very few have the luck of fixing it, I'm still stuck with my favourit game being unplayable.
I've tried:
• Re-installing the game
• Down prioritizing the game for the CPU
• Tinkering with video-settings
Pls halp...
Solved! Go to Solution.

4-core processor ?
I fixed my stuttering issues by lowering my screen refresh rate to 100Hz, works fine for me and others

Use Rivatuner cuts a big chunk out of your cpu and gpu usage

@T0toro21Yes, 4-core. The thing is I've played like this since day one of Apex (release day). Same setup today as then and no resent patches had been pushed. It happened suddenly, after 1hr-ish of playing from nowhere :/ But I will try!

Same here, it has to do with Nvidia/Windows and obviously their need to get those 4-core processor obsolete.
I even changed my RAM, MB and Graphic card but none of that seems to be related with that problem
Changing my screen setting to 100Hz has been the only workaround for me, and gosh believe me I tried them all...

Hey @Nrg_topmodeLL
Have you already tried to do a clean boot and see if that changed anything?
Sometimes background programs can interfere with Apex Legends and reduce the performance.
Can you attach a DxDiag file to your post so I have a bit more information about your system?
