System Requirements are a statement about performance and compatibility.

POPCNT may be a relatively obscure CPU instruction but the requirements for the game were chosen so that the stated compatible CPUs and newer would all have that instruction available.

The argument that older, relatively high performance CPUs should be able to play doesn't fly specifically due to this missing CPU instruction.

Thanks for posting. Running your hardware at stock clock speeds is a well known troubleshooting step and is even more relevant these days as so many manufacturers are doing 'Factory Overclocking'.

You have some failed Windows updates in your Dxdiag, run Windows Update and install any available updates.

You say you do not have the XC-705 now, please generate and post a new dxdiag if your issue continues after installing the Windows Updates.

Thanks.

We have seen reports of LED/RGB management/configuration software causing an issue. Currently, disabling that software is advised if it is causing this issue with Apex.

Please do not name any player you suspect may be cheating, this is called "Naming and Shaming" and is not allowed on Answers HQ.

If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them.
