Apex Legends Engine Error: How to Fix

Apex Legends’ Engine Error can be one of the most frustrating issues to solve. It is typically caused by GPU driver issues, hardware problems, and in some cases overclocking as well. You may face absolutely no issues and out of nowhere, a recent update can cause your game to crash repeatedly. Here are some quick fixes for the Apex Legends Engine Error that should get your game up and running without any crashes.

Types of Apex Legends Engine Errors

Here are the three variants of the error:

• Engine Error 0X887A0006 – DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

• Engine Error CreateTexture2D

• Engine Error CreateShaderResourceView

• Verify Integrity and Repair Game Files

Repair Game Files

The best-case scenario is that the game files are corrupted and doing a quick repair on Steam or Origin should fix the issue for you.

1. Open Steam or Origin, depending on which launcher, your game is located in.

2. Find Apex Legends in your Library

3. On Steam: Right Click on Apex Legends > Click on Properties > head to Local Files > Click on Verify Integrity of Game Files

4. On Origin: Find the Gear icon next to the play button when clicking on Apex Legends in your Library and click on it. Click on the Repair button in the next popup.

5. The game files will now be automatically verified and any corrupt files will be removed.

Disable XMP and Overclocks

If the above solution did not work, and if you have tried all common solutions already then you should try disabling Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) on your RAM. While the feature is meant to give you a performance boost by overclocking your computer’s memory (RAM), Apex Legends can run into issues. You will need to look for solutions on how to disable XMP for your specific motherboard as the user interface and settings menus can vary drastically for different motherboards.

1. In the Windows search bar, type in 'cmd' and hit enter.

2. In Command Prompt, type in “wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer.”

3. The name of your motherboard will be displayed.

If you have a factory overclocked graphics card or if you manually overclocked your processor or graphics card, you need to disable it and that should resolve the Apex Legends engine error.
