Also, if this doesn't work for you make sure to disable Xbox Game Bar in Windows settings. Having it enabled may cause some issues
Its worth mentioning that this tip is irrelevant with directx 12 mode. However, dx12 is currently in beta and may lead to lower performance, along with potential issues on some hardware while offering no other tangible benefits. I recommend waiting until the official release of dx12 mode, but if you want to use it now simply add "-eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json" to your launch options. Even when DX12 is fully launched, this could still be the lowest latency option on some machines. - Hry
This is fantastic I noticed an immediate improvement I've always had trouble tracking moving targets without stuttering (I always thought this was a skill issue) but it seems like changing these settings is helping quite a lot.
dude you are the best! i looked for so long to find a fix for my stutters and after months of searching you finally saved me. cant thank you enough!
Thanks for the guide, the difference is crazy, much more responsive now.
I followed your guide. Now I can track enemies easier than ever. However I can still see Windows' volume UI overlay so I think it doesn't matter at all. Thank you so much!
Hey, thank u. I feel more smoother when tracking. Thank u so much, maybe i wanna share this tutorial with my viewer on my discord. Thanks a lot man!
thanks lobo, def gonna use this! I think I tried it from ur last vid but idk if it worked so i’m definitely gonna try again just in case!
You legend, finally my game is buttery smooth again! Thanks!
Actually a godsend bro I had been having issues for months and this fixed apex for me like honestly thank you so much man
The difference was very noticeable. Very good tip. Thanks.
I hope nothing but the best 4 u my dude thank you
Bro this video deserves so much views, its crazy how much game changes with this.
Huge fan of your informative guides bro. You've seriously been killing it and I hope you keep it up!
i run a 30 series card and have followed these optimizations (and yes they seem to be taking effect), but unfortunately I still face some stutters and noticeable input lag. is there anything I might be missing? ty dog
how are your CPU and RAM looking?
@@LOBOTOMYtv running a i5-10400f. 2x8 ram in their proper slots, however my mobo + CPU combo actually doesn't allow me to go higher than 2666mhz, even with xmp enabled.
@@saveme8199 upgrade your cpu to 12or13gen and mb
@@saveme8199 That's why.
Your 2666mhz RAM doesn't have the latency to keep frametimes at 16ms or lower all the time.

i have ddr5 wit 13900k and i still stutter so open in the game. something is def up
I cant screenshot in-game now? It turns out black only. Is their a work around? Despite I didnt really have a problem with smoothness before it does feel a bit snappier for sure. Love videos like this :)
Does this reset when you update your drivers? Idt I did, but for some reason it reset like a week later. I might've done something, but not sure what would've reset it. Thanks for the video regardless!
I thankfully haven’t had any issues with DX12 except one and that is whenever I get in the main lobby my screen is black but then I turn the TSAA on in game then it’s back but other than that I definitely notice improvements the game noticeably looks better and even feels better.
I don't think there are any actual graphics improvements, but it definitely runs nice on some systems. I think windows 11 + dx12 will be the move but for win 10 users dx11 with this regedit fix is better in most cases
@@LOBOTOMYtv maybe it’s a placebo effect for me it’s just weird bc for whatever reason the game does look a lot better and I’m playing in 16 by 10 stretched. I am on windows 11 though so that probably does help.
You're a life saver bro
Hi, I followed all the steps here and some from your hour long video to increase my fps, and I definitely saw an increase.
I also tried dx12 on win10 and it actually has higher fps than dx11, but for some reason my task manager shows 0% GPU usage. Is this some kind of bug I should be worried about? My GPU's fans definitely ramp up when I tab into the game. I'm on a 1080ti with the latest nvidia drivers, pretty sure windows is up to date. I don't know where else to ask, so thought I'd shoot my shot here lol
Definitely a bug. Try hwinfo or capframex and rtss for better info
@@LOBOTOMYtv how do i do this to the dx12 version doesnt appear for me in registry
no joke, this made my game feel smoother and more responsive. i did it on the first version of windows 11. and it works. not the latest windows 11 version though.
