In a clean state, you should only have network, sound, date/time, and your graphics icon showing. If there are a dozen or more icons down there, start exiting as many as you can.

(On Windows 10, right-click the time, choose Taskbar settings, go to 'Select which icons appear on the taskbar,' and flip the switch at the top that says 'Always show all icons in the notification area.') Another place to check is your system tray, and tell it to stop hiding things running in the background. That includes your web browser and all those open tabs. You can also shut down and disable any other extraneous applications that might be causing problems. If you have any active monitoring such as Bitdefender or AVG running, try turning it off temporarily to see if that fixes it. Sometimes antivirus software gets a bit confused and interferes with legitimate programs.

Disable antivirus and other extraneous software Oh, and while you're at it, stop ignoring that Windows update notification and let it do its thing.

Then install the latest drivers and try again. Run that (you don't need to be in Safe Mode) and tell it to clear out all your AMD, Intel, and/or Nvidia drivers (one run each).

If that fails, it's also a good idea to do a full graphics driver cleaning, for which we recommend Display Driver Uninstaller. If your drivers need an update, do that, and then try running the game again. You can also manually download new drivers: Nvidia here, AMD here, and for Intel integrated graphics try here (and you have my condolences). With an AMD card, check for drivers in the AMD Radeon Settings menu. If you own an Nvidia GeForce card, you can check for new drivers in the GeForce Experience application.

It's time to either upgrade your PC or refund the game. You may be able to get the game to run anyway, but not well. Sometimes the CPU can be a problem as well, if it requires AVX support and you have a pre-AVX processor (looking at you, Assassin's Creed Odyssey). If you're running an especially old version of Windows, or your video card is a couple generations too far back (eg, a GeForce GTX 460 when a GTX 660 is required), then you've probably found your problem. You can find your Windows version, CPU, and RAM in the System Summary screen, and your video card information under Components > Display. If you're unfamiliar with your PC's components, you may have to do some googling to find out whether or not yours meet the minimum requirements.

If you're new to PC gaming, open the System Information window-an easy way to get there is to hit the circle in your Windows 10 taskbar and search for 'system.' Next, find the game's minimum system requirements, which are usually published on the store page (ie, whatever page you bought the game from, such as the Steam store page). There's much more to come, and it's all being made possible by Razer, which stepped up to support this months-long project. Until then, it may be best for PC players to play Fight Night on console instead.ДЄpex Legends is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.PC Gamer is going back to the basics with a series of guides, how-tos, and deep dives into PC gaming's core concepts that we're calling The Complete Guide to PC Gaming. We'll do our best to offer an update on this situation as soon as one becomes available. It's difficult to know if those few extra hours of development could have prevented the crashes currently happening on PC, but launching a product early and messy is hardly a good look in a post- Cyberpunk world. EST launch time that had been originally announced. In fact, despite this intense anticipation, Apex's developers at Respawn opted to deploy the update early at 1 p.m. At the very least, it should be of some comfort to PC players to know help is on the way after a less-than-stellar gameplay experience the past 48 hours.ДЄs the first major Apex Legends update of 2021, it's no secret the game's passionate legion of fans had been looking forward to the debut of Fight Night.

Given that these issues have still not subsided over time, it would seem a small client-side patch may be required to prevent these crashes in the future. Even though the official Apex Legends Twitter account has yet to mention the PC crashing issues directly, we imagine those social media channels will be the first to announce when a remedy has been found. Unfortunately, however, a timetable for that deployment of that fix has not been revealed. It looks like our games team is currently investigating an issue causing crashes and it should be fixed soon. I can see Apex is not working for you so I will try to help. Hey there, I appreciate your patience with the delayed reply.
