Answer

Open Apex Legends on the intended account and follow the current in-product controls for “How to Fix Unsupported CPU - “CPU Does Not Have SSSE3” in Apex Legends.” Confirm the result before spending currency, deleting data, unlinking an account, or applying the same change elsewhere.

Confirm the supported starting point

Open Apex Legends from its official app, launcher, or website and sign into the intended account. Check the linked owner guidance for current eligibility, platform, region, or version limits before following the recorded in-product path.

Verify the Apex Legends Game Files

Make sure to open up your Steam or Origin launcher. We will show this step using the Steam launcher.

Review On the window, in the Local Files tab, select Verify integrity

On the window, in the Local Files tab, select Verify integrity of game files. Redownloading and replacing any missing or corrupted game files will take a minute.

Use Launch Options for Apex Legends

When this is done, navigate to the General tab of this window and select Set Launch Options. Here you can use different commands which will change a few settings.

Change the Apex Legends Compatibility Settings

Navigate back to the Local Files tab. Select Browse Local Files.

Confirm the result

Return to the relevant Apex Legends screen and verify the change on the intended account, character, file, or device. Do not repeat a purchase, unlink an account, delete progress, or overwrite a working configuration merely because the page has not refreshed.

Recover without losing data

If a label has moved, update and restart Apex Legends, then search its official help for the exact task. Preserve saves and account access, undo only the last reversible change, and avoid unofficial tools or instructions that bypass restrictions.
