    Hello all,

    I was playing apex last night, and in the middle of a game my entire screen froze and the game crashed. The home screen started flickering, and when I tried opening the game back up it froze halfway through the launch. I restarted my Xbox, nothing, and even did a full factory reset and still nothing. Even with all data wiped off the console (including apex), the glitch persisted. The weird thing is, all games work perfectly normal, and the flickering screen doesn’t have any actual effects on the console. The only thing that is actually effected is apex legends, which gets stuck on a black screen when opened.

    I’m not exactly sure where this seems familiar from, but I feel like I have seen this glitch before. Maybe some of you have seen this before as well and know what to do. I normally am the go to tech support guy but I’m stumped here. The only thing I really use my series S for is playing apex, so the game not working anymore practically makes my Xbox useless. I would be happy to offer anyone a reward who is able to find a solution, given that my entire console is at stake. I will attach a video of the flickering on the home screen, and a picture of the black screen apex gets stuck on.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help! If anyone can save me from another $300 xbox I’d be happy to reward them!

    Flickering screen started after Apex Legends crashed, now home screen has permanent flickering and Apex won't open

    Hi YT, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you ready to assist with this

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this in your Xbox Series S
    May I know if you tried using a different HDMI cable to see if that makes a difference?
    Or maybe connecting the console to a different HDMI port in your TV

    Also, may I know if your console is enrolled yo the insiders program?

    Given that you've tried a full restart, a factory reset, and reinstalling games, unfortunately I think it's possibly GPU failure, as the sparkling you're seeing on screen is a symptom of that.

    Have you got another HDMI cable you can try? How long have you had the console?

    Xbox Series S crashing often

    Hi,

    It has done it after doing the above steps but this time there was no noise or black screen it just crashed straight to the Home Screen and isn't letting them start the game.

    Thanks.

    Xbox One X HDMI disconnects

    Just Apex Legends? Black screen for a second or two? Resolves itself?

    HELP!!! Bingo app crashed on startup.

    I tried all those steps, but it still isn't working on the Surface Pro 3. The flicker has stopped, but as soon as it gets to the loading screen and the music starts, it freezes for 5-10 seconds and then crashes. :-(
