Apex legends glowing textures issue.

[Oddfaerflat]

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:

1. 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. 

1. Reboot into Windows* safe mode. (Refer to Start your PC in safe mode in Windows.)
2. Look for the shortcut on the desktop (step 1.1) or the extract path chosen (step 1.2.1) and run the DDU executable.
3. Click Close in the Options window.

5. Click Clean and restart or Clean and Shutdown depending on your needs.
6. Wait for the software to finish the process. It will automatically reboot Windows to the typical mode or shutdown the system.
