FIX: Apex Legends crashing on AMD FX-6300 processor

Unable to play Apex Legends on your AMD FX-6300 powered machine? The game crashes mid-game without error? You’re not alone. Many users are facing similar issues while running Apex Legends on an AMD FX-6300 CPU.

Thankfully, DanielHsn over at the EA community forums has posted a technical fix that’s reportedly working out for many users. According to DanielHsn, the game’s default dxsupport.cfg file makes the processor conflict between cpu_level 0 and cpu_level 1 and thus causing it to crash mid-game. If you modify the values in dxsupport.cfg file to only load the cpu_level 1, it completely fixes the crashing issue in the game.

How to fix Apex Legends crashing issue on AMD FX-6300 CPU

Open the Apex Legends installation directory on your PC. By default, it should be C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesApex.
Open the bin folder inside the Apex Legends installation directory.
Make a backup of the dxsupport.cfg by copying it elsewhere on your PC.

Open the dxsupport.cfg file with a text editor (Notepad++, preferably), find the following code (between line 67-88) and replace it with the code in the next step.

 "9"
 {
 "name" "CPU Level"
 "min_phys_processor_count" "1"
 "max_phys_processor_count" "3"
 "min_log_processor_count" "1"
 "max_log_processor_count" "3"
 "min_clockspeed" "0"
 "max_clockspeed" "65535"
 "cpu_level" "0"
 }
 "10"
 {
 "name" "CPU Level"
 "min_phys_processor_count" "2"
 "max_phys_processor_count" "3"
 "min_log_processor_count" "4"
 "max_log_processor_count" "65535"
 "min_clockspeed" "2880"
 "max_clockspeed" "65535"
 "cpu_level" "1"
 }

Replace the code above with the code mentioned below:

 "9"
 {
 "name" "CPU Level"
 "min_phys_processor_count" "1"
 "max_phys_processor_count" "2"
 "min_log_processor_count" "1"
 "max_log_processor_count" "3"
 "min_clockspeed" "0"
 "max_clockspeed" "65535"
 "cpu_level" "0"
 }

 "10"
 {
 "name" "CPU Level"
 "min_phys_processor_count" "3"
 "max_phys_processor_count" "6"
 "min_log_processor_count" "4"
 "max_log_processor_count" "65535"
 "min_clockspeed" "2880"
 "max_clockspeed" "65535"
 "cpu_level" "1"
 }
