Issues unresolved

Party Not Ready

When pressing Ready, the game states Party Not Ready, even when playing alone.
Close and open the game, or enter then leave training mode[citation needed]

Crash to desktop

There have been numerous reports of crash to desktop on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.[3]
Downgrading to GPU driver version 417.71 (using DDU) is known to fix the issue[citation needed]
Upgrading to driver version 419.35 is known to fix the issue[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Low FPS/stuttering on Nvidia Optimus platforms

Some Nvidia drivers might not properly detect Apex Legends as a game and automatically select and make use of the Nvidia discrete GPU to render the game on Nvidia Optimus platforms, instead it will default to using the integrated GPU that resides in the CPU (Intel-based GPU).
Configure the Nvidia display drivers to make use of the high-performance Nvidia graphics card for the game[4]
  1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  2. Under Manage 3d settings, open the Program Settings tab.
  3. Add a profile for Apex Legends (r5apex.exe).
  4. Change Select the preferred graphics processor for this program to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

Notes

The Select the preferred graphics processor for this program option is only available on Nvidia Optimus platforms that uses switchable graphics cards, such as laptops and console-sized PCs. If this option is not available then either the system is not an Nvidia Optimus platform, or incorrect iGPU and dGPU drivers are installed. Refer to your system manual and OEM drivers section to locate the proper Intel and Nvidia drivers to use.

Cannot look around in-game

Disable Origin In-Game Overlay
  1. Locate game in Origin Library.
  2. Open game Properties Page.
  3. Uncheck 'Enable Origin In Game'.

Notes

This is usually caused by a conflict of another overlay, i.e. disable Discord's overlay.

Mouse stuttering

Lower mouse polling rate
  1. Open your mouse specific settings.
  2. Check if polling rate is high.
  3. Lower polling rate to 500 or below.

Notes

Lowering polling rates reduces the rate of mouse updates to the PC.
