Apex Legends has been out for a month now and its popularity continues to grow at a staggering rate with 50 million players now registered and playing. Although the game still has a ton of issues to address, including game crashes, FPS drops, weapons exploits, and now a heavy onset of cheaters (from the usual places), it’s still exceptionally enjoyable to play. If you don’t encounter blatant cheaters in your match of course. (There’s a plan in place to deal with this scourge)

If you’ve missed it, there was also an NVIDIA driver release this week (419.35) that sees a massive improvement in overall game performance and drastically reduces crash rates across most devices. There are still users having crash issues after updating to 419.35 but the rate has significantly decreased. If you haven’t tried the new drivers yet, I strongly suggest doing so, in my case game performance has doubled and the game has stopped crashing entirely.

Getting back on track though, if you are looking for a way to disable the Apex Legends splash screen, you can do so very easily and without the risk of the game detecting the change as malicious. In fact, you can use the same process for most games in the Origin library. The only catch is that you can only do this on PC. So follow along as we guide you through the process.