latest version of win 11 just do the graphic setting I mention, but yeah anything other than that this is still the best method
@@LOBOTOMYtv huh.. glad i saw this comment, I'm confused now, I have newest windows 11, what setting is irrelevant now?
thanks a lot i feel like the latency improved a bit
brooo my game just feel better my traking ads i dont now man ,i was playing on 120ms lobbies and after the setting boom! 20ms lobby 10 kills win the game . lol thank you bro
Man this help 😍your a god!! Ill givetvis you a 👍 and a sub bro no doubt
thanks for all your work on Apex Latency otpimisations on your videos
Just a question, in 1st one u checked "overide DPI scaling , system (enhanced) " but not in this one, what DPI scaling does ?
I feel like it doesnt make it exclusive fullscreen, seems like it just disables the pop up when you change your volume. cause when I tab out its really fast like on borderless window
good guide could be 20 second though plus 5 sec segment not campatible with server thats all + test with ctrl m shortcut that mutes sounds icon
Wow, I noticed the difference in smoothness while tracking immediately. Question: could one do this for Overwatch 2 as well?
dont see any reason to
@@LOBOTOMYtv Wouldn't OW2 suffer from the same Windows 10 full screen optimization issues you diagnosed here?
so stay DX11 on win 10 and switch to DX12 on win 11 is your advice?
Just FYI, you can *ALWAYS* find apex in gameconfigstore; The reason why it's sometimes missing is when the Xbox Game Bar is disabled/uninstalled.
To solve it you can always reinstall XGB (xbox game bar), start Apex once, then do the things in the registry and uninstall the game bar.
Also some important fact; FSE (fullscreen exclusive) does *not* work on Windows 10 with any game if the Xbox Game Bar is installed & active.
definitely works with xgb installed, but didnt know it has to be deactivated. I always do that anyway so didn't realize it was important. Good to know also about the registry fix. Still won't help on windows NT versions I believe
try now and don't write any new key in gameconfigstore about apex
ty man :)
Hey chief Apex has been dropping frames hard for a few seconds low GPU usage for that moment then back to normal it’s so unplayable
Do i need to tick disable full screen optimization even if im on win11? Or just enable windwed optimization in graphics settings
I'm on win11. Did the steps in the vid. Seem to lock my fps 151 fps on adaptive and wont let go any higher and tried restarting . does it mater the series of graphics card. Running a 1070ti,aoc 144hz 1080p, 12600k. When I go back to dx11 it hits way above what I get in dx12. Does run a little smoother at times but glitches at times during fights. Good vid by the way
This only works in dx11. Not sure about rest of the comment ATM but yeah probably just stick with dx11 if it works
Hello, thanks for this tip, is it normal that after changing this alt-tabbing out of apex is slower?
yes, he said it in the video
yeah unfortunate downside but its worth it
you should make a guide on how to improve enemy visibility.
if I knew a method I'd be all over it but sadly there isn't one
@@LOBOTOMYtv good config, remove shades
Csm enabled = 0 is the best you're going to get.
@@nexxusty what does it do?
@@nexxusty ?
Do you still need to disable full screen optimizations in the exe on windows 11?
So I guess I'm the only person with the problem of not seeing my reticle when I aim in after trying DX12.. My game also looks darker than usual
I have the same issue, this happens when you don't match your apex resolution to your windows Res. For ex: if windows is on native 1920x1080 and apex is on something like 1600x900.
if i dont have that ability on my keyboard is there anther way to test it
I did this, and it didnt remove overlays and force true fullscreen. Do I need to add a launch option?
I guess what I'm asking is how can I test this I don't have the ability to pause spotify if I hit my windows tab and I got back home screen is that mean it's not working?
if you ever have the time or will try and make a revios turtorial?
I feel like they have pretty good resources on it but I could do that since there's some demand for it. Though ideally if I'm doing that I'd want to be able to compare my performance on standard windows vs revios so it would take a bit of time and effort
you have to be the best setting channel for apex and i feel privlegded to have found your channel, thank you @lobotomytv🔥
what about people with gpus limited to dx11 feature level ? they wont be able to play apex in the future when the dx12 is officially implemented ?
