History of Apex Legends

Apex Legends was launched on Feb 4, 2019, and since then it has been grown to huge player base in a short interval of time, but as the game was growing and being popular so was the chain of bugs from player gliding all over the map to getting killed instantly and these kinds of bugs are breaking the hype of the game.

The latest issue which came under focus is from the 1.08 patch which caused freezing of Apex legends for many players making the game literally unplayable and the most of the cases were from the players playing it on PlayStation 4.

The Freeze happens right after the legends selection screen and doesn’t allow players to jump into the King’s Canyon. Many of the Apex legends community members reported their issue on the official Sub-reddit of Apex legends.

Apex Legends

Apex Legends is an excellent game especially if you have tried the latest builds like Battle Royale. However, it’s brutal on processing power and it’s a bit touchy. Gamers with sub-par builds have already started running into problems with the games.

While mostly the game lags, more and more gamers are reporting freezing followed by crashing. If you’re an avid follower of gaming forums, you might have noticed the increasing complaints, especially on EA’s forums. Unfortunately, there’s no single fix to this problem. However, there are a few tips you can try that will improve the performance of your PC and improve the gaming experience. Here are some of them.

Apex freezing and crashing checklist

If you’ve met all of Apex’s minimum requirements and you’re still scratching your head as to why you’re unable to join the game, there are a few tweaks you can make to your system that could help solve the issue.

Update your driver

Keeping your driver up to date is crucial when playing Apex. AMD and Nvidia have released drivers for their video cards that optimize and fix issues related to the game. Install them and see if they take effect.

Downgrade your driver

If you updated your driver to the most recent versions mentioned above and it’s still not working, rolling back to the previous version of the driver is advised.

Disable Freesync, G-Sync, and others

Some video cards have sync options that could cause issues with Apex when paired with the game’s own Vertical Sync. Disabling this feature may solve freezing and crashing.

AMD processors

A few players on the forums have reported issues with AMD’s FX-6000 series processors. Some say small tweaks, like playing in windowed mode, solved their problem, while several others claim that disabling two out of the six processor cores through your BIOS fixes the issue.

Please note that doing the former will drastically reduce your PC’s performance and may cause issues in other software.

Make changes to your game and PC

Repair the game files

Repairing your game files is often a quick and simple fix to freezing and crashing.

When you launch Origin, go to your library, select Apex Legends, and click on the gear icon right of the orange play button. This will open a menu with a repair option.

Freezing and crashing are the last things you want when playing Apex Legends.

Apex has improved leaps and bounds since its release in 2019—from both a gameplay and narrative perspective—but despite Respawn Entertainment’s best efforts, unstable FPS and lag are still all too frequent in the award-winning battle royale.

Widespread reports of freezing and crashing have littered the forums with some players experiencing game-jittering, and others complaining that they can’t join a match.

Why you can’t run Apex

If Apex isn’t loading and you’re stuck on a loading screen, first check if your system meets the game’s minimum requirements.

You most certainly don’t need to break the bank to play Apex, but there a few requirements to take into consideration. If you’re running an AMD Phenom processor, for example, you’ll have to upgrade your CPU.
