Reports from users suggests that the Apex Legends black textures bug on Origin is back in Season 8 Mayhem.
While this is not a game breaking bug as you can still continue to play the game, it’s not ideal in terms of the aesthetics of the game as legends, items, and location of the game are either black or missing completely. Stick with the post and we will help you fix the problem.
Fix Apex Legends Black Textures Bug on Origin in Season 8 Mayhem
The reason you are seeing the Apex Legends black textures bug is because there was a fault or issue while updating the game. Some of the textures were either corrupted or not downloaded. This is causing the missing or black texture as the game cannot find the texture file on your device. As such, the fix for the issue is pretty simple, you need to download the missing texture files. The quickest way to do this in the Origin client is via the Repair feature.
Using the Repair feature the launcher will check the game files for missing, corrupted, or redundant files and replace them with new. This is a quicker process to reinstalling the entire game. To perform the process, open the Library and go to Apex Legends > click on the gear icon to go to Settings > click on Repair.
Once the process is complete, it will download the missing texture files and the black texture issue in the game will be resolved. If the repair process does not resolve the issue, the only proven fix for the problem is to reinstall the game completely.
While normally the repair process is quicker, the game may take longer to fix and download the texture files compared to the update. So, be patient and wait for the entire process to complete.