I don't see why they would ever remove the dx11 version, but it won't support some new graphics features
if i made a before and after vid of these settings... sheeesh
After running through your guide sometimes when I alt tab back in game my entire PC crashes/ freezes. Any way to fix this or troubleshoot?
If you set high performance mode in nvidia control panel try turning that back to optimal/adaptive. Other than that no clue, just gonna have to retrace your steps until you find which one caused it
if i hhave windows 11 - should i also disable fullscfeen opti?
so i’ve been running this for months cuz of you but maybe once a week it changes back in my registry n i have to re-edit it, no clue why
that's super weird but does it actually change your performance or anything? I've had it change back for me a few times but it still was launching in exclusive fullscreen mode. I think it was confused by me switching between origin and steam tho
do i have to do this every time i log on my pc?
Wait. So what does changing the flags from 11 to 211 actually do? Also, does this fix work for similar server based games like The Cycle, TF2, Fortnite, etc...?
all we're doing is forcing windows to recognize that we want to disable fullscreen optimizations. Apex doesn't recognize it when we just do it through windows properties so we have to edit the registry. With most games you can just go to properties instead of using the registry
@@LOBOTOMYtv Oh. Gotcha. So it might help with other games, but we probably won't need the regedit tweaks to do it. Thanks!
Here's to hoping I stopping lagging into rocks and other stupid stuff.
This is inane. I was palying apex since day1 pred/master all seassons. And it always feel sluggish and "slow" for mouse movement. But since i swtichet to win11 and turn on this setting YOOOOO. This is completly new game for me thx dude. Nut sure if this works for win10 as for win11.
well tbh with win11 rather than doing the registry edit you can just do the graphic setting I mentioned with windowed game optimization but yeah either way works
@@LOBOTOMYtv yes this is what i did turn on setting, I didnt do registry thing.
@@LOBOTOMYtv Windowed game optimization+borderless is still a tiny bit worse than fullscreen
Hey how can you do fullscreen for the r5apex_dx12.exe cuz I cant see media keys on dx11 apex but 12 i can see the volume bar
Yea same here
what scaling mode do i need enabled for this to work in nvidia control panel? aspect or full screen or no scaling?
nothing to do with scaling
🗣️UNREAL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😩 thank god for you sir I sincerely appreciate you & passion for helping other jeez man dinner on me boys cheers 🍻
if I start it with dx12 the optics are buggy
this worked for me on my previous monitor but i had to do it again on my new monitor and its not working now. do you know whats up?
edit: fixed it, needed to reinstall graphic drivers
good to hear although my current recommendation unless you have pre rtx 30 series/pre radeon 6000 series would be to use dx12 with windows 11 to address the same issue while also making borderless better. You can still use this with dx11 if you decide to switch back
@@LOBOTOMYtv I've tried dx12, just doesn't seem on par with normal version of apex. Doesn't feel as smooth idk. Btw I have a different question, do you know how to remove frame cap? I've removed it from rtss, I've removed the code from steam and it still locks at 235
so I’m on windows 11 (mistake I made and idk how to go back to 10) and I can’t find that setting u showed specifically for win 11. when I follow those steps the setting just isn’t there. what should I do?
@@chy.0190 thanks
@@hypnotic_o yeah sorry not sure if I clarified that its only in the newer versions
@@LOBOTOMYtv I updated and the setting didn’t work, I could still see pop ups when I changed my volume through my keyboard and stuff. so I just followed the reg edits and it worked perfectly! thanks lobo ur amazing 🐐
my apex is boxed :D how to fix ?
