Dear Devs
I am writing this because I am one of the people who would very much enjoy and love your new game APEX LEGENDS, however currently I am not enjoying your game because it keeps crashing non-stop WITH NO ERROR and not because I have a crappy PC, or AMD Phenom Processor, or as you've recently said in your patch "Extended timeout that was causing players with slower hard drives to crash", but because your game is just broken.
I have tried multiple methods to rectify this problem, from moving it from my HDD to my SSD, lowering graphic settings, updating and downgrading my graphics card, running it as admin, applying "+fps_max 60" and/or "+fps_max100" in advanced settings, uninstalling origin and re-installing it, changing its windows compatibility, repairing it and updating it, turning off all overlays (Discord, origin, amd catalyst), and many more.
JUST HURRY UP AND FIX YOUR DAMN GAME ALREADY, FAR OUT!
Sorry devs just needed to get this out of my system because I am completely frustrated nothing personal .
PC Specs:
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290
Driver Software: 19.2.2 Adrenalin 2019
Windows: Windows 10, Version 1809
Motherboard: ASrock Z97 Pro4
CPU: i5-4690k 3.50 GHz
RAM: 8GB
SSD (Apex is in this drive): KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162
Sincerely, Someone who wants to play your game but can't because its effing unplayable.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Okay so i've managed to play 2 days straight (20+ Hours) with solid gaming sessions with only 1 crash and its very promising. (Better than crashing literally every 2nd game)
This might be a hassle but if you follow these steps it may also help you out.
This is what I did:
1. Put all graphic setting AS LOW AS POSSIBLE on apex. ALSO PUT THE ADAPTIVE RESOLUTION FPS TARGET MINIMUM 50 (mine is on 50), if your still crashing try increasing it.
2. Go to your task manager and sort the tasks by name, I ended any processes relating to AMD softwares (like 4 things that had the name either 'Radeon: ....' or 'AMD ....')
3. Put Easy Anti Cheat on low priority --> Do this by task manager ---> Details ---> Find and right click Easy Anti Cheat --> Priority then put it as low.
4. You have to experiment with the +fps max through the advanced launch options. Mine mainly stopped crashing around 45/50. I started at 80 and kept going down by 5 until it didn't crash anymore. (So in short I put in the advanced launch options "+fps max 45")
5. I turned off ALL OVERLAYS. For me the overlays I turned off were:
6. Compatibility mode is on WINDOWS 8, and i've also ticked the 'Run as administrator box'
Side Notes:
I think STEP 2 & 3 did it for me, but give it a go.
ALSO GET THIS SOFTWARE CALLED SPECCY, THE CRASHING MAYBE BECAUSE YOUR GPU/CPU IS OVER-HEATING, and if this is the case then you have to get new computer all together.
Bump up for people to see this, I hope it helps guys

hi i maybe fix this problem by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex right click on r5apex and click properties....go to the compatability tab and tick the (disable full screen optimisations)...I have done this and it have been working for me for 5 game at least...i hope it works for you
IF this didnt work try turning off wallpaper engine if you have it installed on your pc because my friends game work after they turned it off

I would just like to say, with someone who has over 30 hours play time, i've finally fixed it for myself.
I used to crash every few games and it could be at the begining middle or end game, did not matter.
Im not the best technology wise so i did not edit my files or repair drives or anything like that, and i have a potato pc lol
ANYWAYS THE SOLUTION
For me i did two things, but the main one is alt-tabbing. Anytime i alt tab i restart my game completely. and this seems to have stopped the crashing. I have not had a single crash since I've done this.
On my other pc (divorced parents) I have a two monitor set up. With this one, i just changed all of the video settings back to default. Even with a pre-built potato from Microcenter i still get about 100 fps which is plenty for a PC shooter
Just try this, maybe even both. and if you ever do alt tab, just make sure you completely close out of your game then open it back up. worked wonders for me!

idk if this helps at all but i have an i5 2500k and a rx 570 4gb i get an average of 70 to 80 fps 100+in a good amount of areas in this game. i like this game a lot but i literally cannot play a match without being flung to the desktop. love this game but ive done everything to try to fix it and nothing helped. it'd be nice to pay this game without crashing.
