Apex Legends Engine Error seems to only effect PC players of Apex Legends, and it completely crashes the client. Usually, an Engine Error (DXGI, CreateTexture2D, or CreateShaderResourceView) message appears on the screen while the game crashes.

Here's how to fix the problem.

Apex Legends Engine Error: How to Fix the Problem

Sadly, for most players, outside of reinstalling the game, there weren't many fixes. A few people have stated, "disabling overlays, other applications and by lowering the Nvidia Graphics driver to 417.71," they found a fix. Players also found some solutions by lowering the graphic settings in the game or turning the display mode to Window or Window Borderless. None of these are guaranteed to work and you be stuck.

If they don't fix the problem, head to steam, and uninstall the game. These error messages usually only appear if there were issues during the initial install.
