Apex legends glowing textures issue.

The textures glows in game. Changing options and video settings not helping. Using the newest driver versions.

Hi Oddfaerflat,

Thank you for reaching out to the Intel Community Forum. I appreciate your message and want to assure you that I’m here to help address your concern. To better understand the issue and provide accurate support, could you please share the following information:

Have you tried fully resetting the in‑game graphics settings to their default values?
What anti‑aliasing setting are you currently using?
Is HDR enabled in the Windows display settings or within the game itself?
Did this issue begin after a recent driver or game update?
Are you using any graphics enhancement or overlay software?
Does the glowing effect impact all textures or only specific ones (such as weapons, environments, or characters)?
Does this occur in the lobby or menus, or only during active gameplay?
Have you verified the game files through Steam, Origin, or the EA App?
Does the same behavior occur in other games?
Have you tried running Apex Legends in windowed mode versus fullscreen?
Have you updated to the latest Intel® graphics driver version ⁠32.0.101.8735? If not, please proceed with the update, as based on the logs you provided, the currently installed driver is not up to date.

Your responses will help determine whether the issue is related to a driver conflict, corrupted game files, a hardware limitation, or a specific graphics setting. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Hi Oddfaerflat,

Thanks for getting back! For further investigation of the issue, please confirm if you have tried to use Display Drive Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove the current/previous graphics driver residuals before updating/installing latest intel graphics driver? if not, please try to use DDU to completely remove residuals and proceed to do a clean installation of latest Intel Graphics driver ⁠32.0.101.8735. Please follow the instructions below:

Uninstall the current/previous graphics driver version using Display Drive Uninstaller (DDU) by following the instructions below:

Download the latest version of the software.

If you download the Installer, run it, it will create a shortcut on the desktop.
If you download the Portable/ self-extracting version, look for the executable and extract it. Remember the path.

Reboot into Windows* safe mode. (Refer to Start your PC in safe mode in Windows.)
Look for the shortcut on the desktop (step 1.1) or the extract path chosen (step 1.2.1) and run the DDU executable.
Click Close in the Options window.
Select device type to GPU and select device to the one you want to remove. If you are doing a clean-up, you can choose all GPUs.
Click Clean and restart or Clean and Shutdown depending on your needs.
Wait for the software to finish the process. It will automatically reboot Windows to the typical mode or shutdown the system.

シーズン29のこの問題は多くのMAPで出てます。

GeForceやRadeonではこの症状が出てないのが不思議です。

シーズン29のパッチノートを確認すると

今シーズンでは新たにグラフィックの変更があったのでそれも関係していると思いますが

前シーズン28でも同様の問題があったので早い対策を期待してます。

発光するバグなのでAPEXではかなり不利になるので

GeForce30シリーズ～やRadeon6000シリーズ～ではこの問題が発生してない事から

Intelグラボにない調整や設定が上記グラボのDriverでは出来ていると思うので

出来ればこれらを解析して調べて修正して欲しい

空、雲、雪、火山、木など通常では発光してない描写が何らかの原因で

発光してる感じです。

APEXシーズン29のコントロールLABでは木が緑色に発光します（下記画像）

移動すると通常描写になる位置もありますが緑色に発光してた部分は

木の葉全体ではなく木と葉の隙間が発光しているようにも感じます。

光、葉の色、影の認識がIntel Arc B580には欠けてるのかも？

それらが一塊に発光してようにも感じる

木と葉　光と影空間が一緒に表現？

説明が難しいですが前シーズン今シーズンもこの問題を抱えてます。

私も同様にDDUを使用してクリーンインストールをしたり

Intel Arc Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8737

Intel Arc Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8735

Intel Arc Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8724 WHQL

などの新旧ドライバーを試したり

Intel Arc Graphics Softwareの設定をDefaultや順番に設定して確認もしてみましたが

解決には至ってません。

2026年５月４日よりIntelカスタマーサービスへも連絡して

各種資料とSSUも2度提出し現在もやり取りをしてますが

出来ればIntel内での解決ではなくAPEXの担当者としっかり会話をして

修正を行なって欲しいと思います。

Intelの開発者は非常に優秀だとは思いますがAPEXは非常にバグ等が多いゲームです。

毎シーズン微調整しているので前シーズンにはなかった修正をこの木やその他

発光している部分を修正した可能性があります。

ただ先にも書いたようにIntel以外のグラボでこの現象が出てないのが

非常に気になります。

ここを解決しない限り今後も継続して発生する可能性があるので

この機会にAPEXやその他発光等の問題が発生しているゲーム担当者と

話し合いをして欲しいと思います。

グラボをGeForceやRadeonに交換すればと思うかもですが

金銭事情もあるので簡単にはいきません。

迅速な対応を期待してます。

よろしくお願い致します
