Apex Legends Update Addresses Visual Issues and Hardware Crashes

Apex Legends teams are investigating ongoing performance drops after enemy eliminations while advising players experiencing blue screens or visual bugs to roll back recent graphics driver updates.

Developers are actively investigating hardware-related frame rate drops and stuttering tied to enemy eliminations in Apex Legends. For players encountering severe visual glitches, diminished performance, or blue screen crashes following recent driver installations, a workaround is available.

Known Workaround for Stability Issues

Players suffering from visual issues, performance drops, or blue screen crashes are advised to roll back any recent driver updates applied around May 26. This troubleshooting step is separate from previous recommendations to update AMD drivers.

Active Investigations

The development team continues to investigate specific hardware-related issues causing frame rate drops or stuttering immediately after a player secures an enemy kill.

Why this patch matters

While investigations into post-kill stutters continue, rolling back recent GPU drivers offers a temporary fix for players dealing with critical stability issues.
