How to Fix Apex Legends Crashing After Season 5 Update on PC

May. 13, 2020

Now, I downloaded and installed the update as soon as it came and waited eagerly to enjoy playing with Loba. So, after waiting for Origin to download over 40 gigs of data and installing it, I excitedly launched the game.

At first, the game took more time to load the game data than it generally should. However,the main problem started when I went to my friends list page. As soon as I entered the segment, the game crashed without any error or anything. Since this, the game continued to crash every time I opened it and that frustrated the hell out of me.

So, I did some digging and foundmany players are experiencing the same issueright after the latest update. Going throughReddit, there also I found some of the players complaining about this very thing. However, going through the comments under the aforementioned thread, I found the fix to this problem and it did work for me like a charm.

Here’s How to Fix Apex Legend’s Crash Issue on PC

So, here’s how you can fix this annoying crashing bug.

Now, after you click the “Repair” button, the client will start to verify the game files that are in your device.This might take some time as the program needs to verify over 40 GB of data. After verifying the game files, in my case, the client started to download an additional 16 GB of data, that took about 45 mins to complete.

However, after this download, when I launched the game, it ran perfectly as it should with no signs of crashing or issues with loading data.It seems likethe latest patch does not properly install the update, leaving out over 16 GB of game data.

So, if you are facing this very same issue, there is a high chance that this fix will work for you, as it did for me. Go on and give it a try and if it works, you can thank me in the comments down below. Happy gaming!
