This article will help you to solve the Apex Legends crashing issue. From the very first day when Apex Legends was launched in February 2019, it has been on the top when it comes to the latest Battle Royale games out there in the market among the players.

Apex Legends crashing

In May 2020, the season five update was pushed by the developers with all new features intact in the OTA including the new legend known as Loba. Despite all this, certain bugs are also persisting in the game that degrades overall gameplay.

After installing the update of May 2020, our team also noticed bugs that degraded the overall excitement of playing with Loba. First impressions were too bad as the game took another 20 minutes to load as compared to the normal loading time. The first few hints of the bug were discovered in the friend’s tab where the game crashed without any errors.

After a while, we closed the game and searched the web to see if it was any common issue which was faced by millions of gamers and guess what? Reddit was full of these complaints and threads regarding the bug.
