i had a huge fps boost with dx12 and freeze problem solved, the non present reticle while ads is solved put the 1080 resolution

As I mentioned in the German forum, vsync workes with some settings in the Nvidia Profile Inspector.

1. "Creat new profile", name it Apex Legends DX12

Spoiler

2. "Add application to current profile", locate the r5apex_dx12.exe (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Apex)

Spoiler

3. Turn Vsync on

Here it should now also be possible to enable Gsync, but I have not tested this yet.

#Addendum
Gsync works when set as in the following image:

My latest tests have shown that DX12 works perfectly with RTSS as it is now!
Regarding this, I have written a good tutorial here:

The crosshair will disappear when playing the game in 1920x1080 on 2k monitor.

I haven't tried other combinations, but I think this problem will occur as long as the game resolution does not correspond to the monitor resolution

Hi, just wanna give some feedback after some hours on DX12 Version on the game, there are my specs :

3070 SUPRIM

10700KF + AIO

1000W PLATINUM PSU

All is updated to this day (drivers)

I play 1440p full low / EXCEPT BUDGET STREAMING TO MAX 8GB AND MODEL DETAIL ULTRA/

VSYNC DOUBLE BUFFERING/ REFLEX ULTRA + BOOST

/NO OC / NO THROTTLING

Now i can tell i have more fps with DX12 version of apex, but in ship i have this issue :

- like a 70 fps lock,  suddenly disapear and come back to 144.

Now on the ground i have 0 issue so far , except this one :

- Fps drop more than before with gaz, smoke, catalyst abilities, more stutters when it appears too.

Normally on DX11 i have some drops too with gaz and sometimes banga smoke, wich is bad for my Pretty big spec for full low, but DX12 make it worse in this case, but generally out of that i got better overall performances.

You May take a look at FPS 1% LOW too, i think its less stable on DX12 too but not sure, we need more data and just not only mine. 1% low result un frametime issues sometimes, less smooth or stutter even with high fps.

After theses 2 BIG issues i didnt noticed something wong by my side.

And if you read me please add dlss or FSR if its possible, even in 1 year its still okay because fps drop sometimes in DX11 too with gaz ,smoke, catalyst, and in full low with my spec its very very sad. 

Thanks team for the great job on the game !

I'm running a very high-end, optimized PC:

13900K    5.8 GHz all-p-cores , 0 AVX offset, 4.6GHz all-e-cores, 5.2GHz ring

RTX 4090 FE   133% power target, +75 core, +500 mem

32 GB DDR5  7400 MHz 34-45-45-28 & other tight subtimings

Biggest issue thus far is that even with this PC, there's intermittent stutter that will hopefully get resolved with maturity.

I haven't really had any other issues thus far.... well except for the fact that the game is literally unplayable since about a week (likely EAC related):

Hi,

Apex is the only game I play so I wanted to give some feedback on DX12 beta. Additionally, it looks like all Intel Arc GPU users are experiencing the same exact issues (do CTRL+F "arc" in this thread or see this thread). Intel support has mentioned that these issues are with Apex and not with their drivers.

My specs (laptop):

• Intel Arc A370M (4GB), running latest Beta drivers 31.0.101.3959
• 12th Gen Intel i5-12500H, ~2.5GHz
• 16GB RAM
• Windows 11

Issues:

1. less than 1 FPS in Main Menu, lobby, Legend Selection Process, loading screens etc. It feels like a slideshow and every action takes 10s to respond. Game is very unstable during these moments, game crashes occur often during these moments. This makes it an absolute pain to get into a match or to get to the next match after completing one.
2. In a match (i.e. about to drop from the dropship and onward): the game is very smooth, much smoother than DX11. I'm running capped (triple buffered) at 60fps. However:
   1. No reticle when ADSing (looks like this is an issue that occurs when game resolution doesn't match native desktop resolution)
   2. No lighting effects on players (enemies appear very dark and it's difficult to see them)
   3. No outlining on loot (i.e. colored glow on attachments to show its rarity is absent.) and deathboxes

Resolving the 1fps menu/lobby issue alone would be a huge win for all Intel Arc GPU users. Please prioritize this fix if you can! Thank you!

My "experience":

Radeon RX 7900 XTX, on Driver 23.1.1

To be fair here this happened after couple of hours of play.

It looks like DX12 is absolutely unusable right now, my game crashes every time. Too bad, before that it really worked wonderfully.

It just crashed with this error message:

There is an issue with textures on AMD card. I posted here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/DX12-Shiny-very-bright-textures-in-some-areas/m-p/12525886#M99...
