Try opening Forza Hub and keep it open before you start apex. Works for me.

Well now, that worked for me. Thanks!

Does the game only crash back to desktop when you launch it, or do you get an APx01 error code ?

Is your game updated to the latest version ?
Is your iGPU disabled ?
Did you tried it with standard CPU speed and/or 60 Hz @ display settings ?

no there is no way this games works for me tried every refresh rate i have even tried sli on and off and windowed mode still crash at the ford gt logo

Same problem here.

I don’t know if you deleted something out of your dxdiag info file, but the most important infos are missing …

Make sure you installed at least driver version 365.10 with official Apex support

.
And try it with your SyncMaster in pivot setting disconnected.

@Natureboy, you appear to be running your CPU on quite a large overclock. Set it to default and see if that helps.
Also both of you make sure your GFX cards are set as priority in your BIOS to avoid windows seeing the intel GFX as default.
Make sure anti-virus is disabled as that can stop a program running if it thinks it’s suspicious for the vaguest of reasons. lol

I also get the same symptom.

I cant locate any files to repair the install, only uninstall.
If this is how UWP is going to work, where if something happens you need to uninstall and then download 19GB again, this is not the kind of thing for me.

nothing works downclocking upclocking or even sideclocking my cpu and sli on or off 60hz 100hz 120hz 144hz nothing work just stops and exits to desktop at the ford gt logo

Can you run it as administrator? Also what drive do you have it installed to? Is it your system drive usually C: or is it another drive?
