Every time I boot up the game on Steam it runs badly for a minute

★ Guide

Whenever I launch Apex on Steam it runs badly for a minute or two.  This means that it greatly stutters and runs at a lower framerate than it's supposed to.  It happens in both the menus and the actual game.  After it decides it wants to stop it begins running normally again and there are no further issues for the rest of the session until the game is restarted.

@jnub64 Is this Apex Exclusive?

My computer will run low frame rates at the beginning and any time the map switches. And the sound stutters.

I think it's a loading issue. After 30 seconds it always goes away.

I have a really old computer.

I think you will likely see heavy hard drive access during that time and then once loaded into RAM performance is good.

 

This is a great argument for the use of an SSD rather than a spinning drive.

 

The benefit of SSDs cannot be overstated IMHO.

@EA_Barry This issue is new, though, it's never happened before.

I would like to elaborate that I have verified my files on Steam several times to no effect.

This has been ameliorated in the most recent patch.

@jnub64 I spoke too soon, this issue still exists.