is this okay with EA app
I'm on 70 hours of apex, gold ll, top of the line system, 360hz monitor, game was NEVER smooth, only using 1 monitor, been trying everything
I'll update if it works
You forgot to update us bro
@@vergilfromdmc1108 i gave my wife that monitor and went back to my alienware AW2721D 1440p 240hz, i cant see ANYTHING in 1080p at a distance, and felt no real benefit or difference in delay or timings, 1440p i immediately did better, and could actually see, a huge benefit, cant do 1080p, but im also 29 years old so maybe im just getting older lol and my eye sight idk, used to be excellent at shooters but apex makes me feel special, and it from the code to the top is an unoptimized piece of doodoo, with too many special codes, and files you need to change and also keep your fps at 144 for superglides which i dont do, this game is the most unfair, and brutal for new players who are not aware of the silly things people do and shouldn't do that give them unfair and unseen advantages over others unless you somehow get someone to tell you the truth, if they fixed warzone 2 and made the movement back to normal i would return to rebirth island and love it, had a 3kd there, but when warzone 2 was released and it was horrible i switched to apex, but truthfully i dont like this game lol
can changing the flags in regedit for any fullscreen game have the same effect?
doesnt do anything in dx12 games and with most dx11 games you can just go to properties and check disable fullscreen optimizations. Apex ignores that setting for whatever reason, thats why we use the registry
ah okay thanks man
what are your launch options?
-dev is the only notable one if you don't use stretched res
I've a 165hz monitor, should i cap my fps? It drops from 165 to 130 ish in congest areas?
Is half adaptive v sync a bad idea? Im getting a fluctuation of 300 to 150 on it
You would miss your frames and enemy would see you sooner, just disable v-sync. Cap the FPS at a stable framerate like if your FPS varies from 140-200, you would want to cap it on 140 so always getting your shots constant at a stable frame rate.
@@manz5435 Thanks, I don't use v sync anymore. I've actually enabled g sync in Nvidia control panel? Capped at 160 because my pc can maintain this, it only ever drops if there's lots of abilities/nades, but it doesn't feel choppy during this.
My main issue is by it feels like there's ever so small stutters, especially close range. All my settings are on low apart from Textures and Anisotropic. I can't explain it man but it doesn't feel as smooth as it should be, sometimes I feel like enemies are killing me faster than they should, sometimes I feel it's hard to hit shots etc
Any tips. I've set Nvidia control panel to ultra low latency, performance mode etc
@@alanaherne6278Np mate. Well, actually I suggest you to cap your frame rate at most stable frames you get, you want to always track your mouse at a certain stable frame rate for better muscle memory. Like I have 240hz, I could get 160 for most of the time but in certain maps and high tensity fights I would lose fps and that's the time I can't shoot my PK or track my SMG precisely at close range fights.
For enemy killing you first, it's because this season many people fight with blue armors while they are not white yet, their mindset is to shoot amount of bullets and get back to cover but because they're not blue or purple the timing would mess up. Second, Conduit and Rev are meta, use the meta, you shoot people and expect them to die, but they get conduit in the mid-fight and get back to cover. Rev get 75 more shields with ult, that's too much for a fight and for these reason it's almost certain that if you don't have conduit on your team you are at a huge disadvantage.
At the end, I would suggest if you know what you are doing, there are two more adjustments you could do, decrease queue size of the mouse and keyboard at 50 decimal value, I wouldn't get dive deep into it, but that's a game changer. Hope you best ranked, mate.
What if you play on gone👀
just put this on got a 20 bomb first game
can you do the 211 flag fix for revios?
ye
damn u got goats in apex added on steam i peeped lmao
but is this legal ? this not change the game files or something ( the part of registry) im afraid of ban please reply to my comment thank u
its completely fine lol and literally undetectable. its just changing stuff on your pc
@@LOBOTOMYtv ok thank you
or use linux and block compositing

yeah
This made my Stream look darker only when i have the game open for some reason. Help!
bc now your game is in proper fullscreen and actually manages its own brightness properly instead of a combination with desktop brightness. you can just add a filter in obs on your game source to raise brightness
@@LOBOTOMYtv how would i do that? everything else looks fine its just when i open apex
@@LOBOTOMYtv i use streamlabs
@@LOBOTOMYtv when i set the option from 211 back to 11 it seems to fix it but it adds the stutter back

not possible
I'm on windows11, dx12, and a 4070ti. The game feels perfect at dx12 +without disabling full screen optimization. When I try to check that disable fso, the game feels laggier a little
you must not have paid much attention because I addressed dx12 in the video. This is only for dx11 and has no effect on dx12. Also directx12 apex is literally a different exe. Doing this will in no way shape or form affect your dx12 game, you're just tripping
@@LOBOTOMYtv No, I mean, I tried changing the setting for that DX12 .exe file and the game feels a tiny bit laggier than before.
