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 graphic card for the game[3] |

Notes
|
Cannot look around in-game
Disable Origin In-Game Overlay |
---|
|
- Note this is usually caused by a conflict of another overlay, i.e. disable Discord's overlay.
Mouse stuttering
Lower mouse polling rate |
---|
|
- Note that lowering polling rates reduces the rate of mouse updates to the PC.
