Now, let’s get into the step-by-step solutions you can try to fix this problem.
1. Run Apex Legends as an Administrator
The first thing you should try is running the game as an administrator. This gives the game all the permissions it needs and can resolve permission-related crashes. To do this, open the Start Menu and search for either Origin or Apex Legends. Next to the app, click “Run as administrator” and then see if the game still crashes.
2. Limit In-Game FPS
Limiting your in-game FPS (frames per second) can also help. Many users have fixed random crashes by setting a maximum FPS limit.
3. Use Windowed Mode
If limiting FPS doesn’t help, try switching from fullscreen to windowed mode. Some players have fixed crashes this way. Start Apex Legends and go to settings. In video settings, set the display mode to windowed. See if your game works properly now.
4. Disable Origin Overlay
The Origin overlay is useful for chatting with friends but can sometimes cause crashes.
5. Lower EasyAntiCheat Process Priority
Some players have fixed this problem by lowering the priority of the EasyAntiCheat process in Task Manager.
6. Repair EasyAntiCheat
If EasyAntiCheat is not working properly or is corrupted, repairing it may help.
7. Perform a Clean Boot
If none of the above steps work, a background program could be the problem. Performing a clean boot will start Windows with only essential services, helping you find out if something else is interfering. If the game works after a clean boot, something in your startup programs or services is causing the crash.