After alt tab the mouse cursor is appearing in the middle of the screen. why?
just press escape lol that's been a bug in the game for almost a year
@@LOBOTOMYtv i know but only appear after change on reg 11 to 211
I did and I still see volume overlay :(
tbh this is outdated just use dx12 imo
so dx12 and not do this video bro ?
Did anyone knows how to apply that regfix to the dx12 version of the game, i've felt that it was way smother than the dx11 one and was wondering if its also apliable?
its not possible with dx12, however it does for the most part fix the issue we're addressing with this tweak. DX12 in apex has lower performance and more stutters for many people though so I would recommend staying on dx11 until it comes out of beta
@@LOBOTOMYtv mine says r5apex_dx12 what do I do then?
@@johnnylong1113 remove the command u added to launch options
don't tick disable fullscreen optimizations, when you record screen gameplay using outplayed it will freeze frame on the recording..
your first issue was using outplayed lmao. just use obs and use game capture
Don't listen to this guy, Idk what time he's living in but nobody does this whole fullscreen exclusive mode anymore cause Microsoft got their shit together and their fullscreen optimization works beautifully now and the only thing you'll get is like 0.5-1 ms which is not noticeable, at all, a human reaction time is like 180-200ms on average. It causes more trouble than it solves. I know because this is how I played the game for over a year, but it kept glitching, as soon as I disabled it and went back to optimized fullscreen my game ran a lot better. You'd get much more noticeable improvement from lowering the mouse queue size, google it cause I'm not explaining it.
I aint reading all that
You should't disable fullscreen optimization it literally says optimization.
Stop spreading miss information
if this isn't a joke you are incredibly dense LMFAO
Lmao
@@LOBOTOMYtv In the past it was recommend to disable fullscreen optimization because it was bugy at the time
For now on it fine and even better to have it on
@@LOBOTOMYtv And what "dense" mean ?
if u guys know how to fix cursor not showing on my monitor when I play apex using this step and live using tiktok live studio pls teach us to showing up the cursor when capturing apex in tiktok studio (I'm not getting stream key from tiktok, if u live with obs u should have no problem like me)
if im not using this step, the game run so broke, unstable. like not smoother when tracking.
I can't get this fix to work on r5reloaded/FlowStateAimTrainer :/ I tried disabling full screen opzs on launcher.exe and did the regedit thing on the the r5apex.exe in the r5reloaded folder. Incidentally, I wasn't able to try this fix on my normal Apex install cause it would find the r5reloaded exe instead of the Origin one. Thinking it might just be easier to try and..."obtain" Windows 11 then deal with these shenans... Also, wasn't able to edit the launcher.exe in regedit to change 11 to 211. Also, does anyone know the significance of these values? Can I just put 0?
11 corresponds to fullscreen optimizations enabled, 211 corresponds to disabled. Shouldnt need to regedit anything other than apex to get it to work. I think I remember having the same issue with r5reloaded and wasnt sure how I fixed it if at all. I think the issue is due to being installed separately, but even if you could fix it, the game has more input lag for me bc of no nvidia reflex and 190 frame cap
@@LOBOTOMYtv Hey, so I found out you can turn on full screen by pressing "Alt+Enter". You can turn on windowed mode, then press "Alt+Enter" so that you can tell that it is on. Lol, the first time I wrote this, I accidentally wrote "Alt+F4".
If I have r5apex_dx12.exe, so I guess I'm already on dx12? There's no point in doing it for me then if I understand correctly
Devs added beta version of dx12 to those that want to try it out. You are still on dx11 version of the game if you didn't use launch option command
'' -eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json ''.
