Causes of r5apex.exe Application Error

The most common causes of this error are the user’s system, namely the lack of necessary components: up-to-date DirectX, Visual C ++, driver updates. Sometimes a failure occurs due to the lack of KB updates in the operating system. Also, here it is necessary to add system garbage and a banal inadequacy to the requirements of the game. As you know, Apex Legends is more demanding on the processor than on the video card. Moreover, you can somehow figure out the graphics, for example, by lowering the video add-ons, but adding the required SSSE3 instruction will not work. This issue only occurs for players who are still using an older version of Windows such as 7 and 8.1. There are various ways to solve the problem.

Improving FPS in Apex Legends

We follow simple instructions – with the options for medium / low settings for very weak PCs, choose the smallest, respectively:

• Match the normal aspect ratio of your screen to your monitor. Find out the exact settings when you go to the desktop. Click here with the right mouse button and go to the “Screen Expansion” section. The corresponding menu will open, where all the information you need is indicated.
• Display mode – set exclusively on the entire full screen. There should not be a value of “In a window” or “In a window without a frame”, because it eats up personnel quite substantially.
• Further, the “Field of View” settings – here no more than 90, since there is also a useless consumption of PC power. At the same time, you will not feel much of a difference that affects the comfort of the gaming process.
• “Color Filter” – set “Protanopia or Off.”
• Disable Vertical Sync, just like in other demanding games.
• “Adaptive resolution” – to 0, since in fact these are backup frames for no drawdowns.
• Disable – “Smoothing”.
• The quality of the textures is either Low or Medium.
• Filtering textures – choose only “Bilinear”, and here the power of the hardware, by and large, does not matter.
• Set all subsequent parameters to “Low” or “Off.” – otherwise, the increase will be only 5-10 frames.

Check the integrity of the files

You may need to verify the integrity of the files installed in the Apex Legends game. If this is the problem, then they can be restored through the Origin client.

• Next, go to Drive C – Program Files – Origin Games – Apex – EasyAntiCheat. Run the anti-cheat as an administrator. Right-click on the program icon and select the appropriate item.
• If you are running as administrator for the first time, you will need to run the “EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe” installation file directly.
• A window will open in which you need to click “Help with recovery”. Wait until the process is complete.

After that, launch Origin and go to the library, where through the RMB click “Update game”.

Conclusion

If all the procedures were carried out correctly, the error should not bother you anymore. In this case, only the lack of optimization can cause a bug. The video game came out almost a finished product, with a lot of “raw” places. Therefore, the developers regularly post updates and all kinds of patches. If none of the options helped you – in this case, you will need to wait for the update to be released and start the game again. Many gamers who have encountered this error are discussing on the forums – to switch to Win10 or to wait? It is worth noting that Windows 10 is perfectly optimized for the game, so all important libraries are correctly recognized and work. And the talk that OS 10 “eats up resources and memory” are just unconfirmed rumors!
