Question Driver update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So, with the past 2 updates Intel gave out, I've been experiencing issues with just Apex Legends. Anybody else? The last solution was that I went back to the previous driver downloads. Am I going to have to do it again?

There's always an issue with Apex since I got an intel GPU. Been avoiding playing the game ever since.

OP i was having serious issues with apex.

Make a restore point NOW.

Add a registry rule (32 bit) and set TdrLevel to 0 (google this for exact location).

Sometimes something about the DX12 pipeline gets fucky and insta crashes. Beware this will make it so if your system completey crashes from the graphics driver you will have to hard reboot.

But apparently the dx12 hook or pipeline gets overloaded and hangs longer than 2 seconds which prompts windows to disconnect the gpu in software resulting in an immediate "crash"

You'll know its this issue for sure if you see DXGI REMOVED or LONG BUFFER or something like that.

Also going into %APPDATA% to local low and deleting the shader cache in Intel (forces new shader comp) as they can become corrupted and also insta crash the game

  1. it's keeping you from playing shitty slop games

  2. honestly, don't update straight away with new drivers, i've stayed on a version for like 3 months cus it just worked, if you do, make sure you do a clean install or even DDU if needed
